The author initiates this argument by stating how some factors in many video games are erroneous; this includes lasers, which should be invisible, and the inaccurate speed measurements in racing games. Poole refutes this viewpoint by saying that changing a game to make it realistic would remove the fun experienced by gamers; some aspects of a video game are made unreal on purpose. These imaginary factors serve to create a fantasy world which is to be enjoyed by the player. Also included are the game developers’ intentional use of deformed characters, with smaller bodies and larger heads. For example, Poole explains how intentionally deformed characters such as Crash Bandicoot and Sonic the Hedgehog have engaged players successfully, while more realistic characters such as those of Final Fantasy VIII have received much criticism. The author believes that the reason for a player’s more successful engagement with deformed characters lies in the fact that cuter, unreal characters help the player to escape into the unreal world, while realistic characters fail to do so. Overall, unreal factors help to carry out the main purpose of a video game by engaging the player with the world, which in turn will cause the player to be engaged with the game
