3	That one sentence repeated over and over wouldn't make you want to view this page, would it? It's the same with video games - the same thing over and over gets boring after a while. Basically, replay value is how fun a game is after you've beaten it - either by starting a new game or by continuing the game after you've completed the main objective of it. Replay value is one of those things that reviewers (and players) look for in a game, so developers will usually try to squeeze as much replay value into a game as they can.

5	This can be done in several ways:
6
7	* ScoringPoints
8	* SpeedRun
9	* Adding [[StoryBranching branches in a game]] to make it less linear, so you can experience different things in the same game.
10	* Including a KarmaMeter or RelationshipValues so that every choice a player makes influences the game in a different way.
11	* In {{RPG}}s and games with RPGElements, having a number of different possible ways to build your main character or characters, such as specializing in weapons or magic.
12	* Including some form of NewGamePlus.
13	* Including several bonus features, such as {{Superboss}}es or {{Bonus Dungeon}}s.
14	* [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Great music]].
15	* Generating certain things, such as [[RandomlyGeneratedLevels levels]], randomly. This is one of the reasons why {{Roguelike}}s have a tendency to have lots of good replay value, as well as why {{Video Game Randomizer}}s are so popular.
16	* Options that affect the gameplay, such as harder DifficultyLevels.
17	* Including a LevelEditor and other means for players to generate and share their own content.
18	* Varied enemiesenvironments that require different skills to pass, or even [[GameplayRoulette different styles of play]].
19	* MultipleEndings
20	* And just creating a good game in general.

24	Not to be confused with a target score in {{pinball}} that (most commonly) awards a free game when reached or exceeded, known as a "Replay."
