[digitalpress]

You could NEVER edit posts in this forum - see forum rules at the top of the Classic Discussions page.

Thank you,

[jaybird]

Thought of two more that I haven't personally played, but are thought of pretty highly:

Shenmue II
Elder Scrolls III, The: Morrowind

[Drexel923]

I second Project Gotham Racing. It's a fun game and now its pretty cheap too. Maybe Amped...just becuase of the price though.

[Six Switch]

Thank you,
the Management

Sorry,I posted in this from the video game forum. :embarrassed: Never again! :(

[Kid Fenris]

Add Gunvalkyrie. It's awesome. It's challenging. It's like Burning Rangers, Panzer Dragoon, Metroid, and Starship Troopers diced, mixed, and served on a bed of gorgeous visual panache with a side of retro-futuristic steampunk atmosphere. It's so impressive, it inspires me to write hokey descriptions like the previous sentence.

[cheesystick]

How dare you not list steel battalion...
Serious sam isnt bad either.
-crispy

[rsiddall]

No one enjoyed/enjoying Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb*?
Put me down for Xtreme Beach Volleyball*, too... both exclusive to XBOX

[NE146]

Yeah some of you could see this coming for miles.. but what I'm playing THE MOST on the xbox? Dracula X, Shining Force CD, Zookeeper, and Gates of Thunder. They are the 4 games currently in rotation getting the most playtime on the awesome awesome XBOX. It's pure gaming bliss I gots to tell ya.

But back to the subject at hand.. The Xbox-native "A" list titles. To be quite honest.. to me, they all kinda suck! :P But if I had to choose, I guess it would be Halo, and umm.. Panzer Dragoon.

[tynstar]

My favs are


Max Payne
Halo
Steel Battillion
Panzer Dragoon Orta
House of the Dead 3
NHL 2k3

[josekortez]

I would add Sega GT 2002, NHL Hitz 20-02, Hunter: The Reckoning, and Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee, as far as what I've played.

Why didn't anyone suggest Dead or Alive 3, Capcom vs. SNK 2, or Unreal Championship? I haven't played them, but they all got high ratings...

Gunvalkryie sucks. The controls are stiff and badly placed.

[captain nintendo]

cant say i have an extensive xbox collection but here are my favs.
halo
steel battalion
mech assualt
i am sure there are better games on that system, but those are my favorite as of this moment. LOL

[captain nintendo]

oops.....
and i forgot max payne. how could i have forgot that game.
:drinking:

[wizardofwor]

Oddworld Munch's Oddysee, one of the launch titles, but loads of fun! :D

[Videogamerdaryll]

Steel Battalion..

Halo

Max Payne

Hitman II

Ghost Recon

Blood Wake

[Evil E]

Hands down no question:

Jet Set Radio Future
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Unbelievably underrated platformer!)

Blockbuster is having a 25% off any used game right now, and I noticed they had Buffy the vampire slayer used!! I could have gotten it for around $11, but I have never been a huge fan of the TV series. Does the game only appeal to "buffy fans", or would those of us that aren't fans like the game?? You all seem very high on this game, so should I go back and get it??
E.---

[digitalpress]

Let's revisit, as it's getting close to holiday season.

Anything to add?

[cheesystick]

We must add Return to Castle Wolfenstien: Tides of War. The brillancey of this game is only superceeded by its outrageously fun online play. There are also many new levesl, enemies, and multiplayer features that are exclusive to the xbox version. Very enjoyable, I must say.
-crispy

[digitalpress]

STICKIED FOR THE HOLIDAYS!

Now you've got something to use as both a "give to a new owner" and as recommendations for a personal "wish list".

Just another free service provided to you by DP INDUSTRIES INC :)

[rxd]

Hands down no question:

Jet Set Radio Future
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Unbelievably underrated platformer!)

E.---

I hate the tv show, but the game is great. Get it...

[jgenotte]

I do not care what else is on the list but

Project Gotham Racing
Halo

can not be left off.

[grayejectbutton]

I'd add FIFA Soccer 2003 - easily the best soccer game on the Xbox and arguably the best on any system right now. I haven't played FIFA 2004 so I don't know whether the series will improve any more...

I'd also add Time Splitters 2 - personally, I prefer the Gamecube version (I prefer the control layout for some reason) but the Xbox version does have a higher frame rate and WAY faster load times. Plus, it's just a great game all around. It's no Halo, but it's still great fun, especially in multiplayer.

[buttasuperb]

Crimson Skies is the best next gen game I've played in a very long time.

Arcade style run n gun action packed goodness.

If you have an xbox, and don't have this game, go get it now.

[Evil E]

SoulCalibur 2 :evil:

[ubersaurus]

Panzer Dragoon Orta of course, and Toejam & Earl 3 was sweet.

[brykasch]

PSO (I can't believe no one has mentioned this)
Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance
Dungeons And Dragons Heroes
Splinter Cell

[hu6800]

On christmas day...
i really want to beat toejam and earl 3.
Besides watching my father die on christmas day in 1993...
the second worse thing happened last year.

Last year,, right before christmas i was almost killed in a car accident.
My xbox with that game inside it were destroyed by the impact and
the snow that filled my car after.

Im expecting nobody over my house for xmas ..
I might cook.. but one thing i promised myself for the last 3 months
is that id like to get another xbox and finish that game.

[Mospeda]

Mercy that's depressing. :(

[Mr Mort]

To hu6800:
Damn, I'm sorry you've had some bad holiday experiences. I hope you got another Xbox & beat your game like you wanted.

Back on topic, I'm going to stick to exclusives, but my votes go to:

-Panzer Dragoon Orta: a cinematic and orchestral experience all around, with a visual style you'll only find in the PD series.

-Rallisport: Easily, my favorite racing game of all time. PERFECT control. Not too sim-like, not too arcadey, visuals that are almost photo-realistic, and awesome physics. IMO a pinnacle of racing games.

-MechAssault: Fun single-player experience, completely addictive online, one hell of a FUN game, with enough strategy to keep you playing.

-Halo: Obviously

[josekortez]

No offense, Mort, but the handling sucks in Rallisport IMO. For that matter, in most rally driving games. Give me arcade-style driving any day...

[Mr Mort]

No offense, Mort, but the handling sucks in Rallisport IMO. For that matter, in most rally driving games. Give me arcade-style driving any day...

Hmm, sounds like you don't care for Rally games in general. To each his/her own I suppose.

I'm a big fan of Rally games, Sega Rally being the first that got me hooked.

[Kejoriv]

Add Topspin to the list. Way better than Virtua tennis for DC

[Half Japanese]

Here are a few of my favorites, * = exclusive:

Phantom Crash*
Max Payne
Beyond Good & Evil
Prince of Persia
Panzer Dragoon Orta*
Sega GT 2002*
JSRF*
Genma Onimusha*
Deathrow*
Timesplitters 2

Thanks to extensive HDTV support, I play my Xbox more than anything (call me a graphics whore if you must, but being new to HDTV I'm still in love).

[dreamcaster]

Panzer Dragoon Orta
RalliSport Challenge
Shenmue II
Project Gotham Racing
Halo
Gunvalkyrie

[sabre2922]

SILENT HILL2:restless dreams
soon to be overtaken by SILENT HILL4:the room
GTA:double pak (i know i know)
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Soul Calibur2
......and Bloodrayne (hey I still liked it and part2 looks to correct the control issues etc that plauged the first one)

[doctor_t]

Ninja Gaiden - I know its a new release but its one of the top rated xbox games going all the way back to the system's launch. I'm not done with it yet, but it's great.

[doctor_t]

Also, for all the mentions of Project Gotham Racing, Project Gotham Racing 2 is much improved and would be the choice for anyone buying a system now.

[D-ville Gamer]

if i had to start over it would be with mechassault, halo, project gotham 2, armed and dangerous, and true crime streets of la( game gets alot of heat, but i enjoyed it.). also love the custom soundtrack feature available on xbox version of multi platform games .

[Fairlight]

Panzer Dragoon Orta
Rallisport Challenge
Morrowind GOTY Ed.
DOA3
Halo

[optic_85]

Why hasnt anyone mentioned Blinx:The Time Sweeper?! That is one of my all-time favorite games!

[EnemyZero]

Deathrow
Phantom Crash
Shenmue II
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Gunvalkerie
Crimson Skies
Kung Fu Chaos ( helluva lotta fun if you ask me)
Halo
JSRF

[Jasoco]

I second Serious Sam. Best FPS ever.

I'll add Vexx (Not exclusive, but best on the Box with the controller IMHO.) and Futurama for the fan. (Also not exclusive. But I'd rather use the Xbox controller than the PS2 POS controller.)

[lendelin]

Colin McRae Rally 3 and 4 should be added. Both games have the best control of the new-gen racing games (besides GT3, of course) and therefore deliver deep and rich gameplay.

[Evil E]

Why hasn't anyone added Halo?

(I kid I kid! :P )


E.---

[ubersaurus]

I'm seconding Ninja Gaiden and Bloodrayne.

Some upcoming games look very promising, Xyanide, the SNK ports, and Guilty Gear XX #Reload among them.

[Crush Crawfish]

Here's my Xbox favorites:

Armed & Dangerous
Blinx
Grabbed by the ghoulies
Legacy of Kain: defiance
Ninja Gaiden
Otogi
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Jet Set radio future
Toejam & Earl 3
Voodoo Vince

[sabre2922]

I have to add:
COLIN McREA RALLY 04 PERFECTION!
A triple A title for 20$ do my eyes decieve me @_@
this game has it all
great graphics,perfected gameplay best damn rally game ever IMOA

[rxd]

Oddworld Munch's Oddysee, one of the launch titles, but loads of fun! :D

I'll second that. Great game....

[BloodshedPlague]

This is what I think.
1. Ninja Gaiden
2. Metal Slug 3
3. Jet Set Radio Future
4. Panzer Dragoon Orta
also Breakdown is pretty good.

[BloodshedPlague]

Is Toejam & Earl 3 really any good?

[optic_85]

It's loads of fun for a few hours, but it's insanely repeatative gameplay makes you not want to play it much after about a week.

So here's my list:

HALO
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Deathrow
Crimson Skies
Blinx
Kights Of The Old Republic(best on xbox)
JSRF
Oddworld

....Im really looking forward to sudeki!!!! That game looks so sweet.

[Jasoco]

I played the TJ&E Demo on one of the Exhibition discs and it was.. interesting. I did enjoy the video, though. The whole intro video was very well acted and I will get it to have sometime in the future. I don't know how much it is right now, and I only ever see it used at GS Disc only. No cover or anything.

[LiquidX01]

Halo(so obvious)
Unreal Championship (My favorite XBL game)
Tom Clancy's games(Splinter Cell's, Ghost Recon's, etc.)

I prefer all the multi-platform games on XBox ;)

[Richter]

Syberia

pretty cool Adventure game

[Lemmy Kilmister]

Ninja gaiden
jet set radio future
kotor
panzer dragoon orta
metal slug 3 (extra features :D)

[ubersaurus]

I second Metal Slug 3. the extra missions with the soliders are hilarious, the difficulty is excellent, and all in all, the game made the translation VERY well.

[digitalpress]

I've added Chronicles of Riddick (which some local friends insist is one of the best on Xbox) and Red Dead Revolver, which is one of the best games I've played all year.

[Jasoco]

I've added Chronicles of Riddick (which some local friends insist is one of the best on Xbox)How is that game?

[MegaDrive20XX]

My favs:

Return to Castle Wolfenstien: Tides of War (Simply amazing)
Dead Man's Hand (Cant go wrong with a western)
Halo
Capcom Vs. SNK 2
Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance
Sonic Heroes
Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams
Dungeons and Dragons: Heroes (It's really fun)
Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 and 2 (voice chat rules)
Metal Slug 3
Midway's Arcade Treasures Vol. 1(endless Smash TV fun)
Panzer Dragoon Orta (Prettiest graphics I've seen yet)
Jet Set Radio Future (Super Pimp)
GTA Double Pack (Customize Soundtracks are your friend)
Tony Hawk 2X (Having 1 and 2 on the same disc is sweet)

[Rogmeister]

I notice you put an asterisk next to Red Dead Revolver (a very fun game, by the way) meaning it's exclusive to the system...so my seeing it as a PS2 game as well must've been a mirage? :P

[Hakkenden]

Jet Set Raido Future is the only Xbox excluse game that I played and likes

[Mitch_Naz]

Halo and rtcw: Tides of war

[Tan178]

rtcw especially, if only for the added version of wolf3d that's on the disk

[Jasoco]

Yeah, that kicks ass they incuded Wolf3D on the disc. What would REALLY kick freaking serious ass is if the original DOOM and DOOM II were on the DOOM 3 disc. I mean, COME ON! Until now, there hasn't been ONE single perfect DOOM port on a console. Now would be the chance. I'd probably find myself playing that more. Especially if it had LIVE Deathmatching and Co-op. (Seeing as DOOM 3 is delayed for Xbox, it's probably not too late to flood id with letters.)

[videogameking26]

My favorites for Xbox are:

Halo
Ninja Gaiden
Max Payne
Max Payne 2
Blinx: The Time Sweeper
ESPN NFL 2K5
Malice
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Ty The Tasmanian Tiger
Whiplash
I-Ninja
Midtown Madness 3
Ford Racing 2
The Suffering
Voodoo Vince

Need For Speed Underground
Rallisport Challenge 2

Jet Set Radio Future
Amped 2
Sega GT

[briskbc]

I can only think of 2 that aren't on the list and they have been mentioned previously. I really enjoyed:

Midtown Madness 3
Beyond Good and Evil

And maybe the Midway Arcade Treasures should be on th elist as well.

[goatdan]

After finally feeling like I've played enough to post...

Metal Slug 3 needs to stay for sure.

If you are going for strictly things you can go buy (as there was with GTA Combo Pack), I would have to suggest making it Jet Set Radio Future / Sega GT combo. That's the best deal there is for the system.

Shenmue II isn't an Xbox exclusive if you include the Dreamcast version. Import only though.

NFL 2K5 is awesome and I've put more time into it than any new game lately. I'd also add it.

That's it for now!

[josekortez]

Beyond Good and Evil and Fable need to be added to the main list, pronto!

[Jasoco]

I consider BG&E more of a Cube favorite, but it's good no matter what it's on.

As for Fable.. DAMN this game is awesome.

[LiquidX01]

Beyond Good and Evil is a good game, Not bad for a $7.50 grab I got at T-R-U a few weeks ago.

I would like to add,

Full Spectrum Warrior

Rallisport Challenge 2

Metal Slug 3

[ldkspardante]

-Halo
-Armed and Dangerous
-Star Wars Obi Wan
-Red Dead Revolver
-KOTOR

[jdc]

Rallisport Challenge, Shenmue 2 and Brute Force were my favorite XboX games.

[G4MZ0v3R]

Hunter the Reckoning
Sphinx
Soul Calibur 2 "Best Version"
Among others already listed....

[Richter Belmount]

plenty ^_^
halo
guility gear x2
ninja gaiden
marvel vs. capcom 2
jet set radio future
shenmue 2
soul calibur
max payne 1 and 2
morrowind

[sabre2922]

both KOTOR games
Mechassault
Splinter Cell THE ONLY VERSION TO PLAY! The PS2 versions are hacked to death :(
GTA double pak
Colin Mcrea Rally 04
Soul Calibur 2 the PS2 version looks weak compared to the Xbox and cube ver :P

[uncontrollable_0bsession]

I would have to say that my favorite game for the X-Box would have to be BurnOut 3...
I mean, all the rage you can let out in that game.. IT'S DIVINE. :evil:
KNOCKING CARS OFF THE ROAD IS LIKE, THE NEW PROZAC. :P

Erhem. I haven't played much else since I don't own one, but if I come up with any others, I'll be sure to keep you posted.

Deuces!

[SamuraiSmurfette]

/me stands tall and yells "BREAKDOWN" so that all may hear.

Such a great game...I think it's the only Xbox game that's held my attention long enough to beat it. And I want to play more.

Too bad we'll never see a sequel. Poor namco, and that horrible, horrible boxart. I quote their sales manager who said to me: "We shot ourselves in the foot with that one, I mean, what were we thinking?!?"

[GLASSJOE]

Buffy the vampire slayer choas bleeds

[digitalpress]

I"m adding Call of Duty to this list.

I only played a demo level on the PC and was blown away. While I'm sure the Xbox version doesn't quite live up to the PC experience, I must say that I am VERY impressed with this game. I really like the fact that you change characters and countries frequently and the game presents a holistic war-time environment from a number of different storylines.

The first night I played it I had the surround sound up very high and the feeling of being right in the thick of battle was very well simulated. It's also a great looking game, with lots going on at all times and nary a sign of processing lag.

[PDorr3]

halo2
mech assault
panzer dragoon
unreal championship
morrowind
knights of the old republic

ninja gaiden
crimson skies
fable
otogi(both of them)
chronicles of riddick
guilty gear x2
need for speed:underground
mvp baseball '04

[squidblatt]

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath - easily one of the best games of the generation

Grabbed by the Ghoulies - maybe a personal quirk of mine, but I love it

Dai Senryaku VII - can't stand up to PC hex games, but still awesome for a console

Top Spin - I don't play many sports games, but this one is too good to miss

Otogi series - great art direction

Silent Hill series - elevated video gaming a step closer to true art

Fable - great art direction, tone, and concept

Morrowind - Not as good as the PC version, but a great rpg

[jdc]

I had bought Star Wars KOTOR on it's release date and did NOT like the game, even though I'm an RPG and Star Wars fan and was waiting for the game more than any other at the time. I got rid of it ASAP. Last week I decided to buy it and give it one more try and after 30 hours into it I really like the game and can hardly wait to pick up the sequel.

The problem with KOTOR is that it started out so damned slow and boring. Once I was off of Taris and hit Dantooine I was hooked. I still find that the battle engine can be clunky at times and the rest of your party will often get lost and run across a map in the opposite direction when engaging, since the AI seems to want to take the shortest route to an enemy...even if it means trying to run through or around walls.

Other than that it's becoming a fast favorite.

I finished Fable last week and loved it. Sudeki is next after KOTOR.

[digitalpress]

UPDATED today. I second Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath! It's a great game. Great, unique look, loaded with personality and humor, and it's got all of the stuff that Oddworld Inhabitants have always done so well. Only THIS time, it's not a platformer. Bravo.

[jdc]

Finally finished KotOR last night and can hardly wait to do a dark side run. I'm going to fire up Sudeki in a few minutes.

I also can hardly wait to settle in and play Stranger's Wrath. It's going to be great.

[The_EniGma]

I must say its halo2

also outta the homebrws i like doomlegacy and RoTTX

[motoko_chan_o0o]

Halo2 is my current obsession on xbox, I have to admit I haven't really gotten into much else on it although I know The Suffering, Prince of Persia, Chronicles of Riddick, LOTR :ROTK, and a few others were pretty sweet.

[Rogmeister]

A week or so ago, I bought Major League Baseball 2K5, mostly on Joe's recommendation, and have been enjoying it a great deal. It already rivals MVP Baseball as my favorite baseball series on the XBox. If I have one quibble (and it's a minor one) it's that the music is sometimes too loud and tends to drown out the announcers.

[bluegenes]

A lot of you are listing games exclusive to xbox and that makes good sense and all, but no one is listing my favorites.
Besides the Halo series here is some of the best not mentioned much.
Best Shooter (not counting Halo): Red Dead Revolver
The single player game is great with lots of replay value. The multiplayer is great, because you can play with computer opponents, tons of character selection, neat maps and new players learn quickly.
Best RPG: Gladius
Very deep gameplay. You don't watch, you play. Must have.
Best Party Game: Fuzion Frenzy
Best Kiddie Game: Blinx
Cute and easy to get into.
Best Puzzle Game: Bust a Move
Really just Bust a Move without the lizards. The only other alternative is KLAX in the midway classic set.
Best Fighting Game: Soul Calibur 2. Easy to pick up and play with friends.
Best Brawler: Dynasty Warriors 4. If you miss running around beating the crap out of people, think Soul Calibur action/adventure.
Best Racing Game: Project Gotham Racing 2 is cool, but that forza motorsport looks nice. never played.

[Slate]

Amped
Burnout 2
Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller
Midtown Madness 3

[GamerNerd]

I'm not sure if you're trying to be funny or not... just in case you aren't, which do you mean: Red Dead Revolver or Dead man's Hand?

[Speedy_NES]

Soul Calibur 2
Gladius
Dungeons & Dragons Heroes
Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 2
Roadkill :)
Quantum Redshift
Crimson Skies

and I'm sure many others that don't come to mind right now ;)

-Speedy

[xxdemonic_gamer]

Ok herers a slepper hit its phantom dust and its awesome

[museumsteve]

For me, Steel Battalion was an incredible experience (but then so was Halo) but my fav Xbox game to date:-

Ghost Recon

[vgc]

Burnouts, Moto GPs, Halos, Tiger Woods and I actually really like Brute Force alot. Mike : )

[Falcon]

My friend let me borrow his Xbox last week and I just couldnt stop playing Top Spin. I couldnt believe it, but its much better than Virtua Tennis.

[digitalpress]

Anything new to add, folks?

[evil_genius]

Metal Slug 3
Dead or Alive 3
Project Gotham

[Nirvana]

Halo 2
Dead or Alive 3 (I'm definetly waiting for 4 to come out)
ESPN NFL 2K5 (Even though it's for PS2, this version is so much better.)

[Dji]

Both Mortal Kombat games:

Deadly Alliance is a Platinum Hit, and is thus a recognized success available at a low cost.

Deception might be even better (adventure mode, online play, etc.).

[squidblatt]

Psychonauts isn't on the list - a glaring ommision.

[Famicoman]

Halo 2,
Ranibow 6-3,
Battlefield 2

[Austin]

Dai Senryaku VII (great hex-based strategy game.... it's rare to see good ones in this genre anymore.)

Fatal Frame (series) - Every bit as good as any of the RE or SH games.... the xbox exclusive bonus stuff is a nice plus, too

Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball - Lots of fun, even when you're not playing.

[Thetik]

how bout Unreal championship 2

[Gamebrain]

Far Cry Instincts is one of the best Xbox games without a doubt

Indigo Prophecy

Shenmue 2

[Joker T]

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2x

[videogameking26]

Half-Life 2

[Darth Sensei]

Star Wars Battlefront 2

[Captain Qb]

I think,
Shenmue II
Soul Calibur II

[Tan]

Far Cry: Instincts
Splinter Cells
Project Gotham Racing 1&2
Wolverine's Revenge (custom soundtrack option rocks!)
KOTOR 1&2
RTCW: Tides of War

[johno590]

I second the KOTOR games. Haven't played the first, but I'm about to beat the second and I can't hardly ever put it down.

Halo is a no brainer. And I love ESPN NFL 2k5, graphics are great and so is the gameplay.

[Cless]

How about adding:

Deus Ex: Invisible War
Ninja Gaiden Black
OutRun2
Tenchu: Return from Darkness

The only problem that I found in Ninja Gaiden Black is what “The video game critic” appoint. “Most of the new stuff is locked until you play through the entire game again”.

halo 2 and best talk blitz the league

[WhiteHenDecapitator]

Grand Theft Auto series for Xbox would have to be my favorite games for this console. They look and play better than any version on any other console or PC, plus it takes forever to obtain 100% status!

Thanks.

[MarioMania]

Doom 3
Dead or Alive Ultimate
Dead or Alive 3
Forza Motorsport

[SeGaFiEnD]

1. Toe Jam and Earl III
2. Psychonauts
3. Panzer Dragoon Orta

[Kamisama]

Godzilla 1&2 were quite fun!

[Slate]

Times change favorites..

Destroy All Humans
Doom 3
Psychonauts
Star Wars: KOTOR
Star Wars: KOTOR II
Stubbs The Zombie

Stubbs The Zombie is a game unlike any other! If anyone wants to play AS a zombie, This is it!

[robotriot]

Psychonauts should be on the list, other than that no complaints from me ;)

[ChaosKidz]

DDR
um thats about it...

[bangtango]

I just got an X-Box for Christmas. So far, I've only played:

NBA 2K2
Pocketbike Racer
Big Bumpin'
Sneak King

I've got around a dozen games already but the trouble is finding time to play uninterrupted.

[kaedesdisciple]

I've enjoyed:

Halo 2
Star Wars Battlefront
Burnout 3
Ninja Gaiden Black

These moreso than anything else I own for the system.

[bangtango]

Some recent Xbox acquisitions that I like include:

Halo
Kabuki Warriors
Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green
Jaws: Unleashed
NFL 2K2
NFL 2K3
NHL 2002
NCAA Football 2003
World Series Baseball
Mechwarrior
Morrowind

[greedostick]

Marvel vs. Capcom 2
SvC Chaos
Samurai Showdown 5
Street Fighter Anniversary Collection
The king of Fighters series
Megaman Anniversary Collection

[TheDomesticInstitution]

Maybe not all time favorites... but Mercenaries was like what would happen if you set GTA in North Korea. It was way easier to complete than the GTA games for me, partly because it's not so ADD-friendly. And although not an original XBOX game, and a game that has little replay value... Half Life 2... which you can get @ CC for under $10 right now. Best integration of cinematics and gameplay on a game ever... Well that I've played... The load times are a little annoying, but total immersion in gameplay and story (when not loading).

[Barbarianoutkast85]

Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance
Halo
Halo 2
Oddworld
Fuzion Frenzy

[GhostDog]

Whatever you do, get Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast, Project Gotham Racing 2, and RalliSport Challenge 2.

[GhostDog]

Whatever you do, get Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast, Project Gotham Racing 2, and RalliSport Challenge 2.

Yeah, I am definitely getting Outrun 2006. The other two games seem awesome also. How about Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition Remix, Need For Speed Most Wanted and Need For Speed Carbon? Which is better: Burnout 3 or Burnout Revenge, and why? XBox has a lot of good racing games. Perhaps I should skip out on Forza and other sim titles since I'm more into arcade type racers anyway. Keep the suggestions coming!

[petewhitley]

It got terrible reviews, but I thought Dragon's Lair 3D was a great Xbox game for those that always wanted a full-on 3D Dragon's Lair experience.

[GrandAmChandler]

Merged into the ongoing Xbox Favorites thread. Lets post here.

[Gentlegamer]

Recommendations (not on your list):

Crimson Skies
Panzer Dragoon Orta

[TheDomesticInstitution]

Well, Ghostdog, as far as playing several games on your list... here are a few of my dislikes- only because you asked (some may agree, some may disagree). Hunter: The Reckoning, kinda cool at first, but really gets repetitive after a bit. I got tired of all the button mashing and blowing away hordes of the same enemies that just keep respawing. It has a very coin-op, quarter-muncher feel. I got to a certain boss about halfway through the game, couldn't beat it- and because it was so repetitive, didn't feel like playing it any more. Jet Set Radio... played the 1st stage, and it didn't do much for me. Like a Tony Hawk mixed with anime. I had the double game set with Sega GT 2002 and wound up playing the GT game more. Outrun 2006: Coast to Coast is cool as long as you don't like realism in your racing games.

And as a recommedation, only because it's so cheap and in 720p- try out Cold Fear. Good survival horror (only if you like the genre) game, set on a ship. I found it for 6.00 at a recent circuit city sale.

[GhostDog]

Recommendations (not on your list):

Crimson Skies
Panzer Dragoon Orta

Panzer Dragoon Orta is actually the third game on that list. I read that Crimson Skies is supposed to be a good game but I just don't know if I'll like a flight game. Doesn't seem like my style.

I appreciate your comments. Yeah, Hunter doesn't seem all that great but I just threw it in that list just in case. I won't end up getting it since I just have too many other games I want. I'll probably like Jet Set Radio Future since I own Jet Grind Radio for Dreamcast and love it. Also, it only costs $2 so I don't have much to lose. I love arcade racing titles so Outrun 2006 will be a blast. Let's weed out this list people!

[TheDomesticInstitution]

If you like any of the star wars: rogue squadron games, you'll probably like crimson skies... similar graphics and gameplay.

[theshizzle3000]

My votes go to:

Advent Rising
Psychonauts
Halo
Fable
and their version of Fifa 07

[TheDomesticInstitution]

So Advent Rising is decent? I recently bought it for a few dollars on clearance- the back cover didn't look promising... but that gives me some hope that its worth the price.

[GhostDog]

I think my collection is coming out fine. So far I have:

Street Fighter Anniversary Collection
Phantom Dust
Shenmue II
Gunvalkyrie
Jet Set Radio Future/SEGA GT 2002

[Lerxstnj]

Half Life 2
D&D Heroes
X-Men Legends
Silent Hill 2
Halo 2
Far Cry
Driv3r
Dreamfall


I have and like lots of Xbox games but those are some of my faves. I beat all these except D&D and Driv3r so far. I got into Xbox late, buying my system in March 2006. I will be playing Xbox for many many more years!

[skylark]

I think I've already posted in here, but...

Psychonauts (not exclusive, but downscaled for PS2 from Xbox)
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath
Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee
Voodoo Vince
Chronicles of Riddick
Grabbed by the Ghoulies
Ninja Gaiden

Sudeki
Otogi 1&2
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Deathrow
Still Life (not sure if it's exclusive)


Multi:
Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
The Warriors
GTA Series
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy (closest thing to Zelda on a non-Nintendo System)
Hunter: The Reckoning (if you like the "top-down shooting stuff" genre)
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1&2 (see above)
Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel (see above.)
Gladius (a neglected strategy rpg. Emphasis on turn-based arena fights and team building.)
Silent Hill 2&4
Fatal Frame 1&2
Manhunt
Hulk: Ultimate Destruction
Mercenaries
Dreamfall
Broken Sword
Indiana Jones


I don't feel like thinking of anymore right now.

[josekortez]

Burnout Revenge and Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast should be added to the main list. I know they're not system-exclusive, but both games push the limits of the system and are the best versions of both games in their generation (not counting the 360 version, of course).

[The 1 2 P]

I'm going to add all my favorites because I didn't read everyone else's list.

Halo 1 and 2
Otogi 1 and 2
Ninga Gaiden and Ninga Gaiden Black
Star Wars: Kotor 1 and 2
Far Cry Instincts and Far Cry Evolution
Doom 3 and Doom 3 Resurection of Evil
Max Payne 1 and 2
Burnout 3 and Revenge
Half Life 2
Pain Killer
Star Wars Jedi Knight Outcast and Jedi Academy

[Rogmeister]

I was glancing at the list on page 1 of this thread...I count 48 titles...I think we need 2 more...but there are really only 47 titles, I think. There are two games listed that I think are really the same game but the titles as listed are slightly different...ESPN MLB 2k5 and Major League Baseball 2K5 (ESPN). So one of those should be removed...and maybe have 3 more added to bring it up to a full 50 titles.

[jonebone]

I didn't see Stubbs the Zombie or Ninja Gaiden Black mentioned anywhere in the first page...

Ninja Gaiden Black was superior to the first in every way... it was literally the first game reskinned with upgraded AI (so you couldn't spam the flying sparrow over and over for cheap wins), along with the addition of 50 missions in "mission mode", which unlocks after you beat the game.

[woodsof]

Red Dead Redemption

[Rogmeister]

This thread is for the original Xbox...I don't think they made Red Dead Redemption for that system.
