Review on Port of the Future Serious Game by Sean Powers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Using Serious Games for Sustainability & Education

I like how it is interactive with questions you can answer during gameplay versus just watching videos or reading text.

It was interesting to see what different countries did differently when designing their facilities/infrastructure before building them out themselves. There were some things from past games we have seen which they didn't include this time around (e.g., new design criteria) - this could be because it's been awhile since those other projects occurred! Overall good experience though. We're trying to get our students interested about sustainability issues by using serious gaming technology within an educational framework.

Pros
  • Players are able choose paths through levels where certain choices will result in more points than others but at times may lead into dead ends if not followed correctly along its path; so there’s opportunity here both visually AND narratively speaking..the two feed off eachother very nicely together
Cons
  • Not bad
