Simulation video game

<p>Simulation video games are a diverse super-category of <a href="/facts/Video_game/vmTdNASJ">video games</a>, generally designed to closely simulate real world activities. A simulation game attempts to copy various activities from real life in the form of a game for various purposes such as <a href="/facts/Training/K6REWYIn">training</a>, analysis, prediction, or entertainment. Usually there are no strictly defined goals in the game, and the player is allowed to control a character or environment freely. Well-known examples are <a href="/facts/Military_exercise/xeqxTBut">war games</a>, <a href="/facts/Business_game/mGq0t77o">business games</a>, and <a href="/facts/Role_play_simulation/sod43K2s">role play simulation</a>. From three basic types of strategic, planning, and learning exercises: games, simulations, and case studies, a number of hybrids may be considered, including simulation games that are used as case studies. Comparisons of the merits of simulation games versus other teaching techniques have been carried out by many researchers and a number of comprehensive reviews have been published.
