Reviewing a game that has a “story” without finishing it is like reviewing a book or a movie without finishing them. I know that some RPGs and adventure games start slow and and get gradually more exciting (or boring), but my opinion is that to make a good review you have to “watch” the whole thing.

Take Half-Life 2, for instance. I mean, the only suspenseful part (for me at least) was the ending in the Citadel. I won’t go any further, in case I ruin the storyline for people who haven’t played it, but those who have know what I mean. ;)

Fighting game, shooter, puzzle, racing games, sports games, not so much. But RPG’s and RTS’s really can become rather pathetic, or really great. Besides, I love RPG’s but there are a bunch I can’t stand.
