This is really an unanswerable question, or should I say it's impossible to define. We can all look for deep philosophical answers or technical definitions but at the end of the day I personally feel that *gameplay* is simply how much a player enjoys a game. It's as simple as that. If I like playing a game then, to me, the gameplay is good. If another person doesn't like the same game then they will say that the gameplay is shit. Neither opinion is right or wrong. All these answers are really what each person looks for in a 'good' or 'bad' game. Surely, they're not definitions of what *gameplay* is, are they? Scott
