Good Original Xbox Games

SFOSOK · Jan 2, 2006, 07:05 AM

I just picked up an old xbox from my work and a couple games, wondering what good games I should get for it. I don't like sports games and I'm really picky with racing games as I don't want to own 5 games of the same series. I would rather pick up xbox exclusive titles because if I can get it for PC I will.

Any ideas guys?

Also would like to know some surprising good games.

Thanks for any info, please describe why you like the game and its features.

burnout and burnout revenge!!!

both awesome games

SFOSOK · Jan 2, 2006, 07:46 AM

yeah, I was thinkin bout revenge

Razgriz · Jan 2, 2006, 07:58 AM

ninja gaiden is great. probably the hardest game ive ever played, but the challenge is what makes it so fun.............that and chopping off other ninja's heads with sword, and beating them to death with nunchaku

SFOSOK · Jan 2, 2006, 08:13 AM

Also am getting that one, I'm waiting for my store to get a used Ninja Gaiden black in.

mercenaries.

Burnout Revenge (seeing as how you'd have to wait until March 16 to play the 360 verson.. like, wtf is with that?!?!)

Crimson Skies

Psychonauts

Forza Motor Sports

Ninja Gaiden Black

Jade Empire

Otogi

Lots more I could list.

Yeah Jade empire was brilliant.

I've heard mixed things about Jade Empire but I will probably pick that up.

Burnout revenge I will probably get along with Forza and psyconauts I'll may get for PC.

I haven't seen much Otogi so I'll check that out, and I wasn't a big fan of crimson Sky's when I had my other two xbox's.

Currently have:
MGS 2 Substance (because there is just soo much to do its crazy)
Mercenaries
GR 2 Summit Strike (can't wait till March for AWF)

I plan on getting:
Halo Triple Pack
Ninja Gaiden Black

Looking into:
Forza
Jade Empire
Burnout Revenge (only because I have legends for my PSP)
Psyconauts
Otogi

Keep em coming guys. I want to find Chronicles of Riddeck for PC but its damn hard to find without goin online.

Forza, IMO, is a great game, and has features I LOVE, which I think is better than Gran Turismo 3/4, but Gran Turismo, on the other hand, seems to have better graphics

Jade Empire is great also

SFOSOK · Jan 2, 2006, 11:25 PM

Forza isn't just rice rockets like NFS right? it has exotic cars, American Muscle (old ones), or anything like that?

Also Any other ideas guys?

Nuke209 · Jan 2, 2006, 11:58 PM

put it like this, it's xbox's version of gran turismo

oh yea, forgot to mention

if you like metal slug, there's part 3, 4, and 5 on xbox, and man, they are fun

if you dont know what it is, it's kinda like a very updated version of the original nes's contra, but better

I really enjoyed Full Spectrum Warrior. Kept me hooked for weeks. Action and strategy all at once - nice!

Razgriz · Jan 3, 2006, 01:20 AM

yea, full spectrum warrior was great. Also brings to mind First To Fight. Very fun game aswell with superb graphics.

Funny thing is, i dont own an xbox.....and i know about all these games cause of my friends up in college

Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 is a great game if you can find it
