So I’m the kind of girl that really doesn’t care much for video games, yea I think their fun to play once in a while but don’t get completely hooked on them like others do. One thing I did notice about video games well some in particular is the area of space in the game. Space as in how real the game is, does it have limits? For example like only being able to play in one single area? Or can you go walking in the game to different worlds, time, or dimensions. Space in a game I find most fascinating something I as a game player never played much attention too. So what I’m going to do here is analyze how space is used in video games determining what makes videogames limitless and what puts boundaries on a game. The game Im going to use for this is a game for PSP called Star Wars Battlefront Renegade Squadron.

The background of this game is based on the series of movies of Star Wars. What’s going on in the game is that there is war going on and you have to beat the bad guys which in this case would be Dark Vader’s guys and the goal is to defeat them in battle and kill of as many team members as possible from the bad guys until they flee the planet. The goal is to obtain metals and planets and defeat the enemy; defeat Dark Vader and his forces. So now join me as we walk inside this virtual world see where it takes us and understand the meaning of space in the game, Its limits and all.


The main thing to do in this game is to kill tour enemy before they kill you. So when you first begin the game you get to choose what world you want to start in. So right there its your choice where to begin you can start on land on a planet or even in open space. The limit is the number of planets. But now let’s dig a little deeper, so I began in a battle in the actual space in the sky. So I’m in my ship and as o float through space killing my enemies I can go anywhere I want its limitless my ship can go on in one direction and all it is are continuing stars. This make the game seem as if the player is traveling through real open space. But one thing that acts as a limit here is your commander as you continue on the further you go from your battle the main commander starts announcing that you are fleeing the battle but nothing really happens you just get that constant voice saying to go back to the battle that you are fleeing. Here is a video of the battle going on in space here you can see how the stars just go on and on and on and you can see how you as the player can pick any world you want to begin in.




Throughout the game you also have little mini missions some involving capturing the other teams flag and whoever gets the 3 main flags of the opposing team 1st wins so once again you would pick any world you want and just begin the limits to this mission is that u have to do what’s told collect the flags in that certain world and sometimes the world isn’t very big, it might seem like you’re going somewhere but you’re really not, you are just going in circles and that kind of sucks also sometimes when you encounter mountains and buildings you cant go through them or around them they just finish. Here’s some game play of the type of mission I’m talking about the obstacles and series of events you go through.





Another option you get as the game player is you get to choice what kind of guns armor and special abilities you can get. The people who produced the game put these options in to give the player a sense of unlimited access and control throughout the game you can change your guns and use different weapon you can also use different shields and change different amounts of strength to your character for example how fast you want to run there’s three levels this here is a limitless option given to the game player. Here is an example of the different weapons you can you of coarse there’s much more but here’s a glance at some.



Overall space in videos games has it perks you can some more advanced video games have more and some have less in this particular game it tends to have a little less space to explore but what I’ve analyzed of it is good I got to really understand what a big role limitless space plays in video games without not kind of unlimited space in games it would be just boring and simple not fun or realistic so space is the key to games.
