looking back at xbox games

I thought Metal Gear Solid 2 was effin' awesome. I played it so many times on the PS2, but is equally sweet on the big black box. I can't tell you how much money I spent renting this game for the PS2, racked up about 56 bux in late fees! The price of fun, I guess.shrink45

I baught Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance for the pc for 50 Euros (the symbol for Euro doesn't work here. I can't submit the message with it. This forum is soo flawed. The need to fix these html bugs!) when it was first released. Despite the horrible controls I loved it (have you ever played the pc version? If the game can make up for those controls, you know its gotta be awesome)! Don't worry though, the controls with a gamepad (as on xbox or ps2) are ok.

I would also recommend Star Wars Republic Commando if it is backwardscompatible. I wrote a review for it, you can read it here:

Also Metal Arms Glitch in the System is an underappreciated, undersold gem. Here is my review for it:

Freedom Fighters is also very good. It has got great reviews, but it didn't get the attention it deserved. Maybe because it is offline only. Anyway, here's a review of mine:

And if you want an excellent racing game, then Rallisport might suit you. Here is my review:

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/driving/rallisportchallenge2/player_review.html?id=371615

It feels and plays more like a racing game although its supposed to be rally. Its more about speed than about mastering super difficult turns. So don't expect a ralley simulation, but a great, well executed arcadey racing game.

If you are a Bond fan you should be able to enjoy "Everything or Nothing". The targeting takes some getting used to and the cover- and targeting system makes the game feel strange at the beginning, because its not like your typical third person shooter. You get used to it fast though ad then the game is pretty awesome. Its very varied and although its a bit too over-the-top, even for Bond, it feels more like Bond than most other Bond games you could find. Worth a buy if you ask me.

You have to check for yourself whether those games are backwardscompatible. As I don't have a 360 I don't know whats on the list and what isn't. Shouldn't be too hard to find out though. Good luck.

I would recomend

1. Elder Scrolls III Marrowindb Game of the Year Edition

2.  Beyond Good and Evil

3. ANY  Star Wars game  including Legos

4. Baldurs Gate II

5. Fable lost chapters

6 Outlaw Golf

But I'm an RPG'er

UC2?  Yuck.  I did not like that game.

Star Wars: Knights of The Old Repbulic
Morrowind: Game of the Year Edition
Ninja Gaiden Black
Burnout Revenge or Takedown
Forza Motorsport
Halo 2
Max Payne 2
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time or The Two Thrones
Psi-Ops
Splinter Cell, Pandora Tomorrow, and Chaos Theory

my fav games on xbox are (or were):

-Halos
-Riddick
-Spartan: Total Warrior (Don't know why but i loved this game)
-Fable
-GTA: San Andreas
-Burnout 3
-Pro Evolution Soccer 4
-Dead or Alive 3
-Top Spin
-Legacy of Kain
-Half Life 2
-Prince of Persia (ALL)
-Psi-Ops

I probably could go on, xbox gave me many hours of fun (not so much now).

UC2?  Yuck.  I did not like that game.

Star Wars: Knights of The Old Repbulic
Morrowind: Game of the Year Edition
Ninja Gaiden Black
Burnout Revenge or Takedown

Halo 2
Max Payne 2
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time or The Two Thrones

only way you couldn't like the game was if you didn't take the time (or didn't want to) to learn it.  I never met anyone who actually knew how to play the game say it sucked.:p  Its not for everyone though.  I mean its a completely different game.  Nothing else is like it.  I think it was just ahead of its time personally.  I just hope they make a UC3 for 360.  UC2 was  ment to be a next gen game imo.  That game really pushed the xbox to the max and it showed online.

some of the best games out there are for xbox!!! its hard to tell which xbox games are the best ut we have our own opinion and heres mine

mechasault halo halo 2 leisure suit larry (jk) burnout 3 jsrf project gotham 1 and 2 fable and tons of games that are really good!

UC2 pushed nothing.  I put a lot of hours into it myself before giving it a righteous kick in the balls when I reviewed it.  It's easy to play; UC1 is actually much deeper, especially if you use the mutators to balance the gameplay out.  Not to mention that UC1 has much better level design.

That said:

Of the XBox games that have given me the most memorable experience, my selections are:

Morrowind: Game of the Year Edition (not B/C on the 360, though)
Deus Ex: Invisible War
Dynasty Warriors 4 (5 is better, though)
Death Row
Dungeons and Dragons Heroes
Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 1 & 2
Red Faction 2
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
Hunter: The Reckoning

i know wat u mean i dont play on  my xbox any more , ive been playing on the wii and the xbox 360  

id proberly say  that kung fu chaos is a good game , not the best  but it will give u loads of laughs     xxx

Some of my favs are:

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Def Jam: FFNY

NHL 07
Oddworld: Strangers Wraith

some of my top Xbox faves are:

-The Elders Scrolls III: Morrowind (amazing... nuff said)

Far cry instincts evolution (you can make your OWN MAPS!)

Operation flashpoint elite (happens in the 1980s during the cold war between russia and the u.s., the maps are 20 square kilometers! you can HIGHLY customize your own missions for online and offline play against the computer or other people, there are more than 45 vehicles to use and 30+ weapons to use)
