    I don't know if it's going to be a masterpiece but the new Prince of Persia has gotten fairly good reviews. The first 2 (especially the first one) were very good games also.

    Edit: Ok it's not getting a 360 release but if there are no other 360 games you like the look of I'd reccommend Prince of Persia... although I know the 360 has some problems with backwards compatibility. Surely all new Xbox games will work on the 360?

    I think PGR3 is the best launch game, played it yesterday and it was quality. I also like the look of Prince of Persia but i've never played any of the previous ones except for the origional.

    Call of duty 2 will be next on my list anyways. I want to rent games first though but my local xtravision doesnt have any to rent. Anyone know if they will be renting them out soon?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,653 ✭✭✭steviec


    PGR3 definitely looks the pick of the bunch. I got it and PDZ and I think Perfect Dark has gotten a total of 20 minutes play time, I'm actually considering bringing it back and getting COD, but for the moment I don't want to play anything other than PGR.

    Need For Speed looks really good but two racing games might be a bit much. COD, Condemned, and King Kong are probably your best bets.

    COD2 is my favourite. I havent got the XBOX but its the best so far.

    I got PD0, PGR3, Kameo, and Madden 06

    Best so far probably Madden although i've always loved the series.

    Second would be PGR3, amazing game.

    Kameo and PD0 ive played for maybe 20 minutes total combined,

    Maybe when im done with PGR and Madden i'll have a look at them.

    Dont really know what im gonna go for next, have COD2 for PC so no need to get that.

    Xtra-Vision won't be renting 360 games until sometime next year. Until the user base is substantial I suppose.

    I have PD0 and COD2. COD2 is the best by a mile, both for single player and multi-player. PD0 is uber-disappointing.

    what about the need for speed game? is it any good?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,202 ✭✭✭Swifty


    Isnt that available on the PS2 and original Xbox also.. sounds like a rushy port job to meh


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,653 ✭✭✭steviec


    Need for Speed got really good reviews... It's available to download on xbox live in demo form if you want to give it a try.

    Right now though I don't want another racing game, Project Gotham is keeping me very busy!

    I'm having a lot of fun with Kameo, its maybe a bit too short, I think I'm nearly finished already, but thats partly because I haven't stopped playing it since I got it :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,463 ✭✭✭KTRIC


    I downloaded Need For Speed demo and I have to say it's the best I've seen yet. The gameplay and graphics blow PGR3 out of the water.

    I'm hearing many great things about NFS on the 360. I still haven't played it on any platform. Eurogamer say it's a must-have title for the 360.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    Okay, NFS:MW rocks. Love it so far.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,420 ✭✭✭WellyJ

    Now to get meself a hard drive so I can actually save my progress

    NFS is unbelievable!
    The graphics are amazing, I've played the normal xbox version, and bought the 360 version, and the difference is staggering!
    The graphics are amazing, and the story is really well thought out for a NFS game.
    You can modify cars better than any previous game in the series, and the choice of cars is much better too. (Austin Martin DB9 Drool!!!)
    Definaely my fav game sofar.
    Gun is good too.
    Like GTA but with cowboys!!!

    One company NFS doesn't have...Ferrari. (drools) :)

    any one play xbox 360 version of quake 4 its brilliant really hooked on it


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,679 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Quake 4, not bad, plays a bit too much like Doom3 for my liking though, but its still a damn sight better than the one I exchanged to get it, Perfect Dark 0. As for NFSMW, its just a glossier port of the other formats versions, with that car modding crap, I really thought we were in for a new NFS game instead of a continuation of that mind numbing Underground crap, so far the only one of those that interests me is Juiced, and not the one released over here, the US one is much much better, a more realistic handling model, front wheel drive and rear wheel drive feel so different, but these can't hold a candle to NFS Hot Pursuit 2 on the PS2 the best of the series, and Burnout Revenge trounces them all, looking forward to the 360 edition of that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,719 ✭✭✭kaisersose77


    I wouldnt hold out any hope for any early EA ports, all seem to be glossed up xbox ports with less options.

    So NFS is amazing because great graphics and lots of cars and modding. What about the actual game part, where you drive the cars, does that not matter?

    Nope, was supposed to be in the states but release has been pushed back yet again. So its very unlikely they'll see it this year never mind us.
