Ive seen or played ALL of the 360 launch titles including DOA4 and it is my opinion that NONE of them are worth $60 with the exception of the aformentioned COD2. If you've read the sales #'s from ign.com, you must see my point. Even though it was out for less than two months of 2005, it was in the top 20 for game sales! It sold far and above any other game for the 360 and you know why? It was near flawless, a quality none of the other games shared. Every sports title launch was too close to a ps2 or xbox port graphics wise and/or it lacked key game features/options that make a complete game and warrant an extra 10 bucks. Condemned and Kameo had great graphics, but could easily be beaten in 12 or less hrs. making them a no brainer for renting. PDZ and Quake 4 had contoversial campaign and/or framerate problems, which means you pay 60bucks for online only. PGR and NFS get old after a few hrs after you see all of the tracks. DOA4, while gorgeous, has bland and boring character models that stick out like a sore thumb and highly annoying computer AI. For $60 I expect perfection or at least a universal 9/10 rating which leads me back to my original point, COD2 is the only game that meets these standards. I feel sorry for other people that are easily amused and waste $$ on crap just for the sake of owning every title that might be good.

I wish I had bought it for PC, but I needed at least ONE game until Oblivion came out.. I agree, COD2 is the only game worth owning on 360.. at least until March.

My Pc is from 1999 ( all I use it for is internet and school) So I'd rather pay $400 for 360 than a couple of G's for a top notch gaming pc. Call me kooky.

The best game available for the 360 is a PC port?  For shame...

NOTHING owns the 360 controller as it is a work or art and perfectly ergonomic and contoured to shape of one's hand. As it stands now, best controller of all time. Keep your keyboard for typing and your mouse for looking up porn.

Yup there is no ergonomic K+M :roll: Might I add PC's are used for everything not just porn it's also one of the best Gaming Platforms out there and WTF do you think your X360 is? Its a god damn PC noob

Every rating/review said the 360 version is smoother and smoke effects are better than any high end PC. Watcha think about that? I have a 65" hdtv and a leather recliner. I'll take playing COD2 on that setup instead of hunched over a computer desk fiddling with my mouse and keyboard while looking at a 19" moniter any day.

Ive seen or played ALL of the 360 launch titles including DOA4 and it is my opinion that NONE of them are worth $60 with the exception of the aformentioned COD2. If you've read the sales #'s from ign.com, you must see my point. Even though it was out for less than two months of 2005, it was in the top 20 for game sales! It sold far and above any other game for the 360 and you know why? It was near flawless, a quality none of the other games shared. Every sports title launch was too close to a ps2 or xbox port graphics wise and/or it lacked key game features/options that make a complete game and warrant an extra 10 bucks. Condemned and Kameo had great graphics, but could easily be beaten in 12 or less hrs. making them a no brainer for renting. PDZ and Quake 4 had contoversial campaign and/or framerate problems, which means you pay 60bucks for online only. PGR and NFS get old after a few hrs after you see all of the tracks. DOA4, while gorgeous, has bland and boring character models that stick out like a sore thumb and highly annoying computer AI. For $60 I expect perfection or at least a universal 9/10 rating which leads me back to my original point, COD2 is the only game that meets these standards. I feel sorry for other people that are easily amused and waste $$ on crap just for the sake of owning every title that might be good.mattmachine

I strongly agree too.  The sad thing is, COD2 is better on the PC then the 360...

For those hermits that say PC has better gaming than consoles, you are correct. To bad you had to invest $1600 or more dollars to make it happen. Start saving up another $600 dollars cause you know in a year or two a new video cards will come out to make your current one obslete.

COD 2 on the 360 look real good speically if you have a High def tv and as far as the sports games looking like PS2 and XB1 games you have to be joking just look at the difference in Madden NFL 06 for the XB1 and Madden NFL 06 for the 360 The XB1 Verision is a port of the PS2's verision . Now the 360 verision was built from the ground up for the 360 . I am very happy with the 360 . if you are not happy thats your tough luck no one made you buy one . all launchs for any console have bad games even the so called mighty PS3 will have bad launch games and that is just the honest truth

you do understand that when a new videocard comes out, there arent little video card elves that go around to peoples homes and put elven dust onyour current video card and make it slower than it was the day before, right?  just because a new card comes out, doesnt mean its worth buying.  i dont usually buy another video card until at least a year after its release simply because the one i would have at the time still does it job perfectly and by that time those '$600' video cards are around 250-300, if that much.

Good point, and even though its been said soooo many times already, I'll say it again, you do NOT have to drop that much money into a gaming rig if you're smart.  Those prices are for top of the line parts that you're referring to, that you do not need to play games, even recent ones.  I play CoD 2 on everything high with a 1024x720 res. and I don't have the top of the line system by any means.

And, by the time I have to drop another 600 dollars on my pc, it would be the same as dropping another 600 for the next gen of consoles.  I do plan on having both, but the dollar amount is just not that big of deal to consider pc gaming so useless as many of you claim.

People have already mentioned Condemned and PGR3.  Many swear by Kameo.  Although its single player is a little on the bland side, PDZ multiplayer is fun and suprisingly deep.  NFSMW is as addictive as ever.  Then you have all the arcade games.

There are plenty of games worth your while on the 360.

Out of the launch titles PGR3 and COD2 are the only ones worth buying IMO. PDZ is horribly overrated also IMO.

Call of duty is yet another WW2 FPS. I had my fill of those about 4 years ago and would prefer to play PGR 3, Kameo, DOA 4 or Condenemed. Anyway it's good the system had lots of variety in it's launch line-up otherwise it wouldn't have been able to cater to people with different gaming tastes so well :)

that's a nice opinion you have there. Mine on the other hand means far more to me. Kameo, PDZ, DOA4, CoD2, PGR3 were all wonderful launch titles and they are all worth the price of admission. Sorry to hear that you have such a narrow view in gaming. Must really suck

This thread came out just in time to save those poor souls buying games for 360 since it just came out, I don't know how you do it TC... always up to date.

And if a game doesn't get a 9/10 at GS its not worth buying
