Videogame Mechanique

Your homework for this week is:

Play a game. Explain how the mechanics of the game relate to the overall gameplay experience. Remember, mechanics are a number of aspects; how do you 'play' the game? What are the objectives? How do you receive information from the game? How do you interact with the game? How do the controls add to the game experience? If you have the room, theorize how the use of other sensory input (haptics) would alter the gameplay experience.
