    Conditions that may be the reason I restart a game:
    1. I played through it without doing everything at first, just to see the cinematics.
    2. I feel like totally annihilating the AI by using a cheat device (Gameshark, Codebreaker, etc...).
    3. I haven't played the game in a while.
    4. I suddenly got an urge to do so.
    5. I abandoned a previous file/game/save (whatever you wanna' call it) so long that I forgot what I was doing.
    6. I feel like watching the cutscenes and/or fighting bosses again, because some of them are pretty cool (Dragon Ball Z: Budokai, Kingdom Hearts, Metal Gear Solid, etc...).

    I do. I mean, otherwise, why buy the game? I mean a single play through in rental charges in most cases costs far less than buying, so if you're just gonna play it once, just rent it.

    I play a game through again if I get a hankering for it.

    Many thanks Christmas!

    Only when completely neccessary. Like in FF8, I was going to beat a certain person at the end of the first disc (k? or c?), but I relied on my GFs WAY too much throughout my game, and was doing about 300-400 damage. I'm surprised I got away with going through almost the whole game like that. So I was pretty much screwed. *Erase file*. My second play-through was much better, as I really understood what I was doing then.

    I'm sure I've done it again, with another game, but I don't feel like thinking back.

    I always replay games. Right now I'm playing Metal Gear Solid 2 once through each difficulty setting *shutters at hard mode*

    The video game I've restarted the most is...

    *begin drum roll*

    *end stupid and unnecessary drum roll*

    The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time!!
    Why? Mainly, because the boss battles are AWESOME. If only it was like The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask, where you could refight the bosses as many times as you wanted (also, too bad the bosses in MM weren't as good as the ones in OOT).

    i never restart a game, Ive gotta finish it, like legend of Legaia, I started playing it about 3/4 yrs ago, got to a boss I couldnt defeat. Didnt play the game for a year, then carried on, I eventually completed it but it took about 2/3 years, cos I kept stoppin for long peroids of time. I did 4got the storyline and controls and what some things did but remembered after a while of playin it again.......I dont think ive ever restarted a game.

    I've completed FF VII, VIII, IX and X numerous times.

    I don't usually bother replaying any other type of game.

    That reminds me. I've replayed Morrowind millions. Although I really only have one character that I'm actually getting anywhere with. It gets fairly boring doing the same quests over and over again, only with a different person, with different abilities. *sigh*.
