Which Do You Enjoy Most: Playing as Yourself or Playing a Given Character?

An example of this is the games Just Cause and The Godfather. I enjoyed most in The Godfather game because I made the character look like me and it gave me the feeling of portraying the role of the game itself.

So which type of feature do you guys prefer?

I don't like a game with no customizations at all. I prefer to be myself but :) I like more muscles. I like to make my character taller. I like a long shiny hair. I like all my clothes to be made by Nike and Le Bron and Carmelo Anthony.

Well considering it's really only RPG's and Sandbox games that have customization (Rock Band too) it's hard to say. I like the chance to make my own character but in the end I don't care much either way.grunt1096

I wish GH 3 has customizations. Honestly I play in GH 3 as the skeleton guy. I don't look like any of the given characters. At least I look like the skeleton guy when I get burned by napalm.

I really don't care. I sometimes like to play the character I am given. Like in Mass Effect, the default male Shepard looked awesome. I would like to customize over characters that aren't awesome and bad*ss. Captain Price and Gaz were awesome characters in COD4 and I would have not customize over them if I had the ability to.

Yes I loved what the characters of COD 4 looked like. They resemble soldiers of real life. If only COD 4 was 3rd person we could customize our own character in COD 4. I like my COD 4 to be younger and short and has a beard. Not too be so that I can crawl on grass without anyone noticing me.

I like to have my own character if you're also shaping the personaility throughout the game (example: Mass Effect), but don't care if it's a shooter like COD4 or Halo 3.TwiztidJoker

I like to play with myself........as a character in the game.sk8jim

I enjoy skateboard games where you can create your skater and put on great kicks and wicked decks.

I like playing as myself (my Saints Row guy's likeness is creepy), but I think I prefer the in-game characters that look all shiny and nice, even though I'm pissed if you change your weapons or accessories and can't see the changes.

What are the other Xbox 360 games which have full customization?Cii-Lence
