If i got an xbox, what games would you recommend?

01-26-2003, 11:22 PM

I want one for morrowwind mostly, but i'd rather not buy a system for just one game, and i don't like PC gaming much, so what are some good games for xbox, if i decide to get one.

I played halo, not interested in it.

Splinter Cell is good...better than Metal Gear IMHO.

DoA3 is a decent fighter...and i think its in bargain bins now.

Morrowind for RPG's.

Hunter: The Reckoning is a good kill-everything-on-the-screen and an excellent multiplayer game.

Ghost Recon is pretty good off and online (ask Jared).

MechAssault is a really good action game and is pretty fun if you go online. If you're not going online with it, I'd say try to find a bargain on it or rent first.

Fable (Project Ego) looks to set the RPG bar really high when it finally comes out.

Panzer Dragoon looks fun, but I've yet to play it.

Shenmue II rocks. Great if you're a fan of the original or just in immersive RPG's in general.

Ninja Gaiden is set for a September release now.

Indiana Jones and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic are set to hit the streets in February. Indy's action, Knights is an RPG by bioware/lucasarts.

Crimson Skies was pushed to a May release. I'm expecting it to fall into June, but hopefully I'm wrong since the original was an awesome action/flight game.

What gamestyles are you looking for and what other systems do you own?

I have a PS1 and 2 and gamecube, N64, SNES, and GBA.

RPG's are my favorites, but i'll play pretty much any kind of game, except FPS's and sports games don't interest me.

RPG's are very few and far apart across the board lately, though I have to whole-heartedly recommend Icewind Dale 2 on PC.

The only RPG's on Xbox right now is pretty much Morrowind. You can also count Shenmue II, but aside from that and a few poor action titles disgused as action titles, you're out of luck.

Crimson Sea (not to be confused with Crimson Skies) looks decent. Its out right now and by Koei.

Knights of the Old Republic (Star Wars RPG) looks really good. Its due out at the end of February (barring any delays).

Fable was pushed back again, so don't expect it until late this year or next year.

But as I said, RPG's are weak all over right now.

You can get Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. The game is absolutely fun! But You get bored for a while. Fun in multiplaying.

Mechassault is a kick @$$ game!

Ghost Recon, best tactical/present shooter game for Xbox... Well that's what I say.

JSRF is kinda weird, but this graffiti game has really fine 3d anime graphics, wacky characters and gots really cool challenges.

So you can choose.

And if you want one for Morrowind, then you may like to know that the same company is putting out Sea Dogs II next month. Sea Dogs II is just like Morrowind but with pirates and ships to command [img]smile.gif[/img]

Halo 2 is an awesome game if you go online, aswell as Mech Assault.

X-Box Live gaming rules. It doesn't cost TOO much...

Also, getting any NFL game is a great decission; they have:
1. Awesome graphics.
2. It never gets you bored
3. You can play it over and over again without telling your parents that you "beat" it so you won't play it again.

Someone actually shares my opinion!
(Although I don't have an X-box...)
