Online Flash Games compared to Full Version Downloadable Games

Let us consider online flash games – something people pay too little attention to. It’s true that the majority of these free games may not have the same quality of graphics or game play of the full version or downloadable games. But a lot of the free games still have an addictive quality to them and they are fun to play. Originality can still be found with many of them as well.
I still feel that these flash games will struggle to achieve the display or game play depth of downloadable games. Free Flash games will probably never reach the level of that you will do with a title like Half-Life 2, where you can virtually do anything and life imitates the real world around you. Who knows what is around the corner though? Maybe flash games will catch up?
Another shortfall with flash games vs. full production games is voice acting. There is that odd game out there with great voice acting, but they are hard to find. There is really only one feature where flash games and costly full production games are on the same playing field: Plot. Many games that are costly have hundreds of staff members working on them. Simple flash games can have the same quality plots without the cost.
Many flash games have creative, great quality plots. This is probably because the person creating the flash game doesn’t worry about complex things like “What plot should I create for a hunting game?” or “Will I offend anyone with this plot?” With flash games, the developer just has to reach into their creative world and develop a plot that can be as crazy as they are themselves. The plot can be scary, funny, or just plain different. Creativity can be a wonderful thing – think about how many cartoons, TV shows, and games have been developed by being incredibly creative?
So think about this dear reader – what is your favourite flash game? How about your favourite fantasy world? Or your favourite heroes, villains, characters? What about your favourite theme? Is it nasty medieval Dragons vs. Humans, or scary Aliens vs. Humans? Maybe it’s two separate races fighting for control of the humans?
As you think about your favourite themes, be as creative as you can. Think of how you would introduce new characters, new plots and new ideas. Have a wonderful day and continue to enjoy the great hobby of gaming!
