Great Story

In this blog post I will be writing about 2 games, 1 that has a good story and then comparing it to a game that doesn't have a particularly good story. First off I will be writing about a game that I think has a particularly good story and that game it Fable 2. My reasons for choosing this game are firstly that the previous game before it called Fable was such a huge success in my opinion, the second game had to be up to the standard to what the first one was. Also another reason that I chose this game was because of the campaign, the campaign was very engrossing. At the start of the campaign you start off as either a orphan boy or girl and you must make your way through the slums of an old town and then work your way up by fighting terrible creatures in order to gain experience to level up and progress through the game and then eventually become the ruler of Albion. Another reason why this game's story was so good is that the game gives you the chance to make your own legacy for example if you make an evil decision then the 1 decision could impact on the whole world and then the same if you make a good decision.

Now I will be writing about a game that I personally didn't think the story was very good, that game is Left 4 Dead. My reasons for choosing this game was that there isn't much story to this game, it's very similar to other zombie horror games which the main aim is to just survive and get through the level. When playing through the game all you do is proceed through a level and then at certain points you get ambushed by a horde of zombies, also when playing through a level the story does get quite predictable in that you can tell when there's a horde of zombies about to decend onto you because of the music the game plays before, although every campaign is different and hordes spawn at different points in the game everytime you play, you can always tell what kind of monster is being spawned for example there's a soundtrack for each special infected so when a boomer is being spawned you hear a trumbone sound which indicates that a boomer is spawning.
