Gaming Highest "Lasting Appeal" game.

[Kirito]

Puzzle games are something I find myself going back to the most often, because it's easy to just pop and and play for a while. In that vein Picross DS and Meteos are awesome. Picross has some infuriatingly hard puzzles at the end, but I keep coming back to try and finish them all. I've also sunk more time than I'd like to admit into Animal Crossing. And then of course there's the common ones -- Mario Kart, Mario Party, Pokemon Platinum.

I've gotta say Zelda OoT.

That game has the highest replay value of any of the games I've played, I must've beat it from start to finish at least 10 times

I'd just want to point out it seems many of you are just posting games you like. It's about what games last the longest.

Anyway, my definition of lasting appeal is how many man hours you can put into a game until it either ends or looses it's fun.

Maybe not DS wise, but these lasted me a while:

- Mario Kart Wii (probably played it hardcore for 3 weeks)
- The Conduit (probably played hardcore for about 2 weeks)
- Modern Warfare: Reflex (I've been playing it on and off, but it's addicting and I can definitely see myself getting into it).

Here are the games i like:1.Ace Attorney series 2.Professor Layton series 3.Hotel Dusk.I like story oriented games and these games have fantastic stories imo.

you obviously don't understand the idea of the thread putting those games

"Lasting appeal" is pretty ambiguous.
It could mean replay value, which those games obviously don't have, but it could also refer to the lasting impact that the story had on you. I don't think any of us could forget the stories told by those games.

just as demon said by lasting appeal i thought about those games that left a lasting impression on my mind.so please forgive me for misunderstanding thd concept.

Puzzle Quest: CotW: Not my favorite game, but it's spent the most time on my card...and I've played it regularly the whole time -- two years and counting.

Same here. So much replay value. I just wish that there were more save slots.

In terms of play time it would be pokemon pearl for me.

 

[omgpwn666]

Same here. The game is just too damn addicting. It'll literally turn most people borderline anerexic (or however the fuck it's spelled) for a few days.

Jump Ultimate Stars for me. I've played that game so much, easily over 500 hours. Pokemon is also pretty long lasting, i've probably spent about 400 hours on the DS ones.

Game with the longest play value: maybe FFTA2? Really hours and hours and hours for one playthrough.

Game that you can keep coming back to again and again for continued fun? Several, but of those that haven't been mentioned, I'd say:

Scrabble
NYT Crosswords

 

[ericling]

I feel Air Traffic Chaos is quite addictive too..
But sometimes,it is quite hard for newbie :S

 

[Taik]

I'd say New Super Mario Bros (the mini games with a friend are just awesome and the solo adventure is quite long IMO) or The World Ends With You, this game is the Monster Hunter for the DS

 

[Demonbart]

For me, obviously pokemon diamond (over 350 hours and counting), Metroid prime hunters, mario kart ds and mario 64 ds.

 

[Veristical Blaze]

TWEWY and N+

 

[ZonMachi]

For me Phoenix Wright I mean who doesn't know OBJECTION!
