The sixth generation of consoles is often revered as one of (if not the) best. It was a time of innovation, and many of the series still running today either started or grew in popularity on consoles like the original Xbox. If you spend hours on end engrossed in modern console multiplayer games, you have the original Xbox to thank as it paved the way for Xbox Live and online console gaming as a whole before the Xbox 360 really took things up a notch.
But the original Xbox also has a lot else to remember it fondly for. The ability to rip and play your CDs was almost unheard of for consoles at the time, especially when you could play them as soundtracks in-game. The built-in storage also negated the need for those pesky memory cards, and the game’s vast, vast array of weird and often memorable exclusives will likely never be seen again. Also, that original Duke controller got a whole generation of kids into powerlifting - just look at the monster.
We’re revisiting Microsoft’s inaugural console with a breakdown of original Xbox titles that are still beloved today for good reason. Thanks to backwards compatibility, remakes, and remasters, we still have easy access to most (if not all) of the best original Xbox games.

@ConkerTS 4 месяца назад

This is a great list, but Breakdown, the first person shooter/melee/adventure should have been included, as it's a really good game, and pretty unique. It's only real flaw being that at times it can be offputtingly hard, since it's difficulty curve is basically a vertical brick wall that is peppered with even more difficult spikes. It's rewarding to play, though.

@lurkerrekrul 7 месяцев назад

Thief: Deadly Shadows - On the downside, the levels were much smaller than in the previous games, broken up into distinct load zones that the NPCs couldn't cross, Garrett lost the ability to swim, and he lost the ability to use rope arrows in favor of limited use climbing gloves. Those last two apparently being limitations imposed by deigning it for the Xbox first and foremost. Oh, also making the UI elements, like highlighting valuable objects, much more blatant. Project Gotham Racing - This may sound silly, but the guardrails everywhere really bug me. They're so out of place on what are supposed to be city streets, that they're annoyingly distracting to me. Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast - I liked the game (Windows), but like pretty much all games made by Raven Software, I hate the way that they put cutscenes in the middle of levels. One moment you're walking along, and the next, you're watching a cutscene. Why do you have to watch these moments in immersion-breaking third person? Why can't you experience these bits of dialog while still in control of your character? Half-Life is considered one of the greatest games ever made, and it has no cutscenes at all. OK, maybe the part where you're captured, but even that is from a first-person perspective.

Just some constructive criticism: It's impossible to make a top 10 list of best original Xbox games without both Halo 1 and 2 on it let alone a top 20 but this list somehow only has Halo 2. Footage used is just lazy since you're using from other sources that don't convey the true quality of games such as Burnout 3 in 480p at 60fps and the Halo 2 footage used is all from Halo 2 Anniversary.

@CulturedVultures 7 месяцев назад

We only include one game per series across these lists to make sure there's enough variety and to change things up, it'd just be hella boring to have Halo 1 and 2 in like the top 3 imo, same reason why we don't have Majora and OOT on N64, more than one FF on PS1/PS2 etc etc

For me Advent Rising is one of the saddest lost opportunities for a great franchise ever. The rushed rollout leading to a buggy game and a half assed contest that basically ended on the first day of release with no money ever actually paid out for it. Ruined the gam for a lot of people but for me playing through it despite the flaws the story was fantastic and the game ended on a cliffhanger that has never been resolved.
