what video game console for visually impaired

my mother is not blind, she just doesn’t have center vision. She does however enjoy playing video games. She has played the super Nintendo, and Sims 2 game. She has mentioned that 3D games are a little difficult to navigate her way through. She wants a game system for her house for when people come over, but also for herself. can you tell me which system would be the best for maybe role playing? something that is not too fast paced.

I am not sure what are best for visual impairments, but Xbox 360 has great RPG titles out there. Some are in a more vast 3D world as others aren’t quite as vast and more linear. My favorites are Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon (Turn-Based). Which are good for people who like a slow paced game.

There are also other RPG’s that are real time, faster pace but still good as well. These are Mass Effect and Phantasy Star. There are othe titles also, but just too many to mention. Many more RPG titles are coming out, so for a fresh game, you can look for the 360 to deliver.

I would wait for the 60GB pro to come out or get the Elite as they have seemed to fix the dreaded problem we all hear with the Xbox 360’s. But I wouldn’t trade Xbox 360 for nothing else, my kids and I love it.

May also want to look at a PS3 simply because of the blu-ray, more entertainment in one system. They also have some good RPG’s, just not as many. I, myself plan to buy a PS3 for the blu-ray and a few games not on the 360.

Good Luck in your decision!

    has some classic role playing games, and 2d side scrollers, basically has a game for every taste.
