In directing and guiding games, you'll have to guide a machine or a character from one place to another. Sometimes you need to collect objects in your path while other times it will be mainly to avoid the pitfalls that can be on your way. The passages may be narrow or treacherous.
To be good at this kind of games, you have to be quick and skillful to properly direct your character. In Through The Pacific, for example, you must lead a dolphin in the ocean that must collect stars while moving.
