thank you for the suggestion and link kiwi .. I think the only thing that stops me is the not knowing how to play any game ... ie: which button does what ... I'd be "dead" in under 6 seconds lol .. I like the auto theft game ( ? ) graphics .. I may be a better driver than I would be a jedi
Here where I am during winter I agree playing something like that would kill some time .. there's only so much time spent outside when it's 15o and snow is waist high .. finding anything new that's funny on TV is a difficult quest sometimes
You'll get to play around with the buttons (or controls, if you're playing it on a console) a fair bit before you get into any fights where you could be killed. The game isn't really hard except for a couple of boss fights later on and the buttons/controls are very easy anyway. You play it more for the experience - going to different worlds, doing tons of side quests and you end up becoming a Jedi master or a Sith lord depending on whether you do good stuff or just kill and loot everyone you see, lol.
And yes, it's a great alternate to TV. Give it a try if you can, you'll love it.
