360 Recomendations!

spoonz · 22 May 2007 at 19:22

Really struggling to find a game worth buying.

Still playing FIFA a bit and loved GoW. Tempted by Mr Woods' latest offering and Lost Planet?

Not keen on FPS on console, mostly sports, racing and shooty?. Any advice?

Well i was going to say R6: Vegas, really really good game, multiplayer is some of the best on 360 atm, i too am not a big fan of fps on consoles but tbh vegas changed my mind. SC

ouble agent is a v.good game if you don't have it.

I played the demo of vegas and thought it was annoying. It it not representative? or am I missing something?

Going to DL SC demo and see.

Obviously Halo, Forza, Pirates and GTAIV will have to be bought but that means waiting

Not sure never tried the demo myself, the singleplayer is an 8/10 but the multiplayer is mint. Double agent single player is tough but very good, havent played multiplayer much but many ppl like it.

Forza is out in just over 2 weeks if you can wait.

Crackdown is good fun for a while but i found it became pretty repetitive, its a good game though. I'd personally rent it if you can.

Burnout Revenge
Hitman: Blood Money
Dead Rising
Kameo (soooo underrated!)
Crackdown (best game I've played so far this year)

I thought the demo was ok, when i played to full game for an hour or two i kinda god hooked on it, but for me the game hasnt lasted that long, i'm not too interested in the street races atm, but then again i've been playing halo 3 non stop so thats a big distraction. But crackdown is hella fun, worth it second hand or cheap.

I hated the demo but the proper game of Crackdown is awesome, Keys to the City on Xbox Live can't go wrong.

Guitar Hero II, nothing else has been in my x360 since i bought it

Hitman: Blood Money is fantastic, don't go by the demo though, that is a training level, the rest of them are great. It can take ages to play a level though, trying to figure out the best way to off people.

Oh, and Oblivion. Will entertain you for months

Yh i forgot oblivion is an absolute peach of a game, kept me entertained for months until i finally completed pretty much everything you can do.

NHL 2K7 is brilliant especially against friends.

Agree, Hitman; Bloodmoney is one of my favourite games on the 360.

But my recommendation if you haven't played it is Dead Rising. Truly unique and a joy.

I am STILL waiting for a good survival horror type game. Resident Evil, Silent Hill etc... Looks like i am going to be waiting for a looooong time tho..

Funny as didnt you hate the game when you first bought it?!

I might have to pick it up, like NHL games.

I got it, played a couple of games and hated it. More the whole franchise stuff goes way above my knowledge of Ice hockey. I even MM the game, luckily with no interest. Then a mate got it and I tried an online game. Awesome. End to end fast paced action. I've played a fair bit of ranked too and always have edge of the seat games. Shooting is difficult but rewarding.

Its less than £17 and I really will only ever play it multiplayer, building a team in a master league format holds no interest for me. But for 1v1 multiplayer on live its the best game I have.

I got NBA 2k7 at the same time and by contrast it's dull and the ranked game seems to take a lifetime. As soon as i've whored the NBA ranked points I will never play it again.

Shicky · 23 May 2007 at 15:32

i was stuck deciding between NBA and NHL as a good sports game to have besides Pro evo. I played it for about an hour an havent touched it since, its DIRE compared to the old NBA2K games on the dreamcast....maybe i **** just stick with that

Saints Row is fun, although I only ever completed about 30% or so.
