Easiest Game Ever

Postby Thoul » Fri Feb 13, '09, 4:36 am

In your opinion, what is the easiest video game you've ever completed from start to finish? How long did it take you to run through it the first time?

For me, it's the first Contra. I was able to get through it in half an hour the first time I played.

I don't really know there are quite a few easy games I have played. Probably Donkey Kong once you can time the barrel jumps your laughing then.

Try playing it without the 30 lives code.

Hmmm...there are a lot I found easy. Like...really, I didn't find Okami all THAT challenging, but the first time I played it I logged over 70 hours because of how much I enjoy running around freely in that game's beautiful environments. I don't know.

I'm torn between Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (low difficulty) and Albert Odyssey (depressingly short). I finished them both in a weekend apiece with the same "that's it?!" look on my face.

Kirby 64. It was enjoyable, but very easy.

Two games that I can think of that I recently played:

Golden Sun (GBA) - Simply spam your Djinni summons every fight and you're pretty much unstoppable. You'll only need to stop for a round or so to heal against the bosses. Doing this also makes the game incredibly boring. I thought Golden Sun was absolute crap.

God of War: Chains of Olympus - Incredibly easy game, but it's still tons of fun.


The hardest game I've ever played is without a doubt Smash TV.

Well there was this game made by Doritos[I'm not joking] and you either play a dinosaur who has to eat dorito's trucks or play a delivery driver escaping the dino. I finished the whole thing in about 30 min.

If that makes the game boring, then just don't do that. The game never forces you to spam the summons, that's just how you chose to play it. There are plenty of other attacks and strategies you can use.

The point is that it's a broken system, and the devs should have seen this before releasing the game. Yeah I'm sure I could have done standard attacks every round, but then the battles would have been much longer than they already were. Golden Sun also has quite possibly the worst story I've ever seen in an RPG and the most mundane dialogue as well.
