Console role-playing games generally differ greatly from those found on PC's. One of the major differences is that console RPG's often are very linear, and more story driven than PC role-playing games. Although the name would imply otherwise sometimes Console RPG's apear on PCs (IE: Final Fantasy VII) and vice versa. An example of a PC role playing game appearing on a console would be Morrowind which was released on the Xbox in 2002.
