Forum Overview :: Gamerasutra :: Has there ever been a game where a stamina meter really worked

[quote name="Rafiki"]By stamina meter, usually something that allows you to run or sprint or move faster but only for limited intervals. Has there ever been a game that would fall apart or be less fun / easier if a stamina meter didn't exist? Because I think I always find they amount to a mechanic where you press the run button, then let out a huge sigh when your stamina meter runs out and you have to move slower while waiting for the meter to refill, and then press the run button to start running again. Then repeat for 40 hours.[/quote]
