    haven't played forza racing, but project gotham racing is great, for first person shooters get the likes of halo 1, 2.

    ninja gaiden (i think that's the name) is also meant to be superb.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,227 ✭✭✭gamer


    ninja gaiden black,new version easier to play.doa ultimate.psiops mindgate,any oo7 game,burnout 3, midnight club 2 and 3,dub version.farcry.sof2.serious sam 1 and 2.second sight.timesplitters 3.if u like that get 2 as well.area 51.brothers in arms.halo2.medal of honor 1,2. dont get moh rising sun.project snowblind.painkiller.call of duty.doom 3.dont get ninja gaiden 1 ,its extremely high difficulty settings,ng black new expanded version much better with extra levels.easy skill level too.red faction 2 is a good fps too.beware there are alot of mediocre games on xbox ,read reviews before you buy games,in game liffey street 3 preowned games is only 45euro.

    get forza racing,project gotham is too realistic,i think,forza has 200 cars to drive good driver a.i. too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,163 ✭✭✭✭danniemcq


    forza, Halo 1 and 2, fable and pro evo 4

    It depends what your planning to do with the x box??? If your just gona play solo games the likes of Forza, Halo and Pro-Evo. But if your planning to get x box live i would go for different games stuff like Halo and Rainbow6three black arrow and projec gothem are a must???so it really depends what you wanna get out of it whether it's single player gaming or multi player on live. I think you should wait though x-box360 is scheduled for November so i'd wait???

    get a gamecube tbh
    i've got 15 games for my xbox now and not one of them comes anywhere near the likes of metroid prime and resident evil 4

    halo 2 seems **** so far. just more of the same (which i didn't enjoy in the first one)
    ninja gaiden is a goddamned bitch whore mother****er!
    pgr2 is fairly good
    burnout 3 is a must
    midnight club 3 is a steaming pile of poo

    might check out forza myself

    Dont get either. Wait 5 months and get an Xbox 360.. pwned!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman

    Ah now Tman dont be at it. You know its not going to cost anywhere near 500 euro, 350 at most!!

    Star Wars Battlefront is a fantastic multiplayer game (Single player gets boring very quickly, but for the first day or two, its great)

    Deathrow is also a fantastic multiplayer game, single player is entertaining for several days

    Halo, is just a must. Everyone should have both Halos. Halo2 is initially disappointing but once you get into it, its very engrossing.

    Hmmm.....I used to have alot of games for my box, but I've forgotten alot of them...

    Fight Club! Despite its crap reviews, me and a friend (redhairedguy on boards) spent about 8 hours straight playing this game 2 player. Once you learn the moves, its an excellent multiplayer game, as fighting games normally go though, one player gets boring fairly quickly.

    There are just loads of games, that I can't think of right now.....
    yeah. wait 5 months to pay €500 for a console with no decent launch games...

    I can see alot of crap being in there for the launch, but PD:Z and Gears of War are launch....aren't they? And that GTA style game looks pretty decent as well...

    that game sounds like its for wasters who are crap at games


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,854 ✭✭✭Beekay


    I got the x-box,second hand,so it wasn't much.I got star wars Revenge of the sith with it for free and i bought Forza.

    I've played Project Gotham Racing before and i didn't like it at all.
    Forza is way better,the damage engine is good,and the physics when you hit
    a tyre barrier and bounce out are great.

    Panzer Dragoon Orta. Best game on the xbox.

    There really isn't much else imo except the excellent Ninja Gaiden.

    Max Payne 1 & 2
    Project Gotham Racing 2 / Burnout 3 Takedown
    Pro Evo 4
    Mercenaries
    SSX 3
