1. Sam Fisher -- Doesn't his face have "buy my game" written all over it?

Sam Fisher

And when his pretty face isn't showing, it's completely covered...

Fisher 2

The Mass Effect Man -- I'm sorry, are you related to Sam Fisher?

ME

Ryu Hayabusa -- Again, we can't really see your face and/or hair....

ryu

Master Chief -- You don't really even have a face do you?

halo

Marcus Fenix -- Sam Fisher/Mass Effect Man in his 50s...and with...is that a du-rag?

marcus

Wayne (Lost Planet) -- Is...that Sam Fisher in snow gear!?

lost planet

I'm starting to think that you could take Sam Fisher, and dress him up in whatever suit and/or mask, and have him star in a completly new game. Hell, he is probably Master Chief.

Lost Odyssey dude (starts with a K...hmm) -- Well...at least you're different...

lo

I really don't know what I'm trying to say here, I just kind of realized that all the Xbox game's protagonists are incredibly dull looking. They all looks like everyday people and/or don't have faces at all. Just kind of boring IMO.

I don't think that PS3 has interesting looking characters either. Remember though, when you are playing a video game you don't want to be represented as a dwarf Italian plumber.

It's uninteresting because you cant see their face? Also, the Mass Effect character's face is customizable. I think Ryu, the Chief, and Sam Fisher's getup look awesome. But it's all opinion anyway.

For me a characters background story>looks. Call me crazy, but I prefer to see a normal looking adult be a protagonist than a kid dressed up like he should belong in a gay parade with huge spikes in his hair or something.

Really? I find that the Playstation games have drastically different looking characters...Besides the dude from Resistance -- he IS Sam Fisher...

Because that face is the typical american soldier bad @$$ rambo look alike. So all of them will look alike. It's also known as stereotype. And in countries like japan, it's a skinny tall guy who looks as pretty as a girl does, with long hair to match.

See the stereotypes don't escape the gaming industry.

The bald Sam Fisher is definately one dull looking dude. At least the hair and goggles kept him moderately cool looking.

Well this isn't really a bash -- it's all in good humour. But it's just something I thought up of that held a little bit of truth.

You make your own character on mass effect. Hayabusa is also a legend of a man. I'd love for you to throw Kratos or Mario out there and tell me they have the faces of deep-rooted, well-rounded personalities.

Truth. The personality is not always dictated by the face but the attire and actions the character.
