Best non sport xbox games

What are the must have non sport games for xbox? Not for the 360 but the old xbox.

I know Halo and Halo 2 are on the list.

Prince of Persia Series

Indigo Prophecy
: it's an interactive movie more than anything, I played through it as Fahrenheit which is the same game with two sex scenes and some excess nudity in one of the extras. Very engrossing game, even if the ending isn't up to par.

Burnout 3: not really a sport game, most fun arcade racer, period.

Far Cry Instincts: Great despite poor AI, cheap too.

Splinter Cell
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory


Conker: Live and Reloaded (If you haven't played the n64 version)

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2x (I know it's an antique, but I had more fun with this rendition (as 2 on the DC) than any of the others, even if it is a little dated these days..may be considered a sports game)

The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay (one of my favorites)

The GTA games (3, VC, San Andreas) are well liked as well.

I think I'm the only person that wasn't a big fan of KotOR, but then I was never a fan of Star Wars.

KOTOR and Halo series are the best. Some of the others mentioned above are good.

Lots of multiplatfrom games like Beyond Good and Evil, Prince of Persia, etc. to check out.

Yeah, I sold mine years ago but I may buy it back. Especially now that I've got an HDTV. I'll bet it looks awesome on an HDTV.

If you have some extra controllers and a few friends, Hunter: The Reckoning series is great for multi-player.

Most of my faves are mentioned, but I will second their votes:

Chonicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay
Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time
Burnout 3
Beyond Good & Evil

Add KOTOR (I never played, but it has garnered much praise), and you have five of the best games on the system, from five different genres. Not to mention they can all be had really cheap and will keep you busy for a while.

Indigo Prophecy <-- as much as I like it (and typed about in my last thread) this one is definitely a rental til the price comes down, it's just too short/easy. Though I'd like to support the developers, I never have $40 laying around to support em. Great game though.

The only reason I haven't sold my Xbox is because of some choice Sega exclusives.

Jet Set Radio Future
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Gunvalkyrie
Otogi & Otogi 2

That's a very subjective question. Everyone likes different types of games. For me it would be Morrowind. If I never owned any other xbox game, it would be worth the cost of the system and game just to play it. I think I've logged over 500 hours into it since it was first released back in 02.

I second Morrowind. Unreal Championship 2 is a blast if first/third person shooters are your thing.

Just reading the review on Phantom Dust. Sounds like the perfect game. Besides I was wanting a card game.
