Why are you asking this again? Where you not around in 2000? The answer is Tekken Tag Tounament, Street Fighter EX3, Ridge Racer V, Dynasty Warriors 2, SSX, Madden 2001, and Kessen. None of these titles kept my interest long enough before ebaying the thing in June 2000....

Again I will answer the question as Xboxers we are playing SSX Tricky, Amped Snowboarding, Halo, Max Payne, NFL Fever 2002, NFL 2K2, Madden 2002, NHL 2002, NBA Inside Drive, Transworld Surf, Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams, blood Wake, Project Gotham, Munch, DOA 3, Nascar Thunder, Nascar Heat, F1 2002, and other great games.
And chances are he's already played and finished a vast majority on a PS2 already. The examples are SSX Tricky, Max Payne, NFL2k2, Madden, NHL, Silent Hill 2, Nascar, and F1. All these games have been out on PS2 months before the Xbox was even launched. I doubt he'll take that list seriously...

Now let's take it to another level. What were Ps2 owners playing 6 months after launch? Ewwwwww GT 3 finally made its way and you don't even want me to answer this question in terms of the Xbox. Ok I will anyways. All of the games above plus Morrowind, Gun Valkyrie, UFC: Tapout, Hunter: The Reckoning, Sega GT 2002, Spy Hunter, soul Ccaliber 2, Jet Set Radio Future, Transworld Snowboarding, Unreal Championsip, GTA 3, THPS3, NBA 2K2, Brute Force, Rallisport Challenge, House of the Dead 3, MOH: Allied Assault, Blood Omen 2, Street Hoopz, and other greats. Again after this list I would be embarrassed to name off the Ps2's library too (after 6 onths).
I won't even answer your question here, due to the mountainslide of PS2 games that were available by then in early 2001. Instead I'll just post more Xbox games that were on PS2 awhile ago: Spy Hunter, GTA 3, THPS3 (online, unlike Xbox and GCN versions), NBA 2k2, Blood Omen 2, and Medal of Honor. SCII, JSRF, UC, and Gun Valkyrie will also make their way to the PS2 before or on the Xbox game's debut.

This is my point. If you get a Ps2 now because your Xbox is getting old then compare what was on the Ps2 to what was on the Xbox early on and you can know what to expect in the future. Time isn't going to just suddenl stop and in 4 months your Ps2 is going to be the system collecting dust so waste your money.
I'm not even going to touch this one since it's such a biased statement. Wasting his money? In most people's eyes shelling out 300+ for a game is considered "wasting money", and the Xbox is not exempt from this...

Also you say there are no good adventure or RPG games coming to the Xbox?
OK, now I really get the hint that you are talking to me, and you've confused yourself. Did I say, "there are no good adventure or RPG games coming to the Xbox"? Thank you. And for further evidence, I even pointed to Project Ego and Morrowind as major titles I plan to buy. How could you get such an obvious statement twisted?
Quote:
Well I gave a list of RPG's and there are about 10 more coming but here are some good adventure games coming or already here.
Munch
Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon
Enclave
Fellowship of the Ring
Xavier Fox
Shenmue 2 (adventure/RPG)
Hunter: The Reckoning
Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams
Chaka: The Forever Man\
Blood Omen 2
Dino Crisis 3
and several others. Are you telling me you would rather play Jak and Daxter then Shenmue 2 or Enclave? Get a grip.
Man you're one misled puppy. My whole point of advising J98 and Virazslo to stick with PS2 was because of RPG's, which they both appear to favor heavily. And in case you didn't know, PS2 already has 20+ available, compared to the 10 you have listed. And this list isn't even correct- Dino Crisis isn't an adventure game, neither is Silent Hill. And wasn't K-X what happened to the Bruce Lee game? I'd swear it is a fighter....You should have listed Have a Mice Day, Fate, BloodRayne, and Pirates of Skull Cove as exclusive adventure examples. BTW, the only "true" RPG's slated for Xbox are Fate, Morrowind, Project-Ego, and Enclave.

Also you said the Xbox doesn't have any good fighters. Go look at some DOA 3 reviews and then look at TTT or T4 reveiws and tell me the same thing. As far as I am concerned Mortal Kombat 5, DOA 3, Ninja Gaiden, DOA 4, and Soul Caliber 2 is the best line up of fighters coming to any console IMO. Then there are boxing games such as Ready 2 Rumble 2x, Knockout Kings 2002, Rocky, and Mike Tyson's Heavyweight Boxing.
I'll say this one more time: PS2 has more fighting games out now than Xbox has slated for 2002, and then some. Mike Tyson, Knockout Kings, SCII, MK5, T4, and VF will or a have already been on PS2. I am a fighting fan, and I've played half of these games in arcades before developers even thought of console porting. Which is why I can tell you lacking Guilty Gear, CvS, MvC, VF, and Rival Schools franchises is a serious mistake for Xbox and GameCube (although CvS3 may still be in the works for GCN). DOA3 is, to the average and advanced fighting fan, merely DOA2 with 2 more characters gameplaywise. And if you've read those "reviews", they'll tell you that too. Ninja Gaiden is NOT a fighting game, in case your new to that NES series, and is slated for a GCN debut first, and then all consoles if Tecmo decides. Dude, you've got ALOT of stuff mixed up. Fix it.

Don't give us this bs you will be sorry in the long run.
I rest my case with the Xbox is getting the better version of most of the Ps2's best third party titles and the Xbox has a better first party of games such as Halo, or exclusives such as JSRF, HOTD 3, Sega GT 2002, DOA 3 and 4, Fever, Amped, Munch, Brute Force, Project Ego and the list goes on.
One more thing you have the nerve to compare PD's multi player to Halo's (and don't even try to compare single player) when you can not only play 16 player LAN with Halo but you can play it online, and you can play four people with their OWN screens or even with a four way split screen Halo is better. Let's see you get in several different vehicles in PD's multi player or let's see you even find me in some of the multi player levels of Halo since they are so big, let's see you race in a capture the flag or king of the mountain game with a jeep in PD. PD is a good game and you have more weapon features but weapons can be added to Halo and it doesn't need any more since needlers, rocket launchers, plasma rifles, plasma pistols, human pistols, sniper rifles, 8 guage shot gun, plasma grenades, marine grenades, are enough for me not to mention most of them have two features and the several different vehicls can be considered weapons. Give me a break.
It is obvious to me now that you didn't read my post at all, you just searched for words to bash, because you've said THE EXACT SAME THING I HAVE, and tried to prove the same point. Where should I begin? Didn't I already say that Halo is online and PD isn't? Didn't I already say that PD has more features? Jeez. PD has more multiplayer options, period.
You can play capture the flag in PD and Halo, but how many stages can you do it in? Sure, the stages are smaller in PD, but 30 stages to chose from, programmable and editable bots, a plethora of modes and difficulties, and heaps of weapons destroy Halo here. And yes, 16 people can play Halo on one screen; I found this out first-hand October 2001. How many modes can you do with this, though? And how many weapons? Are there any bots? I won't go any further on this, as the rest is obvious. And btw, I also said that if you like more fast-paced action, then Halo would appeal to them more...why are you throwing your opinion into this? I'm merely suggesting things for the thread starter, and you're enforcing them. Microsoft will NOT send you a paycheck. Get over it.

Other good FPS's coming to the Xbox.
Doom 3
Unreal Championship
Alien VS Predator 2
MOH: Allied Assault
Return to Castlwolfenstien
Halo
Agent Under Fire (Ps2 version is utter crap)
Duke Nukem Forever
Bounty Hunter
Enclave
Cthul
Battlefeild 1942
Panzer Dragoon
and I am sure there are others, don't even use Red Faction in the same sentence as these FPS's.
You forgot to mention Quake 4 and Unreal 2 since you're mentioning rumored games like Doom 3 and RTCW. Enclave and Panzer Dragoon are more like RPG's, and Agent Under Fire for both GameCube and Xbox will also be "utter crap", since EA's said they've done nothing new to the engine but graphic updates. Man, you've redefined the term "misinformed"....:rolleyes:
One major question: who are you quoting? You quoted yourself here, yet you seem to speak of some of my advice to J98 and Virazslo in your "rebuttal". If you are indeed talking to me, then hello, and know your stuff before you mouth off. You own this console, yet know so little about it's titles...disturbing...:(
