Nahin's-Game-Analysis

The game I chose is the McDonalds Game. This game is about running the McDonald's fast food business and earning as much money as possible. The game is made to mock the company. You can see this with the "evil" Ronald McDonald and the way they show how the process of the food is made. They give you several jobs; like keep the soy fields running, pumping hormones into the cows, slaughtering the cows, making sure the kitchen is running, keep customers coming, and keep the bosses happy. When playing the game, the player must balance all the jobs. If the player does well on one part of the job, they will do well on the others. If they do poorly on one job and spend lots of money on one part, the compan will immediatley go into bankrupcy and the player will do poorly on the other parts. So it's all about balance. A player would be compelled to play this game and continue to play the game because the game challenges you. It's not eay handling more than one job at once, so it's a chalenge, and everyone loves a challenge. So when someone loses, they feel "incomplete" so they continue playing until they feel accomplishd. So, it's a risk everyone is willing to take. Mollelndustria,.

4. 19.10- The game I chose this time was Ayiti: Cost of Life. This game lets the player be responsible for a Haitian family and the player must provide the family with a well educated and decent family life. You are tested by putting your family through 4 parts of one year, a hurricane season, dry season, rain season, and summer season. You are put throught four years, meaning you have to survive sixteen seasons. In the game, you have four family members, and you must either keep them at home, or put them at work or at school. You must make sure that they earn enough money, they don't get any diseases, and they become well educated. If they are working too hard, you are given the option to make them work harder or easier. The main objective is to let the family not be stressed and not drive them to poverty, but give them a happy, decent, and educated life while being tested with hard and tough times. It is about balance and thinking. The reason people are compelled to play this game is because a player feels accomplished when they help a family and feel like they can be responsible for someone's life. Also, it is a great challenge. This game isn't 1-2-3 I WIN easy. It's very tough, and you keep playing until you feel accomplished. Krista.
