[mm/teen] Serious Games
The game that I played was Hurricane Katrina Tempest In Crescent City. The different ways that the game represented information about the issue was by showing a family that moved from New Orleans to New York and by showing images of houses, streets, water, people screaming for help. Things that make my game different from documentary, news article, photograph, radio story, or other form of media are that I'm the one who being effected from the hurricane, I'm the one who take action in the game to save people and my mother.
I used experimentation in order to figure out how to succeed in the game by reading instructions how to play the game and by failing one time then after I know how to succeed. I couldn't get to the next level so I die at the first time then I realize that you have to talk to people get information and don't let any material hit you.
The game's point of view was to illustrate how you could help people who have being affected by Hurricane katrina.
Things in general that make my game different from a documentary are that my game is experimentation its is a form of problem that they create and that you could solve the problem on your own.
