Best Adventure Games...

I love to play adventure games... hell even bought a new AGP card (6800 GT)

But have not played any games... (guess I'm not, that big a gamer...)

Anyways last game I really adored and had a blast was "Prince of persia" (all three parts)

So please recommend me some games that are more or less like POP, advenure types

Please... please... pretty please!!

Tomb Raider series are pretty puzzling but they are slow, I don't think you'd like them over or near Prince of Persia, yet you can give a go to Angel of Darkness and Legends (The last 2 parts of Lara Croft - Tomb Raider).

Some FPS games are pretty cool too, I like Halo: Combat Evolved and Half Life 2 the best among them all.

go for devil may cry 3
it is fast furios

T

The best adventure game i played are :-

1. Indigo Prophecy.
2. Tomb Raider :- Legends.
3. Broken Sword series.
4. Syberia series.

I recommed you to get those 4 game. They are great.

I agree. Broken sword is a amazing game. With so much puzzles.

u can't call POP, Tomb Raider, HL as Adventure game. Adventure games are mostly Point and click, no combat, lots of puzzle to solve and has a great story line. my favorites are:

Indigo Prophecy
CSI series
Still Life
Nancy Drew: Creature of Cappu cave
Nancy Drew: Last train to blue moon canyon
Longest Journey
Dreamfall
Keepsake
Secret Files
Return to the mysterious Island
Agatha Christey
Da vinchi's secrets
Syberia I, II
Atlantis

These are must play if you r crazy about adventure game like me

Go to some gaming site and read.

do not mix-up adventure games with RPG n Action-Adventure. these are 3 different gener.

Adventure is a genre of video games typified by exploration, puzzle-solving, interaction with game characters, and a focus on narrative rather than reflex-based challenges. The vast majority of adventure games are computer games, though console-based adventure games are not unheard of. Unlike many other game genres, the adventure genre's focus on story allows it to draw heavily from other narrative-based media, such as literature and film. Adventure games encompass a wide variety of literary genres, including fantasy, science fiction, mystery, horror, and comedy. Notable adventure games include Zork, King's Quest, The Secret of Monkey Island, Gabriel Knight, and Myst. Most adventure games are designed for a single player, since the heavy emphasis on story and character makes multi-player design difficult.

A role-playing game (RPG, often roleplaying game) is a type of game in which the participants assume the roles of fictional characters and collaboratively create or follow stories. Participants determine the actions of their characters based on their characterization, and the actions succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines. Within the rules, players can improvise freely; their choices shape the direction and outcome of the games.

The term "action adventure" itself has become more generalized since its introduction, and can now be used to refer to virtually any game which combines elements of real-time action-based challenges with some element of problem-solving. The genre exists largely to distinguish these games from pure adventure games, or from role playing games. It should be noted that adventure games never have a pronounced action element, limiting the action-based challenges to mini-games or other brief sequences. RPGs by definition have elements of pen and paper role playing games, such as "experience points" and other statistic-driven gameplay. Games like The Legend of Zelda are better classified as Action-Adventure because of this.

Due to the lack of a definition of the term of Action-Adventure (although it may be considered a game that contains elements of both genres on assumption) there are quite a few disagreements in the community and in the media over what actually constitutes an Action-Adventure game. One definition of the term "Action Adventure" may be '“An Action/Adventure game is a game that has enough action in it not to be called an Adventure game, but not enough action to be called an Action game.”'[1]Despite this, disagreements over which games fit under the categories [2][3] are particularly prominent in articles over the internet and media. Some people consider Action Adventure to have a free roaming feel, but at the same time unlike RPG's can fight enemies and so on, on screen.

M

i played till df 4 only

You must try out Indigo Prophecy and Dreamfall: The longest journey. Both are amazing adventure games.

C

Try out Indiana Jones series...they are one of the best adventure games.

Forgot " F A R -- C R Y" u guys ?????????

Far Cry is an FPS, it doesnt fall in the Adventure Games category...

T

Sad to see that the gamers are not aware on what genre they are playing. Now i can imagine why gaming did not hit india.

Because Most of the so called "Gamers" just play Game, they don't have any idea about games or don't have any interest in games. just handful people are Are passionate about game (like me :grin:

)

What adventure game should I play if I haven't played one before?

my first adventure game was 'Return to mysterious Island'. After playing this game I got Addicted to Adventure game. I've given a must play adventure game list before. just pick one...

dont classify games to be adventurous...FPS...RPG...and all......

real thing is -"enjoy playing the game to the fullest extent".......be it of whatever the class it may be......

i found Far Cry to be adventurous..so said it....

Sorry to say... You are totally wrong.

@thunderbird.117 - I play what has a good storyline. I dont give a damn about genre. It has story, it has good reviews, it has multiplayer, its in my Shopping Cart. Seriously, why the hell does genre even matter? It matters a bit while choosing MMORPG or Multi-Player specific games but else... Explain please, am just not clear why you consider genre in games so important. Its a necessity in music and in movies but games...

@possible, i totally agree with you....

@thunderbird.....please provide me with with one reasonable statement as to why gaming did not hit India bcoz of gamers not knowing about the genres......

both of these, by far, have no link between them......

A genre is important not because of the game storyline. A genre is mainly important to game developers. Other than game developers people like you wont care because you want to play all the game which has good graphics and storyline.

Before a game is created the developers draw a sketch on which genre they should focus on. If it is a RTS. The developers will draw on what mechanics the game should have. For instance Coh has Terrority capture where you have to fight for each terrority to gain access to tech and resource. I can keep going on this. The most importantly will you understand.

A genre is important for me because i need to clasiff which game it belong. Genre is like a category.

Also try to imagine a game without genre. Ok?. You feel the pain when there is no genre.

Knowing a genre of a game is basic knowledge. When a gamer does not know which genre is he/she is playing. It is a knowledge wasted and most important a shame. If you dont believe go to contries like USA or developed countries and tell them you dont know what genre you will be a laughing stock.

Seriously you believe gaming has hit india?. Who told you that?. Newspaper?. Playing just CounterStrike is not a big thing and certainly not going to improve indian gaming culture.

Also india lack proper facility like bandwidth,power and genre players.

Well said thunderbird
But dont typify all Indian Gamers
There are some who will give any Usa gamer the run for their gaming knowledge
( but most as u said are......)

@ possible : Well people like u only say ( when encountering a RTS instead of a FPS) "How come the people there are so small??" :lol:

Back to the topic

If u wanna a modern day adventure

try
1)Indigo Prophecy a.k.a Fahrenheit
2)Dreamfall

For old skool

1) Monkey island series
2) Grim Fandango
3) Space Quest, King's Quest

Who was talking about not knowing what a genre is. I know genre is like a category and games do have to be categorized. Plus you do know what kind of game you are playing obviously, having played a lot of games so far. What I asked is why you relate it to the gaming popularity rise. Its not as if not knowing genres don't sell games. Its like you want a bowler and a batsman, but never an all-rounder. I know multi-player has yet to pick up in India and you at most can blame it on piracy people do that disables them to play over the official game servers. And the unofficial ones aren't so popular to be frank. The point is, I never did talk about not knowing genre, I was talking about why you feel it to be so important to the gaming world that it can make you say its the reason why India lags at gaming. ( Though thats a bit literal sometimes :))

)

@Darthvader - I know explaining jokes can destroy its effect but can you please do that? I didn't understand it, heh.

Well what thunder said is that if u do some thing u shud require minimum knowledge abt it.

See if u dont know GENRES , not their names but their basic premise ( which u do know, it seems ) , u will never know which games u like.

say if u like adventure games but know nothing about genres, and go to buy a game and it is written over there FPS , u purchase it seeing the screenshots which do not reveal the actual stuff.

And then u go home and are disappointed , waste of money haanh!!!

Mwhaha, I read IGN and other sites for the same reason.
