I welcome all the hate and disinterest; the original XBOX was probably the easiest, most affordable console to collect for and was the first console where I obtained every game I was after. I don't think I spend over $15 for any OG XBOX games, even really rare stuff like Operation Genesis. It is sad though that it doesn't get more love and appreciation since it has so much more to offer than just Halo and Halo 2. I actually like the XBOX more than the GC in terms of Gen 6 consoles. |

Other than the awful reliability issues, I don't really get the hate for the X360 either. It's a solid console with a good library. And it has a lovely controller. |

Games for Xbox worth owning: Halo Halo 2 ... ... ... I'm exaggerating, but only a little. The Xbox had almost no unique library to speak of outside of Halo, Microsoft really needs to get on their knees and pray to Bungie every day for the existence of their brand. I don't think anyone really hates it, but it affords so much fewer options for collecting than the PS2 or Gamecube. |

Here's a list off the top of my head. -Arx Fatalis -Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge -Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes -Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (worth owning the system for this game alone, forget Halo) -Fable -Far Cry: Instinct -Forza Motorsport -Jade Empire (such an underrated and unique action-RPG) -Oddworld: Munch's Odyssey -Outrun II -MechAssault 1 & 2 -Shenmue II -Panzer Dragoon: Orta -Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2 -Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse -Yager |

I mean in party games gamecube dominates compared to ps2 the games are colourfull and the mascots are indestructable, and even in rpg's while the gamecube has few they are better than the best old school rpg's on the ps2. skies of arcadia and path of radiance are better than any ps2 rpg in my opinion. also action platformers adventure games mario and zelda are pretty hard to beat really not many ps2 mascots that could hold a candle to that. while allot of those xbox titles are semi good but far from excellent with some exceptions not to mention non memorable characters. In comparison to ps2 with og xbox not only is the quality better on ps2 also a hell lot more games worth owning and also plenty of memorable games. Yes there are a few great xbox games but there are very few titles wich are actually worth it to get an xbox. Not to mention that those great games are not super great especially when you would compare them to the best games on other consoles from that generation or many other consoles period. I could easily ignore xbox. It has like 2 shoot em ups not even some decently good ones it has very few rpg's not even normal ones like ps2 or gamecube. no memorable mascots. no interesting action platformers 2d or 3d Pretty much no excellent memorable games compared to other consoles just to name some examples. It is only fair why so many people ignore the xbox. There is not much that the xbox gives compared to other consoles from that generation or allot of the older retro consoles unless were talking about atari esk consoles or handhelds than yes xbox is far superior. People are not missing out if they never get an xbox. It is better than some older consoles I'll give it that but that's not really something to boast about. |
