Biggest *system* game of the year

[Quall999]

Well, somebody suggested that it would be a good topic, and I agree. There are a number of great and very popular games coming to the current game consoles. Splinter cell, gta:sa, halo 2, etc...

Based on hype, media, and your opinion on gameplay, which game will be the best selling game of this year. This is not a console war, talk games and gameplay, not system specs and graphics (even though graphics are important to some, the most anticipated games will push the consoles to their limits in that department, so it is a given).


Personally I think it will be between halo 2 and gta:sa; hits off of what seem to be the biggest selling games for their console. Over all though, I would prefer halo 2 and think that it will sell the most. The first game got me liking the fps genre again (after PD on the n64, and Time splitters for the ps2 way back when, i kind of got bored of all fps's). With the new online capabilities and customizable features, I will be sure to be one of the first to get it opening day. I will probably end up getting san andreas though, but not as soon as it comes out. When I got Vice City, it was fun. After 2 weeks or so though, i got really bored of it. I played the first one to death, so the second was only really fun for the new missions and purchasing. Free roaming lost its zing to me.

I find myself going back to halo1 alot though. I think that game has the best ai out of an fps on any console. With difficulty, the enimies just don't aim better and have more health. They actually dodge, hide, run away when approached, attack differently when approched. This is the reason why I think halo 2 will be the top selling of this year. Halo 1 was short enouph to keep you wanting more, but not too long to make you lose interest.
