Game replayability.

[cingchris]

Are you able to replay a game when you beat it, and if so why? What makes a game replayable?

Me personally, I can't really come back to a game when I've already beaten it, I just find it boring because if the game is driven by a story I already know it and don't really want to experience the same story twice. Now when I am able to replay a game it's usually because it has a simple concept and it's not really set in stone what you're supposed to do, (games like the Super Smash Bros. series for example) or when they offer new and more challenging modes. (and I'm talking about a difficulty change [although I have replayed games on the hardest difficulty on my Xbox but that's mostly due to achievement hunting] I'm talking about actually adding something to the game to make it harder by changing the gameplay in some way)
