Oh, it destroys your hands, every time. But that's alright, because you won't find another 3D score-based game that's even half as fun. The ends justify the means.Speevy said:I love the "how it's designed" Gunvalkyrie crowd.
Which way should you play it so it doesn't hurt your thumbs? Because that's...you know...AWFUL game design.

Top 3 games on the system, easily. Best mech game ever too (along with its sequel with online play, regardless of how broken it was).
xbox phantasy star is one of the few xbox games I kept along with my old xbox up in the attic, can't beat some 4 player split screen pso with friendsTheSeks said:But that has a remake on the 360 (for better/worse).
Phantasy Star Online. What makes the wound hurt worse is Sega pouring salt into it, not making it BC by strong-arming MS and shutting the XBL servers down.
That does suck, but you can still play PSO Blue Burst (PC) without any trouble. More content + still quite a few people playing regularly.TheSeks said:Phantasy Star Online.

The save deletion is really over exaggerated; you have plenty of time to hit the eject button. It's not like you have to be anticipating death or something to get out in time :lolToo bad you can't play it without the asshuge controller + DELETING SAVES IF YOU DON'T EJECT IN TI--

Both of these run like shit on 360 - and they're stellar games. I think I might go for the PC versions, though. Kotor 2 got a fan patch recently if I ever want to play that.
Same deal with Jade Empire, but then there's a PC version of that too.

But really:
I remember it being an awesome game when it came out. Don't know how it holds up today honestly.

The controller (and foot pedals) is part of what makes it awesome.

I recently got an original big old xbox to play Stranger's Wrath again. (I think it's getting re-released, but it was $30 at goodwill, so I don't mind having another system around)
And I was trying to find lists of the best non-BC (or poorly emulated on 360) Xbox games, but nothing was coming up. (and the search function here seems to not work)
So this is what I can think of off the top of my head - any other recommendations?
Of course.
Unplayable on 360 B/C and better than the PS2 version? Maybe?

Both of these are not Backwards Compatible. i might pick them up because I quite enjoyed Hell's Highway.
I dunno how much this is worth re-visiting, but I really enjoyed this game when I found it cheap back in 2005 or so.
This is what those batman guys were doing before they made the 2009 GOTY. Good reviews, but I dunno how it aged.
And some others I've found-
(the gamecube version has mario, luigi etc. but probably worse controls)
Any other underrated games I've missed? I mostly got the xbox to fool around with hacking it for the downstairs tv, but it'd be nice to pick up some forgotten xbox 1 games.
Why oh why can't this game be BC? Now I have to wait until it's on XBLA if that even actually happens.digita1alchemy said:
Shenmue 2 is BC on the 360.....i should know I have it and played it on both the x box and 360schick85 said:Shenmue 2
They're just not a very user-centric company. Everything you can do on an XBox 360 has the potential to generate revenue. The games in this thread didn't sale very well on the original XBox so they don't have much sales potential as a downloadable classic title either.Teknoman said:Well at least Stranger is coming to the PC. Still not sure why MS couldnt just keep up BC updates.
EDIT: Jet Set Radio Future is BC.

Wait, what? Why would you think it would screw up your entire hard drive? It just means that you get a game over and have to start a new Steel Battalion save. The same thing happens if you fail/eject too many times and run out of money (as you get funding based on completing missions, and have to pay to replace the VT you scrapped).TheSeks said:I've been curious about it, but not hardcore enough to risk nuking my whole X-box hard-drive if I screwed up ejecting (and don't you have to break the glass to eject?).
JKTrix said:I'd still really like to play Metal Wolf Chaos.
Would have been nice if they included it as an extra in Ninja Blade or something...
Wow zero mentions for Spikeout Xtreme.

TheSeks said:I'm sure it isn't bad. But after I heard the save deletion thing (+ the $200 [at the time] asking price), I was just "Uh, I'll pass."

IrishNinja said:see, PSO's a good vote, but who still plays that? i adored it on DC, but if the servers are gone, are you guys still playing it offline, or...?

The game, OK. The music, beyond fucking excellent. This game needed a lot more work but it's playable enough as it is and this is about as close to another Tobal game as we'll ever see.
That's really sad. What makes it even worse is the the few games they released afterwards were pretty cruddy.Speevy said:Voodoo Vince is the real loser. There's no way anyone will ever get to play this again without the original hardware, and the developer is gone.
