There are lots of reasons why you buy a game but there are two main things that are the most important. The game play for some and graphics for others

The game play of course is assuming you have been told that it is good or read reviews about the game.

so?

Edit: Pleas tell me what you chose so I can put your names in for a thread I want to do later on.

How it plays is more important in most scenarios, but I guess a combination of both would be the best answer.

Before buying, you first see the game so you dont know how it plays. If it looks good, Im interested.

^ Exactly. Games are not movies. Of course everyone should be answering how it plays. It's all about that, I mean... they are videogames, not pictures/paintings/movies
