Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Best original Xbox game besides Halo 1/2

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath, Ninja Gaiden, Shenmue 2 and Doom 3.

Otogi and Riddick are two of a few special Xbox games that dont get mentioned often.

Riddick: Butcher Bay was surprisingly good for a licensed title.

2004's Ninja Gaiden.



Fable
Splinter Cell
Riddick

were just awesome!



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Knights of the Old Republic, without a doubt for me.



Riddick was such a sleeper hit, such a good game,

One I've wanted to try for years but never got around to is Panzer Dragoon Orta.

I really enjoyed the original on the Saturn.

Should pick it up one of these days, though it's always risky grabbing a disc game that old, you never know if it'll have a scratch that renders it unplayable.

Buy the digital version, cheapest way to get it. Its not groundbreaking, but an enjoyable game.

I actually played through it about a year ago. Its a short game so I may revisit it on the X1.

For me, its Ninja Gaiden.

Its the most replayable, not heavily story driven (good pacing), and the graphics were amazing at the time.

Gaiden. 1 was the better game but 2 was the better gameplay. DoA was and is still the most fluid fighter to date. Splinter Cell was great from beginning to end. Riddick was cool and many others but the 3 aforementioned titles were my fave.

 

Edit: 3d fighter..regarding DoA

I would, but I don't have an Xbone, and doesn't Microsoft lock you out of buying games digitally unless you pay a subscription for Xbox Live?
