It's great. If you have played ANY of the Battlefield series... you will be disapointed. It is NOTHING like those... but it is a good, arcade style shooter with lots of military action!

Halo - Halo 2 - COD 2 Bid Red One - Gun - Call Of Duty - Thaw [aint that good really but still a must have game.



My best out of all them games has to be the halo series. I would also recommend you get the collecters games and multiplayer and map packs. Halo 2 is also no doubt the best live enabled xbox original game ever. Gun has to be another best game. Neversoft have done well to produce this game as most of their other games have been TH. Although wasteland is live enabled, i wouldn't recommened it, as you can get bored really easily and quikly. Most people will not agree with me, but i say COD 2 is better then Big Red One. I really think its a bit silly releasing them both at the same time when you can just by the original COD 2.

And I must disagree with the comment that you need this game. Yes it was once great and fun but it is old so be warned...

Yeah, I can see the list now. Well, if you're looking for games that pack a lot of content and guarantee months of gameplay I'd say RPGs are a good bet. Check out titles like Fable, Jade Empire and X-Men Legends. Shooters like Rid**** and Darkwatch will keep you coming back for more, and Doom 3 and Half Life 2 actually live up to the all hype they've received. The best horror title for Xbox (IMO) is Fatal Frame II CB: DC. Even though essentially all you do in the game is zap ghosts with a high-powered camera, it's genuinely frightening (especially when played in FPS mode). If stealth games are what you're into then any of the Splinter Cells will do nicely, and some games like Manhunt, Psi-Ops, and Hitman 2 do a great job of blending third person action with stealth tactics affording you a choice on how to effectively complete your missions. Gun is a western that's a big step up from Red Dead Revolver with better graphics and story. Fighters like DOA Ultimate and MK: Deception are great both on and offline. Forza Motorsport is a really good driving sim. I hope I helped you out some. Any one of these titles is worth owning since they tend to not only define their respective genres, but transcend them as well. Peace Out!

You need GTA:SA it is so much better than 3 and vice.

Some good games to play with a bunch of mates are:
Timesplitters 3
NBA street (2 or 3)
Halo 1 and 2 obviously
NFS:MW

Give either of the Knights Of The Old Republic games a try. There's hours of fun there. For a challenge I recommend Dead To Rights. This game is HARD! Other good cops and robbers titles: True Crime: Streets Of L.A., Max Payne, and any of the GTA games...

One of the most fun shooters I've played is the original Serious Sam. The gameplay can be hectic, but that's a good thing, and the colorful graphics make it all seem like some hyper-violent cartoon. A great change of pace after so many 'dark' FPS games. Not that that ever gets old...
