As the title says I recently got an Xbox, I got Halo 1/2, Counter Strike, JSRF/SegaGT, and Ninja Gaiden. I am a big Sonic fan so I know of the games that came out for it and intend on getting them. I mostly grew up with Nintendo, SEGA, Playstation so I don't really know too much about Xbox in general. I know there are certain games like SMT NINE and the port of Half-Life 2 I want to play, but ultimately I just want the good ol "OG Xbox experience"
So what are some games that made the Xbox so iconic back in it's heyday?
some of my favorites you might want to try (depending on the genres you like) include:
Panzer Dragoon Orta (third person Rail Shooter and IMO one of the best games ever made, but hard as balls as it goes on) Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast (racing, still my favorite racer ever), Dead or Alive 2 and 3 (fighting) plus its volleyball spinoff Extreme, Republic Commando (squad FPS), DarkWatch (FPS), Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind (RPG), Gun Valkyrie (Sega made third person shooter with awkward controls, but fun once learned), Otogi 1 and 2 (From Soft made action hack and slash based in Japanese myth/ hell), Kingdoms Under Fire- Heroes and the Crusaders (both are kinda hard to explain, kinda action/ strategy.. maybe like a musou mixed with a real time strategy?), Gungriffon- Allied Strike (mech game, part of a series), Daisenryaku 7: Modern Military Tactics (one of the very, very few english localized games in this long running series of turn based strategy, Advance Wars is a more colorful version of this series), Sid Meier's Pirates! (pirate simulator, really fun remake of an older really fun game), Spikeout- Battle Street (3D beat em up), XIII (FPS), Phantom Dust (hard to explain 3D arena fighter with powers, maybe?), and of course Ninja Gaiden
plus the other games that are available elsewhere or have better versions or everybody generally knows like Ghost Recon 1 and 2 (plus their expansions), the Splinter Cell games, Dead to Rights 1 and 2, Bloody Roar Extreme, Samurai Shodown 5, King of Fighters 2002 and 2003 as well as Neowave and Maximum Impact, Guilty Gear X2 Reload, Crimson Skies, Crimson Sea, Arx Fatalis, House of the Dead 3, Outlaw Golf/ Volleyball series, Tenchu- Return from Darkness, Red Ninja- End of Honor, Vietcong- Purple Haze, Men of Valor, Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2, etc etc plus loads of great collections from Capcom, SNK, Taito, etc
