xbox games?

so my friend's out of the country for a few months and he let me take care of his xbox
he doesn't really have any games we haven't already played to death, so just looking for some good 1 player recommendations
at the moment i'm playing prince of persia 2 (sands of time) and that was definately sweet the first time around
rented fable and that was pretty cool, though it only took me a week to beat it twice
any suggestions?

Ninja Gaiden
Halo 1 and 2
Project: Snowblind (SUPPOSED to have been released today)
NBA Street V3
Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 2 (Only if there's a pad)

Did you even read what mezzir said? You go on to tell him to get a PS2 when the XBOX doesn't even belong to him, you twat.

Basically take the originals... And multiply the fun you had by 1000. This game has it all AND MORE. The graphics are insane. The difficulty is quite steep, too! The fights will leave you at the edge of your seat. I guarantee that if you won't like it, I'll send you the $5 (well that's how much it costs to rent in NY) through mail to reimburse you.

It's one of those console-buyer games. People would buy the XBOX JUST for NG.

Also, you must play Top Spin and Panzer Dragoon Orta.

Well I wouldn't really call it "overhead", since the camera is BEHIND the character if at default. So... Yeah. It's basically like that.


Posted by mezzir on Feb-24-2005 04:56:

yeah guess your right
overhead would be more like gauntlet (thinking back to nintendo)
or the new ones are probably the same view
idk what to call it
3rd person i guess
sweet though, i'ma rent that shit if i get the chance
good to hear its tough as well
cause beating one game twice in one week, while all the meanwhile going out almost every night to chill with people, working 15 hours-ish, and taking 5 classes doesn't say much for the game

3rd-person! That's what I was trying to say. Haha. Thanks for refreshing the memory. Eesh.

Oh trust me. This game will, at times, have you wanting to destroy objects around you... That's how hard it gets. Don't be discouraged, though. It's quite beatable.

Just to show you how fucking cool this game is, I will stretch the screen with its beauty.


Posted by calculmore on Feb-24-2005 11:02:

meh!

ninja gaiden can't compare to god of war. that is the game that kicks its ass graphically. no doubt. and gameplay wise god of war will be on top

ninja gaiden sucked ass on the sales too.

He has his friends Xbox, not a PS2. God of War is a PS2 exclusive title.

For the Xbox, try Otogi 2 or Ninja Gaiden.

First Day Sales in Japan:

2. Ninja Gaiden (Xbox, Tecmo): 32,802 Units (59,4 %)

"Ninja Gaiden's Shipping Figures
By Andrew 'Talon' Wilson @ 08:18 AM :: XBox: General ::

In an update put forth on its official website this morning, Tecmo today announced the first figures for Ninja Gaiden. The game, which has been out for just a few weeks in North America, has so far shipped 500,000 copies. Ninja Gaiden was released on March 2nd, 2004, for the Xbox, and follows ninja Ryu Hayabusa; as he hunts down the Vigor Empire after his clan�s killed. Anyone wanting additional details on Ninja Gaiden should head on over to the game�s official website."

I'm still trying to figure out the final figure number. In Japan, it started out really strong HOWEVER, since the XBOX is the last in Hardware there, it's not a surprise that not a lot of units would be sold. North America, however, almost did hit 1,000,000. Tell me those sales suck ass. Seriously dude, don't open your mouth unless you have evidence.

I love how you talk about God of War like you've played it or you can see into the future. Repeat after me: Calcumore knows shit. Did it? Good. Now believe it.

"Ninja Gaiden can't compare to God of War" - Wow. You said something right for a change... except you said it incorrectly. What you were supposed to say was "I can't compare Ninja Gaiden to God of War." You're comparing a game about ninjas to a game about greek mythology? You're out of your fscking mind. Just because they're both third person adventure games (LIKE THE HUNDREDS THAT ARE CURRENTLY OUT) doesn't mean that you can say one is better than the other.

Personally, I don't think God of War will beat Ninja Gaiden graphically. The XBox has much more power when it comes to its graphics chip that works along with the processor.

Thank you Yan. That was well said.

Rasta

i should rent ninja gaiden. i liked the original on NES, and heard great things about the one on xbox. hey, also try the hitman series. i own hitman 2 and rented and beat hitman 3. both are super fun for one person play. it'd be too hard to do an online version, but in terms of one player games i liked it. i believe you can do a first or third person pov in both games.... top spin is okay. my friends like it, but i suck. if you like tennis i'm sure it'd be pretty cool, too.


Posted by ricky on Feb-26-2005 11:39:

no way man-- ninja g. is amazing. i think xbox is starting to come up with quality games.


Posted by pyro on Feb-28-2005 06:45:

the grand theft auto double pack, only reason i bought a ps2 way back when. now it looks even better on xbox

true...
now we need vice!


Posted by wizniz on Mar-28-2005 22:24:

...p.s.

why do you need to "babysit" a piece of hardware?

who's the windbag...?

without trying to sound biased, i would throw in star wars knights of the old republic 1 and 2

Wow. How could I forget these gems of games?

The XBOX counterparts actually rule over the PC versions. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Especially since you get to XBOX Live it and that you can be a Jedi or a Sith.
