<div class="IPBDescription">not stupid games preffered</div>My friend got an X-Box and is bringing it over today. What games should we rent besides the obvious Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance & the Splinter Cell demo? Not Halo either, we've played that one.

Alas my friend has incredibly poor taste so I cannot rely on his judgement. He bought the system just to play some stupid football game... ugh.

So, what's good?

    i am one of the few that doesnt hate xbox... although i dont like it, i dont hate it. i say that you should rent timesplitters2 cause its a good multi game and toejam and earl 3 cause its funkay and splintercell cause the demo rocks. im not even sure if toejam and splintercell are out but they should be good. <b><span style='color:blue'>*static*</span></b>

    thank you so much moleculor ^_^

    but yeah i was looking forward to the robotech one too. sadly, every review slams it, and then when I saw it myself I just said "eww". Alas the legacy of "every robotech game = the suck" remains fulfilled :(

    I played some Quantum Redshift (hover racer) and Hitman2 this weekend. HM2 is awesome, but SP-only. QRS might be better for head to head renting - super fast crazy pod racer kind of game with no brakes and insanely good graphics. If you ever played the old Bullfrog title 'Wipeout' then you'll know what I mean.

    MotoGP, cuz I worked on it. I'm under 'additional programming', but I actually did the entire sound system AND all the samples :-)

    MotoGP happens to own rather nicely, IMO you should get that, and rallisport callenge, both excellent multi games

    /me lighty beats MonsE around a bit

    Psygnosis made Wipeout, not Bullfrog ... although Bullfrog did make a similar game, Hi Octane, which was horrible and is mysteriously missing from the Bullfrog '<a href='http://www.bullfrog.co.uk/uk/html/Frameset_files/games.html' target='_blank'>Games History</a>' page. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    As for X-Box games, TimeSplitters 2 is quite fun in co-op ... Burnout 2 is great a game for a rent too, if it's been released on X-Box yet.

    what i dont get is why you would want to play x-box in the first place. i mean, it may have some better games then gcn and ps2, but seriously, x-box is just a horrible system

    tell me how exactly its a "horrible system?" because it has a built in hd? because it has the fastest graphics processor of all the consoles? because its big? because its made by microsoft? because it has support for 4 conrollers built in, because you dont need to buy a network adapter to connect to their service? maybe because alot of the ps2 exclusive games are being ported over with better graphics and better features? please, if your gonna bash it, make some valid arguments


    oh, and dead to rights is a good game, its very max paneish

    also if you like tonyhawk games, go pick up thps4

    First off I would like to add the Xbox is the best system out, now to the games.
    TimeSplitters 2 Rocks! Awsome coop, awsome death match, need to unlock a lot though for it to be at it's best.

    Need for speed Hot Prosuit 2-If you like racing this is it, again though you must unlock stuff for it to be really fun. But the custom sound track ability for the game adds a spark to it.

    Toe Jam and Earl3- A classic among classics if you played 1 or 2.

    Turok-Though not as good as Timesplitters 2 or Halo still ok.

    Gotham Street Racing-2 player?

    I think that's about it, I can't think of any more awsome multi games on the console. I own Halo, Timesplitters 2, Need for speed and Shenmue 2 (MUST BUY!) other than that the rest is from what I got when I rented the games, good luck and have fun <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
