Exercise 2.8: Story

What do you love about your favorite game? Is it the challenge? The conflict? In most cases, one of the most loved parts of a game is the story. A good story is one of the first things that grips a player. It may be why someone would purchase a game before they ever play it.

One game that had a very emotionally gripping story is Super Mario Bros. The story is that a princess was captured by a team of monsters, and only Mario and Luigi can save her. The players control Mario and Luigi, and only they can save the princess.

This story is very emotionally gripping because the player becomes very attached to Mario, Luigi, and the princess. They deeply want to help save the princess and defeat the monster. This game is not the most challenging, so the story is very important to keeping the player interested. Without the story, there would be no game.
