Do you think it is worth it to get one? There is only 2 games I realy want to play on it which are Jet Set Radio Future, and Panzer Dragoon Orta. I'm just wondering what some of the more worthwhile games are.

Well there's Halo and Halo 2, Forza, Chronicles of Riddick...

As for whether it will be worth it or not depends on how much you are going to pay.

I've been thinking the same thing lately. I want to get an Xbox now they are so cheap in price. I want to play some games like Doom 3, Half Life2, and maybe Halo 2. I never got to play any of these. Still giving it some thought for now.

Yeah dude there are lots of good games on the system. I would suggest going throught the reviews section of gamespot, look at all of the editor's choice games and there will be some that you would like to play.

X-Box is horrible... the only thing that makes it remotely cool is that its name kind of reminds me of X-Men

I had an Xbox and loved loads of great games on it!

FPS's such as Halo, Halo 2, XIII, Chronicles of Riddick and many more! There's MGS2, Soul Calibur 2, Shenmue 2, the 3 GTA games, KOTOR, KOTOR 2, Some Tony Hawk games, Jade Empire, Serious Sam 1 and 2, Forza Motorsport, Psychonauts and more I can't think off of the top of my head.

EDIT : I could've listed more, but I found This thread so, buy everything on that thread and you'll be happy :D

Man, I really wanna buy more Xbox games.... I loaned all of my current ones to my uncle XD

The only particularly noteworthy Xbox game that hasn't been done better on another platform that you haven't mentioned already is Steel Battalion, though a lot of the noteworthiness is due to the fact that you need a huge, expensive (as in 100+ US$) controller to play it, which does add quite a bit to the experience of piloting a somewhat primitive mech. If you do decide to play SB: Line of Contact over Xbox Live, be warned that the people you'll end up playing against have become quite skilled at the game and will show you no mercy. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to decide between playing Jet Set Radio Future (a game in which I have a bit of trouble trying to paint graffiti in one pass despite the fact that I only recently got it) and Panzer Dragoon Orta (where I have to figure out how to not take forever to kill a boss). Oh, and speaking of PDO-if you want to play it in 480p without image corruption, make absolutely sure that you're not getting a 1.6 Xbox.

I love my Xbox. The original is the only reason I bought the 360 over other consoles. There are so many great games for it, but it never got the credit it deserved. Personally, I haven't regretted buying my Xbox even for a second. Here are some games I loved:

KOTOR 1 & 2: The first is one of the best RPGs I've ever played.

Dreamfall: The Longest Journey: The only game to almost move me to tears. The best adventure game released on consoles last generation, and one of the best game stories of all time.

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth: A creepy, freaky horror game. One of the scariest on any platform.

Fable: Flirt with middle-aged bald men, until they demang an engagement ring. Give one to them, get married, have the sex, and then beat them within an inch of their lives while they tearfully demand divorce. Enough said.

The Chronicles of Riddick: One of the best games of the last generation, and one of the only movie spin-offs to actually work.

Jade Empire: A beautiful open-world RPG with an Oriental flavour.

Ninja Gaiden Black: An extraordinary game. Hard as all hell, but everyone should try it just for the brilliant combat and great graphics.

Deus Ex: Invisible War: Didn't get spectacular reviews, but this was one of the most enjoyable Xbox games I played.

Shenmue 2: An adventure game like no other, with an amazing fighting engine.

Morrowind: A vast sprawling western-style RPG. The biggest and longest game I've ever seen.

Breakdown: An ambitious but flawed FPS/First Person Brawler.

JSRF: Japanese take on the skating genre, with grafitti, crazy soundtrack, and beautiful cell shaded graphics. What's not to like?

Mercenaries: GTA in a warzone. You could raze almost every object and building in the game to the ground, and the explosions were breathtaking.

Plus many, many others. Xbox is simply not just an FPS console, like so many people here try to make out. It sadly had no JRPGs, and every other genre was well represented.

None at all? Are you sure? I mean, I don't really, 100% know what fits into the classification of a JRPG, but it's hard to believe that there aren't any on the system...

I'm not calling you out on this or anything, just wondering.

Definitely get Phantom Dust. If you have friends that come over, you should try and get them to buy it also (it retailed 19.99 so it should be like $5 now). The single player is odd (good story, fun gameplay... yet somehow it adds up to be less than the sum of its parts) but multiplayer is fun. Me and my roommate used to play it for hours on end.

Get KOTOR 1 and 2. 2 has a really good story but its slower and it has hella glitches and constant loading.

There was one. Sudeki. Other than that, none at all..... No wonder Xbox didn't do well in Japan. It was a crying shame, because I like JRPGs. But they were all PS2 exclusives.

That's too bad. I had a lot of fun with that game, and I could have done with some others similar to it.

If you like JSRF and Panzer Dragoon Orta then you might want to check out Gunvalkyrie. It's hard, but it's a beautiful game nontheless.

If I'm not mistaken, Jet Set Radio Future is compatible with the Xbox 360 (I never tried it but I do own the game, its quite good but probably not as good as its predecessor.) Not so sure about Panzer Dragoon but keep in mind its a rail shooter, a pretty good one apparently but still just a rail shooter. Overall, I wouldn't get an Xbox for those two games but only because JSRF is compatible with the 360, otherwise if it wasn't I would fully recommend buying an original Xbox lmao

The Xbox has a lot of good games. It's worth it if you don't have the money to get a console from this generation.

I actually have both of those as well. I love Phantom Dust, though I didn't realize it was a JRPG. I haven't tried Shenmue II yet, though.

As for whether it will be worth it or not depends on how much you are going to pay.

Sadly, 99% of the games you listed are already out for PC, and 50% I have for PC. I'm not into FPS, or racing, as I use my PC for those. I was more curious of the games that actually use the Xbox originally. Someone mentioned steel battalion, and I must say it looks interesting. Anyone else have a game that is original, and cannot be played on a dream-cast/ps2/n64/or PC? If I see more it will defiantly warrant a purchase.

steel battalion if you want that then you have to dish at least $100 (Due to the whopping controller it come with)
