What are the best classic Xbox games to go with a 360? I read a suggestion of Ninja Gaiden: Black in another thread and was looking for more suggestions.

Basically, any well-regarded game that is 100% compatible for the 360 that you could suggest would be great.

I have a few 360 games, but would love to be able to pickup some cheaper games. It seems a lot of the Xbox games are quite cheap these days and whenever possible I like to be a cheapskate.

Thanks!

well, Halo 2 of course :-)


Here's the list

Doom 3, Fable, and the two Simpsons games are worth it.

Anyone know if that Cthulhu game is any good?

Fable
Ninja Gaiden
Knights of the Old Republic

To bad Soul Calibur II isn't backwards compatiable.

I didn't like doom 3 much on the xbox. Just too dark. It might be better on pc but I never got a chance to play it. I'd stick with the halos assuming you haven't played them before.

KOTOR and Jade Empire are a must. KOTOR 2 is ok, but in the end I was left feeling unfulfilled. Top Spin is great but you may as well pay a bit extra for the 360 sequel.

Some of the old sega games that I don't believe are working yet are Jet Set Radio Future, Panzer Dragoon Orta, and Gun Valkyrie, which are all pretty cool in their own way.

It's excellent if you're familair with the HP Lovecraft mythos and are into old style survival horror (ie a lot puzzles, figuring out stuff, not a lot of fighting - until towards the end.)

I had a blast with it, but it's hard as heck.

Sounds like a winner, thanks! Supposed to be compatible with
the 360 so if I see a copy around I will definitely pick it up.

Lesse, besides the already mentioned, there are:

Baldur's Gate - Dark Alliance II
Black
Call of Cthulhu
Darkwatch
Dead the Rights
GTA III, Vice City & SAn Andreas
Max Payne I & II
Pirates!
Star Wars - Battlefront I & II
Star Wars - Knights of the Old REpublic I & II
Stubbs the Zombie
The Suffering
True Crime - Streets of LA
X-Men Legends I & II

There are more, but those are the one I have that I enjoy.

Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox is one of the best action games of all time.

The Splinter Cell games are also great. Even if you have played them on another console, they are vastly different (and better) on the Xbox. They were designed for the Xbox hardware and "dumbed" down for the less powerful PS2/Cube hardware.

The Bioware RPGs (KOTOR, Jade Empire) are great.

Fable is a decent Zelda style game.

Max Payne 1 and 2 are great third person shooters.

Not sure about the other stuff on your list, but I don't think X-Men Legends I or II is compatible with the 360...

I'll echo the recommendation of Stubbs the Zombie. That game was really funny, had a great soundtrack, and was enjoyable to play as well.

I've wanted to find Baldur's Gate II used for a long time and never ever came across it for a decent price. My wife loved playing the first one (it was one of the only games she would sit and play).
