I've noticed that there are certain games that I keep playing even after playing them before. I believe it's a combination of what I can see and what I can do in these games that makes me come back to them.
Since it's on my mind, I'll use the example of Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City (a great deal for an M-rated game). You can do so many things, like doing a 360 (or 720) rotation on a motorcycle, fly around on a military helicopter, and just crash into things with a vehicle. While flying or even driving around, you can appreciate the realistic splendor of Liberty City, though some graphics may take a while to load.
Another game I appreciate is Super Mario Galaxy 2. This one greatly improves on its predecessor by making things quicker, such as not having to go to domes. When it comes to what Mario can do, it's the same Mario 64 formula with the star spin. It's engaging, and the obstacles are varied. In every galaxy, you find launch stars, and that's where the "what I can see" aspect shines. It's exhilarating to see Mario blast off from planet to planet at 100 miles/hour.
