First off, the Xbox rocks, its all I expected and more, I am indeed pleased. The system and interface is top notch. Here is the list of games I purchased and my impressions:
Halo: purely awesome, very engrossing, especially if you read the novel prequel to it. Graphics are superb, controls become easy after an hour or two, enemy AI is very well done, difficult. I am playing on Normal mode, and at points it was very hard, especially trying to get to the the gravity lift to board the enemy ship. This game is a winner!
DOA3: Graphics are jaw dropping, game play is easy and smooth. Story mode is brief and unfulfilling though. But for pure fighting it doesn't get much better. This is a multiplayer game, single mode is only good for honing skills, but its still a winner overall.
Project Gotham Racing: Sweet graphics, good physics and real driving feel. Kudos system is cool. My biggest complaint is the interface, it is not clear all the time and not intuitive on how you go through and advance, overall, sweet racing title, as good as I have ever played!
NFL Fever: Pure NFL Bliss!!! This was better than I could have ever expected. Much smoother playing than Madden, easier to pick up the finer points, WAY better graphics, balanced play, it really makes you feel part of the game, as animations are much more complete and smooth. Must have for any football fans!!!
(I have played Madden 2002 as well)
Mad Dash Racing: I have spent the least time with this game so far of my bundle, just played one trial course. The graphics are just what you expect from this type of game, very nice. Gameplay is fast and fluid. I just can't say alot yet, need to play it more. Looks like it will be a fun head to head racer, I doubt it will have much for single player.
Xbox ROCKS, if you don't have one, Get One!!!
