I think platform defining usually means either exclusives or titles that went unnoticed on other platforms but excelled on one, but I don't like most of the Fable, PGR (quite liked MSX on DC though), Conker, Blinx, Kotor stuff that is usually in the best of Xbox lists. So most of my favourites (Halo 1 not withstanding) probably aren't considered platform defining games but whatever.

Panzer Dragoon Orta was my favourite. I liked OutRun 2, Shenmue 2, Project Zero/Fatal Frame 1&2 ,Super Monkey Ball Deluxe, DOA2 Ultimate, Ninja Gaiden/Ninja Gaiden Black, Baldur's Gate 2, D&D Heroes, TimeSplitters 2/Future Perfect, Brute Force Jet Set Radio Future and Gun Valkyrie. I think I enjoyed Crimson Sea and Sega GT but I have very vague memories of those.

Most of these were available on other platforms and were sometimes better elsewhere. .

Never played Morrowind, Doom 3, or Half Life 2 on Xbox but I'd be interested too, probably decent versions but again not exactly Xbox defining titles since they were primarily released on PC. Lots of decent multiformat games had a port on the Xbox too.

Of course, mustn't forget DOAX Beach Volleyball
