Hi Tom.
That is totially true about walkthroughs, and indeed something I'm more
familiar with myself. For years, ever since I first discovered the internet,
I have been using walkthrus instead of instruction manuals to provide access
to graphical games. For example, in the mega man games I read the
walkthroughs to find out about the weapons and items in the game (not to
mention the plot), and the structure of the menues, especially necessary in
games like mega man zero which have about 80 odd power up items per game to
collect not to mention a ful rpg script with dialogue.
None of this info however changed the fact that I still had to physically
and reflexively finish each game, heck, even knowing which weapons were most
affective against which enemy didn't, since the actual completion was left
up to me, which is another reason I've found such games so replayable.
You are exactly right like games like gma's have this sort of quality, just
because of the way the combat, navigation and enemy density works, and is
another reason something like shades is so replayable, since even when you
know all there is to know about the game, you still have to get there.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
