Does Splinter Cell: Double Agent or Medal of Honor: Airborne have good reply value or online multiplyer?

Namaste86

I've actually been playing Medal of Honor and to be honest it's pretty poor. The average games played a night is about 19 and with only 4 players per side it is pretty boring due to the maps being pretty big so you can never find people. The campaign is OK but the gameplay is awful. I would go for CoD2 or CoD3 if you're looking for a decent WW2 shooter.

Double Agent is good, but has no online so it limits its replay value quite a bit but the achievements might make you play over again if you're the type who goes for achievements.

Yo! Should I get Burnout Paradise? :) I have played BO Takedown and I laughed all the time, I loved the speed and crashes! And I have tried Revenge and it was great too. And I like NFS games so I like the openworld idea. :) So, if I get Paradise, will my desires of crashing and blowing stuff get pleased? :)

Thanksvalttu

YES!!

Hope that helps. :D

Well Double Agent does have online multiplayer but the online community is pretty inactive.

Are there any pure action games out on the Xbox 360(outside of Devil May Cry as I never really took to the series)?

What I mean by action I'm talking about games that could be similar to games like Lair, Heavenly Sword, or Rachet and Clank on the PS3 or No More Heroes, Scareface, Soul Calibur Legends on the Wii or just in general like the Prince of Persia series?

Just games that are a decent length (that I can't sit down and beat in a weekend or single evening), that has replay value, and is good. Doesn't have to be a a 9 or higher in ratings but say 7s and higher (not just based on GS reviews though). No stealth though since I don't really care for that to be honest.

Thanks.

Ok guys, I haven't had a good CUSTOMIZABLE car game since NFS Underground 2 and Juiced 1.

Im looking for something where I can go all out making my car like awesome with a bunch of different spoilers, side skirts, kits, stereos, etc. Any Recommendations? Prefer more of an open world like Underground 2.

Thanks!

Forza 2 has some of the best customisabilty i've seen in a racing game, but i doesn't have the open world feature. Burnout Paradise should be bought for that. ;)

Im currently playing Burnout Paradise but it doesn't have much in terms of Customisability for the cars. All you can do is like change the paint, no different spoilers,kits,speakers,tints,graphics, etc.

Is NFS Carbon any good?

Any chance this will be updated with recommendations for stuff in the XBLA? And potentially, XBLA games within certain points ranges? I was hoping this thread had something of the sort, because i've 400 MS points left and I'd rather spend them on a worthy game rather than some stupid gamer pics or console themes. :roll:

For 1 if you have a wireless network you need to get the wireless adapter,it is a little expensive but worth it, but anyway the games you should get are as following(in no particular order)

1 halo 3

2 gears of war

3 ghost recon advanced war-fighter 2

4 guitar hero 3

5 madden 08

6 assassins creed

7 mass effect those are just some of the games message me for more great games

Great work, although people wont agree, I reccommened Earth Defence Force 2017, great budget title, more than the sum of its parts...just plain fun!tylea002

I rented that played all of 10 minutes and went back to the local Lack Luster Video and demanded they exchange it for something else. Of course I was shortly arrested and removed from the premises :) Just kidding, the game sucked!

I would have to say:

1. Gears - as this is a cult classic and no owner of a 360 should go without

2. - COD4 - Just an awesome Campaign and multi-player to die for.... and you will :)

3. HALO 3 - only if your a true fan cause if you've played one your probably board by now!

4. Guitar Hero 3, just an excellent time killer and everyone can enjoy it. It got my wife playing. . . Kinda

5. Mass Effect - Excellent Story, Game Play, all round bad a$$ RPG, side missions got a little repetitive but all in all A-OK

6. The Darkness, it's not worth the $60 bucks I shelled out but 45 or less it cool.

7. Can't comment on sports games, never been a fan of sports period! Don't Judge Me.

If you want a simple, no frills, fun racing experience, PGR4. If you want the ultimate hardcore realistic racing experience, Forza 2. I've got both because they both in my opinion offer up different types of gameplay.

I was thinking though, I picked up Devil May Cry 4 yesterday, but I'm thinkng I might have to pick something else up this month, Turok or The Club?

I've already got Burnout actually, and I was thinking of getting Lost Odyssey, but I have haven't completed Blue Dragon yet, and after reading the review for Lost Odyssey from the guys at IGN I'm not convinced.

This thread needs to be updated to add Devil May Cry 4 to action games on 360. ITs easily one of the best if not the best. From a combat standpoint and boss battles, there isnt anything close...plus DMC 4 has sty-le and Dante is simply a Badass

I've played the first few levels of DMC4 and i'm actually surprised so far that it only got an 8. It really kicks a lot of ass imo. Easily the best so far since the original. I know one of the negatives was that it was repetitive but that's really not a negative to me since I've replayed the first and second levels alone about 10 times over just to collect proud souls and get more skills, and improve my ranking.

If you like hack and slash type fighters with awesome combos, I don't think there's a better game.

Hey, I'm looking for a good game that's outside the main recommendations (Halo,Cod,TOB, Oblivion, Mass Effect,Bio, etc) and isn't a first person shooter or racer (bored of those genres)

I've got Forza, Marvel, CoD, Halo, Creed, and Dance Dance Revolution.

Is ace combat long lasting? I've never been into flight airplane based games, but I loved Star wars rouge squadron, the demo seemed good for ace combat.

Also, any good demo's out there?

Ace Combat was alot better than I expected, there are plenty of single player missions for you to go through, and multiplayer is alot of fun, supporting up to 16 people in a match. My only criticism of the multiplayer is that there are only 4 or 5 maps, and 2 or 3 game modes to play.

Personally when I'm playing multiplayer in Ace Combat I just set up a match with 2 of my friends and we just fly around doing the odd stunt.

It's definitely a good game, I mean play the demo and see for yourself, but as I fan of Star Wars Rogue Squadron myself, I'D recommend it. Do not, under any circumstances buy the other flight game on the 360, Over G. It's awful. In fact it goes to a whole new level of awful. It's in a league of it's own when it comes to awfulness.

I just got my Xbox 360, and I'm looking to buy some decent games. I want an RPG to start, I already have a shooter (Halo 3came with the system, along with Two worlds [which i only played for a little while, it sux], Ultimate Alliance, and forza motorsport 2). Got any ideas for games I should buy?

Out of the games I listed above, DON'T buy Two Worlds, it's horrible. I think the only one I would suggest is Halo 3. The online play is SO much fun. :P

Try Saints Row for a GTA style game. Its really quite good. Also Assassin's Creed, Orange Box & Bioshock are worthy mentions.
