Project 5: Week 1

This week I played a game called Re-Mission: Nanobot’s Revenge. I was able to download this game from the apple store. The purpose of this game is to illustrate real life treatments used to fight cancer. My mission was to fire targeted treatments at the growing tumors in order to prevent them from entering the blood stream. This game was very fun yet educational. I love the fact that I never got bored from playing it. I felt like I was completing an actual mission. It felt as though I was actually saving someone’s life. I enjoyed the fact that the game showed a picture of the human body that pointed out the location of the different organs. Even when I had to defeat the tumors, the battlefield was a real life bloodstream. I give this game two thumbs up. I enjoyed every aspect of it.
