It would be interesting to play it from a different perspective. It was quite a change of pace the first time I played King’s Quest IV, where the main character was Princess Rosella. Of course, it took me quite a while to figure out some things that only “girls” would have thought out (as a female friend who was playing the game, too, told me).
why not, you can’t have every story from one angle.
I like games that that have you play from different perspective. Playing from a female character point of view always interest me.
Hmmmmm…
Well…I could say that I really do not care…if the story is good…
Nevertheless, if the story is a romantic one…I really prefer playing a man…
Oh, well…v 
I like playing as both for a couple of reasons.
1) Usually the games are designed so that the guys and gals each have their own strengths and weaknessess (so what might be easy for a girl, is hard for a guy and vice versa.) This challenges me to, to coin a goofy phrase, "think outside the box."
2) More replay. Sure, I’ve finished a game as Captain Bob, but now I’m kinda curious as to what Captain Mary would do during the situation.
3) Some gender exploration. Okay, I’ll admit it, sometimes I get kinda curious about what it would be like to be a girl. That’s one of the reasons I picked up X-Change. If a game gives me the option to play as both a guy and a gal, I can see the world through a girls eyes.
4) The girls are usually drawn better. For whatever reason, it’s my finding that the girl characters are just drawn better. Now I’m not talking “eye candy” here. I mean things like colors, looks, animation, coreography. I just think the girls are done better.
Hope that answers your qustion

Something meaningless to follow.
How about Key’s Air (or the last chapter in Air). You get to play a crow instead (whoopie!), and unlike those Disney flicks, this one doesn’t talk but squawks.
