Got an Xbox Original, What now?
« on: December 03, 2014, 10:44:12 am »
Inspired by this post - http://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,5578.0.html

I just grabbed an Xbox 1 (screw you MS for your weird naming) and I don't really have any idea of good games for the system. I know that Halo 1 & 2 are a must but outside of that I have no idea of good games or exclusives for the system. So what should I be looking into in everyone's opinion?

Jet Set Radio Future
Knights of the Old Republic
Otogi 1&2
Crimson Skies
Phantom Dust
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Kung-Fu Chaos

JSRF is the best game on the system IMO, and that's not a knock against the system - it's just an incredible game.

Well he's playing FFT on the PSOne now, so I think he has his priorities straight. After you get the PSOne...and the Gamecube...then there are enough good exclusives on the 'box to justify picking one up.  :)

Seriously, though...having never owned, played, or wanted one - the two (console) exclusive games that I'd want to most play - would probably be...

a tie between

...Morrow Wind and SWKotOR.

Am I even remembering correctly about those 2 being console exclusives on the original XB?

Sphinx is excellent. I always think of it as a GC game because that's what I played it on, but it was out for all 3 systems at the time. I never finished it tho - somehow my save got corrupted and I had gotten so far into the game I didn't want to start over at the time. Wouldn't mind giving it another go now.

Great Exclusives:
-Arx Fatalis - Ultima: Underworld inspired action-RPG.
-Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge - Awesome airplane game set in the 1930s. It's a bit open-ended and you can upgrade planes and unlock new planes as you move forward in your questline. Great looking graphics, to boot.
-Dungeons & Dragon: Heroes - Great little Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance clone.
-Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - The 3rd Elder Scrolls game and the single best RPG of that generation.
-Halo 1 & 2 - Must-haves if you own an Xbox. Great multiplayer, and blockbuster-movie-eque campaign storylines.
-Jade Empire - Very unique action-RPG set in ancient China that centers around martial arts and mystical arts and has a cool moral/choice system.
-MechAssault 1 & 2 - Best mech-games of that generation, IMO. Less simulator-based, more action-based than other mech games.
-Panzer Dragoon Orta - A sequel to the Sega Saturn series. Gorgeous graphics and a great soundtrack mix to make a very relaxing game, actually.

Great Multiplatform Games:
-Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 & 2
-Burnout 1-3
-Capcom Classics Collection 1 & 2
-Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction
-Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
-Marvel vs. Capcom 2
-Mega Man Anniversary Collection
-Sonic Mega Collection Plus
-Spider-Man 1 & 2
-Tony Hawk's Underground 1 & 2
-X-Men Legends 1 & 2

I don't know if I'm alone in my opinion, but I liked Blinx: The Time Sweeper. It seems like people were disappointed with it back in the day because it was over-hyped, but it's not bad if you go in with no expectations.

Has anyone played Crazy Taxi 3? That's one I've been on the lookout for recently, I didn't know it existed until about a month ago.

Yeah, I played it a little while back; its pretty fun but its really more of the same if you've played the other entries in the series. It has a few weird drops in framerate, but besides that, the game runs well, and the graphics have gotten a decent overhaul compared to the Dreamcast entries and some stages( taken from previous games) have been retooled for this specific game.
