Have you seen game reviews for X-BOX 360

I watched G4's reviews of X-Box's games for the 360 and was sadly disappointed. They seem pale to the promises that were given of how great things were to come. Madden's football doesn't even have Madden doing voice overs not to mention the graphics are a far cry from what was promised. I hope that there is room to improve on the games because at this point I am not impressed! Just my opinion on what little I have seen so far, what do you think?

Re: Have you seen game reviews for X-BOX 360

Not really impressed either -- and we're not the only ones. There's no doubting the Xbox 360s power, but at this time the developers have not had enough time to really delve deep into the root of the system yet and make their titles shine. I am waiting until spring (1) until the hype of Xbox 360 dies down and (2) for PS3 to come out and make a decision as to which one to get.

Good reading. I have always been a PS fan, they seemed to cater to my needs for so many years. The promise of what X-Box offered was a great pull....but it is not yet.....now give me grand theft auto on graphics I can't imagine, well let me my pants. I do think this next generation has a lot of room to work but I will save my money right now for cigars until I see something better.

Re: Have you seen game reviews for X-BOX 360

I have Madden and Perfect Dark Zero for the 360. I've only had the console for two days now, but it lives up to the hype.

Madden is unfreakinbelievable in both game play and graphics. I didn't think Madden could get better then '06 for Xbox, I was 200% wrong...it destroys the Xbox version. Plus, I don't have to hear the annoying voice of Mr. Madden...PERFECT!

Perfect Dark Zero is also a great game that I have enjoyed so far. Great game if you like the first person shooters.

Lots of extras if you have Xbox Live to download old games such as Joust and lots of cool music/movie trailers as well. I have already burned 2 CD's onto the hard drive and can play them while playing any game...very cool as well!

The HDTV gaming is something that I thought was overhyped...I was WRONG! Simply amazing to play Madden in HD...it's just like watching football on Sunday but I get to control the players.

Xbox 360 is the real deal guys...no lie!

Re: Have you seen game reviews for X-BOX 360

I've heard good reviews, and will be grabbing one the first time the premium drops in price, and that games start to be discounted.


I think Kameo looks promising(I love the KOTOR Series, Fable and Jade Empire type games).

Also I am interested in Perfect Dark - I had the original on N64 and it's predecessor Goldeneye was perhaps the best dualing console game before the Halo Series(the Original Halo is better than Halo 2 for dualing - and let's not talk about how cool Quake was back in 1996 when we figured out how to play via tcp/ip). Hopefully the New Perfect Dark will be as cool or cooler than Goldeneye was on N64!!! I would love a remake of Goldeneye(with all the same rooms as the original and some extras) using the new platform!

Re: Have you seen game reviews for X-BOX 360

I'm pretty happy so far. I've got five games at the moment:

Condemned: Looks amazing, is scary as hell, unique gameplay. Everything is a weapon! Just awesome.

Quake 4: Looks great, plays well on the console. No difference really between this version and the PC one. Very good.

Gun: Sleeper hit. Great controls, looks pretty on 360, engrossing story, again just awesome.

Perfect Dark: Solid control scheme, strange story line, good weapon mix. Some poor level design towards the end though. Overall i'd say very good.

King Kong: If you own a 360 and don't have this game yet, stop reading and go buy it. Right now. The 360 version makes all the other one's look like crap, the game is simply beautiful. Also the game has a unique spin, as it lets you play as Jack first person, and Kong 3rd person. The Jack missions really make you think, while the Kong missions smash and give you a great sense of scale. Just awesome, my fav so far.

I have had no crashing issues and so far am very pleased (besides the fact that I waited on a six hour line to get it on my vacation). With titles like Too Human, Gears of War, Oblivion, and Dead or Alive 4 coming soon 360 is gonna really be cooking. This has to be one of the strongest launches ever.
