2 Read a blog about a new fantasy
computer game and answer the
questions.
The new computer game called The World Is
What You Make It is both very imaginative but
also realistic. It is realistic because the player
faces a range of decisions, and the choices
made determine the next stage of the game
and the sort of problems and difficulties the
player will face. In this way, the game is rather
like real life because the decisions and actions
you or I make or do affect what we face in our
lives. It's clever because, although the
situations are fantasy situations with fantasy
characters, the dangers and rewards that go
with decisions fit with real life. The way you
choose to deal with a problem and the result it
has would change you because of what you
did. So, the game can help players learn how
to think through options carefully before
acting. The people who made the game did a
lot of research into how people think. You
should buy the game – it makes you think, it is
fun, and it has excellent graphics.
How is The World Is What You Make It described?
It is described as both imaginative and realistic.
