Hi, if I were a developer making such decision, I would determine by the genre and the intended complexity of the game. IN fact, I plan to do something like this in my future games. For example such different endings would not really fit a game like say Monkey Business (the story is somewhat straightforward and always the same) in my opinion, whereas it would be a cool feature of Shades of Doom or GMA Tank Commander or even Super Liam (if it wasn'T gonna be continued). This is just my point of view. What Tom does with Monty is completely up to him though. :-) Best wishes, Lukas ----- Original Message ----- From: "ari" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2006 9:57 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Monty review feature.
