A Flash Game vs Guitar Hero

Well we are supposed to compare our favorite flash game to our favorite game on a console... So I guess I will do that. But I really don't have a favorite flash game...so I sorta have a dilemma. But I guess I do have a favorite "console game." That would have to be Guitar Hero. So I'll write about that for now until I determine what my favorite flash game can be. I don't really play flash games all too often. I played one here at school once called I Love Traffic. I kinda liked it...but it was very frustrating at times. So for my two games I will compare Guitar Hero and I Love Traffic.

I am not sure if I should count the preceding paragraph as one of the three paragraphs we were assigned to write. I didn't really compare the two games so I think I'll just disregard it... And I'm not too sure if this is supposed to be formal or informal? I feel as if everything should be well developed and all my thoughts completed... I don't know, maybe I've just had too much of Mr. Smead.

Okay let's disregard that paragraph too.

The two games I am going to compare are Guitar Hero and I Love Traffic. Both games are extremely different, not only referring to the objective, but also the graphics, controls, and animation. The objective of Guitar Hero is to master a number of songs on a certain difficulty. The objective of I Love Traffic is to direct a number of vehicles through traffic lights without causing any collisions or traffic jams.

So as anyone can see, the objectives are nothing alike at all. The controls are also nothing alike, seeing as I Love Traffic is a computer game and Guitar Hero is a PlayStation 3 game (for me at least). I guess the arrow keys are similar though... So I shouldn't write it off completely although everything is else is entirely different.

And last, the animations and graphics. Of course the graphics are nothing alike, seeing as I Love Traffic features cars, trucks, buses, and ambulances, while Guitar Hero features a scrolling fret board containing notes while a band plays in the background. Guitar Hero is going to be much more advanced as anyone would assume, but I Love Traffic is not the easiest either. Both games have levels that become increasingly difficult as the player advances through the game but I think that is about as much as I can come up with for now about this topic. Until next time...
