Microsoft's debut effort in the console space was a real powerhouse in its day.

Which game on it do you think had the best graphics?

I thought the original Splinter Cell looked amazing. Especially compared to the Gamecube and PS2 versions that came out later.

Ninja Gaiden Black has the benefit of being a good-looking game while also being fluent, frenetic and chaotic without ever toning down its graphical qualities. It deserves a special mention, because that game was an achievement in itself.

Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay pretty much looks like an early seventh gen game (like Condemned), so that game should win by default.

Panzer Dragoon Orta

Yeah, it's between Splinter Cell and Riddick for me.

Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive Xtreme.

Also Conker.

Elder scrolls

Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay for me ...

Not only were the graphics amazing but the scripting felt like it was on the verge of a new gen ...

haven't played chronicles of riddick but i wish i had now. Blood wake was gorgeous. Of the one's i played on that list I will give it to Ninja Gaiden Black.


The best game of it's genre still over a decade after it perfected it. Polished graphics on top.

Conker gets my vote.

I swear that game looks like an early Xbox 360 title. Best lighting and effects of the generation in my book.
