What is the most relaxing game you have ever played?

[2 Point]

DOAXBV. Beach. Choons. Sunsets.

Madden 2003. So satisfying to post that 50 yrd touchdown.

Saying that I prefer andrenalin pumping games, not relaxing at the time but the result is similar. Unless you can't nail that one perfect lap.........up.........all........night.

Animal Crossing.

I've found it to be a seriously efficient hangover cure. Just pop that in on a Sunday morning, and start off with a few solitary tasks like weeding & fishing. As the hangover wanes you feel ready to interact with people a little - maybe buy a few turnips off Joan, or visit the cop-shop for some lost & found. Once you're running errands for the neighbours, writing letters & buying rubbish from Nook, you know it's time to switch off and face the real world again.

Or make a cup of tea, bacon sarnie, and have a blast on something else.

My first choice would be Animal Crossing which I have seriously neglected, then Skating Board in Wario Ware it gets hypnotic.

Also in regards to fantavision they released another version with a VS mode in Japan, I saw it at my local Japanese supermarket bookstore.

Animal Crossing on Gamecube and Amped on XBOX.

I love playing snowboarding games with Elvis Rock and Roll music

OMG... How come no one has mentioned Densha De Go yet?

Jet De Go was really relaxing too on the Jap PSX.

My personal favourite is Real Train Simulator: Yamanote Line on the PS2.

Pure relaxing bliss is this game.

solstice 2, equinox on the snes, the music just calms me down......

Doshin The Giant
Animal Crossing

These 2 seem to be very laid back and relaxed the whole time. I give Doshin special pludits as someone said earlier - Good water effects can make a game relaxing.

Other games have relexing sections but aren't releaxing the entire game (some of the Islands/villages in Zelda being examples).

NOTHING can beat Fishing in Zelda OOT

Exactly - or playing the Ocarina at either Dusk or Dawn on Lon Lon Ranch.

Saying that I prefer andrenalin pumping games, not relaxing at the time but the result is similar.

Also very true, the satisfaction of boosting straight towards the finish line when you're a whole second or more ahead of the Staff Ghost is a feeling that is unrivalled. It lasts for days too, especially when you keep watching the replay.

Most relaxing game moment then would be when the girl at the lon lon ranch (forget her name) is singing Epona's Song with the moonlight glowing down.

Yeah, at the beginning of the game at the castle entrance when you have to go and wake her dad up. Classic memories.

playing in the water levels on mario 64

or animal crossing, I have often been so relaxed playing ac i have fallen asleep

[bluepuddy]

My most relaxing game at the moment is Rollercoaster Tycoon 2. Just sitting back watching my theme park blossom while just adding the odd new attraction here and there. I love it almost as much as I loved Settlers 2. Now there was a relaxing game so much so it put me to sleep..... more often than not.

[SuperBrother]

On a lazy Sunday afternoon, theres no such relaxment (if thats such a word) as playing Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003 on my XBox.

Me too until I got a dirty disc error on the 16th at Sawgrass when I was 4 under par...........................pretty damn far from relaxing!!

Shadow of Memories.

I remember curling up on the couch late at night, with a nice cup of hot chocolate, and settling down to play this game.
It was pretty much like watching a movie, only with some simple puzzles thrown in to make sure you were still paying attention.
I loved the plot, and also the way you could change your approach to playing the game once you'd gone through it the first time (and therefore knew what was going to happen in the future/past).

Ahh, if only a sequal were in the works..........
