Как можно перевести на английский жаргонизм «цепляет»? Т.е. чем-то притягивает. Например: «игра Far Cry 2, которая хоть и убога как стрелялка, но чем-то цепляет».

И какой из этих вариантов, по-вашему, наиболее подходит по оттенку к переводимому слову? Они здесь далеко не все годятся, кмк.

Спасибо. Я хотел посоветовать автору поста got hooked, но засомневался, не пал ли я жертвой ложного друга:)

причем я сам английского не знаю, я проство взял список синонимов глагола intrigue :))))))

да, я понимаю, что это из словаря синонимов - потому что сам считаю их одними из самых полезных справочников, для выражения любых мыслей на английском, держу кучу (штук 5 разных), и пользуюсь постоянно

I'd say:
    There is something in it.
    There is something (catchy, attractive, ..... (see the synonyms in a comment above) about it.

    This one, in spite of being a bit basic as a game, somehow hooks you.
    OR: strangely, you get hooked on it

    It turns you on, however basic the game seems at a first glance

    It keeps you nailed to your chair

    Start the game - and you are taken
    OR: Try, and you'll find yourself taken with it, however basic the game appears at a first glance

    Basic? Try it, and you'll swallow it ( or: fall for it) hook, line and sinker

    it excites/thrills/stirs you/your curiosity

    A gripping/compelling/stimulating/stirring/... product/...

So there are quite a few ways to express the idea. Take your pick
