360 hidden gems (or games worth replaying)

[Yousef]

Dante’s inferno? Star Wars force unleashed? Castlevania lords of Shadow? Braid? Lost odyssey? Blue dragon? Lost planet? The forgotten sands? Ultimate alliance? Mind over mutant? Warriors Orochi 2? Burst limit? Deathsmiles? Guwange? Bullet soul? Omega five?

Discuss.

Not a exclusive, so I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for - but I'm always happy to shill Alpha Protocol. It's a cheesy American Secret Agent vs The World style action movie in the style of a Action RPG game. I love it.

Oh, I’m not looking for anything. I think I own most of the games I mentioned. I just love the 360 so I felt compelled to hear other people’s “hidden gems” even if they’re not exclusive.
That game looks awesome though i gotta check it it.

HELL YEAH NARUTO BB LOVE THAT GAME

 

[moonbits]

Splosion Man

 

[Tronky.it]

It's not a hidden gem, but it's still a game that's rarely talked about today. Also because of the terrible sequel it had for next-gen.

 

[||REDACTED||]

Kameo
Forza motorsport 1
Fable 3

i just list exclusives here

 

[Bobmeboi]

Ace combat 6 would be my hidden gem

 

[eev]

All the Spider-Man games on the console (not exclusives!) are a genuinely good time (ok maybe not Spider-Man 3), Shattered Dimensions is a very important piece of Spider-Man history due to kickstarting the Spider-Verse and I even think The Amazing Spider-Man games are fine. The Insomniac Spider-Man games borrow tons from Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2, doesn't take much to see it.

I also think Bulletstorm is actually pretty underrated, it's like a regular shooter of the time except it has an arcade style points system that's really satisfying to push in and does manage to encourage you to play more aggressively and recklessly. It isn't exactly the retro experience they marketed, but it's instead very unique and I don't know any other game that feels like it. Also as ridiculous as it is, I love the Duke Nukem DLC, but I don't think that one's on 360.

 

[VampireLord1024]

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.

 

[RuckusMcGuckus]

Marble Blast Ultra!
I don't know why, but me and my family loved this game. It was an Xbox live arcade game where you control a marble through a series of obstacle course levels. There are even easter eggs hidden around... like literal easter eggs that you can find. Dont remember if it was necessarily good, maybe just relaxing and satisfying.

This bizarre convenience store simulator has always been something that stood out to me, it feels both out of place and time yet it exists. Good luck tracking a copy of this one though.

Ands then you have whats arguably the best iteration of Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Force stuck on a very rare Japan only release for the XBOX 360, I always wanted to own a physical copy of this one.

One thing I adored about the 360 was how it was a hub for niche Japanese titles. A lot of shmups like Omega V or Deathsmiles or Triggerheart

Tell me about it, I spent a sizable portion of my 360 years playing all kinds of lower budget Japanese niche titles that pandered to a more otaku-centric crowd. It's to anyone's guess as to why this was the case, I am left to assume that the 360 had lower development costs or fees or what have you, but boy did it ever pay out for us STG enjoyers and the like. I played so much Deathsmiles, DoDonPachi Resurrection, Gal*Gun, Raiden, Radirgy and others. It was great.
Let's not forget as well that Trouble Witches Neo had that funky localized XBLA release with the goofy dub on it, and it was great, I played this one so much in particular. I also now own the PC version of it, and its allegedly getting another release, which might be a sequel or just have updated content, I hope it's not censored.
Oh also Phantom Breaker and its spinoff, those were fun.
