Video games would not really be something without having villains to cause hell and create the action. They are the characters that a player needs to consistently watch out for if he is to continue being in the game. There are different traits that are usually displayed by video game villains. Of course people will perceive them differently; some just love the roles played by villains. Of course Final Fantasy's Seifer brings a lot of tension into the game and so does Super Mario's Bowser. It goes without doubt that the kind of role that the villain plays is what determines the general feel of playing. The quicker and wicked he is, for example, the more keen you will have to be at protecting the victim; usually the main character.
