Beginner friendly games

Which games do you think have excellent gameplay and concentrate more on the fun from the gameplay and at the same time are beginner friendly and accessible. So if a perosn comes along who has never played a game in its series, he can start off the game easily witout any frustration.By frustration I mean the frustration resulting from a incomprehensible story or seemingly impossible controls etc.

And do you think these games are as described above:

Dead or Alive 4

Virtua Fighter 5 Online

Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion

Forza Motorsports 2

Ninja Gaiden II

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter I/II

Rainbow Six Vegas I/II

Call Of Duty 4.

The Elder Scrolls IV:Oblivion.

Street Fighter.

Civ.Rev.

Isnt Oblivion daunting and dont you ahve to build up your charchter before you start enjoying?

Well I tried the demo for Civ Rev today and I ahvent really played the past Civ games properly. The demo wasnt exactly accessible. I mean I just kept getting warrior uits and I had to move them. There wasnt any aim so to speak. No clue what was going on. Unless this game gets a very high rating, I dont think I will get it.

There is actually a LOT of advice in the actual game.

Actually, you're pretty godly even at the beginning of the game, but it depends on the difficulty it's in.

Vegas could give a new person some trouble.

Also even though it seems childish the Lego games (Star Wars and Indiana Jones) are a lot of fun and accessible to just about anyone.

Would someone please answer the questions in my first post? Just tell me if these games are easy to begin, understand and have fun wiht for beginners to the series (if applicable):

Bioshock

Halo 3

Dead or Alive 4

Virtua Fighter 5 Online

Ninja Gaiden II

Secondly (off topic) is Bioshock a horror game?

bioshock would probably be the easiest to understand or the fighting games

if your looking for a game about fun get viva pinata

Is Biochock scary/spoooky/thrilling/horror?greengloop

thanks. hmm I think I will just give the Bioshock demo a try but otehrwise I am going for Halo 3. Is halo 3 worth it I will not play online at all?greengloop

Dead or Alive 4 & Virtua Fighter 5 online - are fighting games & therefore are button mashers - NOT user friendly

Ninja Gaiden - is one of the most difficult games to play with a very confusing story - NOT user friendly

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter & Rainbow Six Vegas - FPS with action & a straight-forward story - user friendly

Forza Motorsport 2 - Racing game with cars from across the globe on several technical tracks - user friendly

Oblivion - a huge RPG with great story, action, graphics, weapons & easy controls - user friendly

HALO 3 - a FPS with a story that you can catch onto easily, also great game-play & easy controls - user friendly

Bioshock - a FPS with a slightly confusing but still good story, not really horror genre but has gore, with controls that are very easy to understand - user friendly

Yeah the games are for me. Well I am 16 right now havent done much of any serious gaming lately. I LOVED Gears fo War. I ahvent played the pvious Halo games completely. I did play the original Halo for Pc and didnt find it spectacular. It was alrigt.

xilermyth: err I am asking about beginner friendly.

Alright than, substitute all the "user" with beginner. That would make more sense know won't it?

I got the demo for Vegas. I didnt like it that much. I will ahve to play around with the controls maybe. I am going to try out GRAW as well soon.

I dont really care about stories lol. I want the gameplay. Som people criticized Gears that its story was too shallow. while that is true, its alright for me because the gameplay compensated.

I will borrow Halo 3 from my friend if he gets it. Otherwise let it go ormaybe get it once its discounted.

thanks :)

For now i ahve in mind:

Ace Combat 6

PGR 4

some tennis game

possibly Bioshock

borrowing Halo 3

Oblivion (unless its like Guild Wars:()

maybe assassins creed

Nearly every one of the games you've asked about has a playable demo on Xbox Live. Just download them and try them out. If they seem like you can play them, then buy the game. By asking people, you're getting very impersonal responses. People are just talking about how the game was when they played it. Checking them out for yourself is the only real way of knowing if they're right for you.

Vegas could give a new person some trouble.

Both Virtua Fighter 5 and Ninja Gaiden 2 are some of the most hardcore games ever created, so no, they're not for beginners, however, Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3 are pretty easy to understand, have great replay value andearned many awards, stay away from Bioshock, it sucks bad, as for Dead or Alive 4 i cant say, havent played it yet, but if you're thinking of giving it to a kid, or playing it with kids, it has a lot of parcial nudity and sexual themes, also though Oblivion is a great game, its not for casual gamers, it took me more than 100 hours to fully understand it.

I would also recommend you to download Geometry Wars from the Xbox Live Marketplace, see the demo, if you like it then buy it, its really addictive but its fairly simple too.

yeah i mgiht get gta iv but my parents might be a problem. As I have a PAL xbox, I will ahve to get a PAL gta and GTA is banned in my country lol so if my dad goes to europe i might aks him to get it form there IF he feels its alright for me to play sucha game and by that time i will old as well almost 18.greengloop

If you like the free roaming games then I would also recommend Crackdown. Yeah it's kinda old but the gameplay is still solid and its just fun to go jumping around the city killing bad guys, you could also pick it up for pretty cheap too I would say about 20 bucks at the very most more likely around $15.
