with the X360, PS3, and Wii out right now what do you think was the best launch game? i have it broken down into specific catagories including sound, gameplay, originality, replayability and graphics.

360- Perfect Dark Zero, Call of Duty 4, Kameo, PGR3, DOA4,

Best sound=Kameo

Best gameplay=DOA4

Best graphics=Perfect Dark Zero

originality=NA

replayability=Perfect Dark Zero

PS3-Motorstorm, Resistance FOM, Untold Legends DK, Ridge Racer 7, Gengi, Gundam

Best sound=Resistance

best gameplay=Resistance

best graphics=Resistance

originality=Blast Factor

replayability=Resistance

Wii-Zelda Trauma center 2nd opinion,Red Steel, Rayman, Exite truck, super monkey ball

Best Sound-Zelda TP

best gameplay-excite Truck

best graphics-Rayman Raving rabbits

originality-Trauma center 2nd opinion

replayability-Zelda

after looking at all the launch titles most of which are exclusive it becomes clear that the 360 had the best launch selection but when you take the best launch game from eah system its a bit harder.

360=Perfect Dark Zero PS3=Resistamce Fall of man Wii=Zelda TP

best graphics of any launch game goesto Perfect Dark Zero along with replayability, best gameplay goes to Resistance Fall of Man. best sound also goes to PDZ, i was going to pick zelda but Midi music is very dated along with zero voice acting=fail. Originality is the same across the board none of these games are very innovative and Wii zelda has abbysmal controls i reccomeng GC version.

so the overall winner is Perfect Dark Zero.

Do you mean Call of Duty 3? Well, that's not a launch game, either. Call of Duty 4 only came out four months ago, bro. Motorstorm was not a launch title, either.

Best launch title is, in my opinion, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. It's my fourth favorite game of all time.

cod2 was a nice launch title but being released on pc as well took away some of its glory especially seeing that the online was a lot bigger on pc.

all systems this gen had horrible launch games. Launch games are suppose to be ground breaking.... the closest thing was Wii sports.... but that was packed in...

mario world, mario 64, halo and soul caliber were the best launch games of all time.

They were no means horrible... Wii and PS3 both got a high AA launch title, while the 360 got a low AAA launch title.

Future launch titles(thats right i got a 8500 Crystal Ball)

XBOX 360II= Gears of War 3, Dead or Alive 5, The Elder Scrolls V, Need For Speed sumthin, Castlevania Rebirth(crosses fingers) NBA 2012,NFL 2012, FIFA 2012, Perfect Dark Aftermath, Halo 4???

but seriously that would not be a bad lineup along with other staple games in glorious DX11, just imagine what Elder Scrolls or DOA5 would look like!

DOA 4 wasn't a launch game for Xbox 360, unless you're talking about the Japanese launch.

Condemned should be in the list for launch games for 360, though. PDZ, CoD2, and Condemned were awesome launch games IMO.

PDZ was not a great introduction to the new gen. its agreed upon by most people that it is over rated. Zelda... while good... was nothing new... as for PS3....
Mario 64 changed gaming. SC was a perfect port of the arcade, which was untouchable before then. Thats what launch titles need to be... not just receive a mere AAA.

I understand how godly the games you listed were, and how this generation's launch title's can't compare to them, but you said they were "horrible." Perfect Dark: Zero, Resistance: Fall of Man, and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess may have not been the best titles, ever, but to call them horrible is silly.

just like this PDZ>>>COD2 simple as that. better weapons, better graphics except charcter models, innovative features like roll mechanic which works ther is also a cover mode, and lastly its more originol than another WW2 shooter i'm sick of killing Nazis its to easy. Multiplayer was also superior in my opinion. and PDZ's soundtrack was quite good rooftops, and temple FTW

Condemned: Criminal Origins and Kameo (Xbox 360)

Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3) and Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii) were great launch titles, too.

with the X360, PS3, and Wii out right now what do you think was the best launch game? i have it broken down into specific catagories including sound, gameplay, originality, replayability and graphics.

360- Perfect Dark Zero, Call of Duty 4, Kameo, PGR3, DOA4,

Best gameplay=DOA4

PS3-Motorstorm, Resistance FOM, Untold Legends DK, Ridge Racer 7, Gengi, Gundam

Best sound=Resistance

best graphics=Resistance

so the overall winner is Perfect Dark Zero.

Nameless-Hero

Chose some confusing choices. Resistance has horrible sound. Listen to the main assult rifle. It sounds like crap. Doesn't look the greatest either.

And Doa4 being the best gameplay? It was barely different than doa3 or 2.

And pdz being best launch game? Can't say so. Even halo would be a better launch game.

For me its Zelda TP, I mean since LOZ:WW was kinda a disappointment for me (8.5 is what I gave it) so me to get a real Zelda game after about 7 yrs was enough for me to think it was better than any other this generation at launch. Also best Wii launch title gameplay Excite Truck? Ok whatever you say, i'm not saying it's gameplay was bad but the best? just no.

Tekken Tag Tourney for the Playstation 2 and maybe Super Mario 64; I was more excited for the former though.

Best Sound-Zelda TP

best gameplay-excite Truck

Nameless-Hero

:shock: Did... did you just claim... that Excite Truck has better gameplay than Twilight Princess?

Could you rephrase that into a sentence like "Excite Truck has better gameplay than Twilight Princess", so that I can sig it?

Resistance is one of my favorite shooters ever. There for I consider it to be an amazing launch title.NAPK1NS

OK being well liked does not make a game a launch title. Being available for sale the first day the console is sold is what makes something a launch title. Resistance is not. No matter how much you love that mediocre halo wanna-be. WW2 shooters are a dime a dozen. This is yet another WW2 shooter but with aliens thrown in for good measure.

mario world, mario 64, halo and soul caliber were the best launch games of all time.
