My favourite game ever. I don't think anything can beat not even its sequels have beaten this (for me) and they were absolutely stellar products. Amazing soundtrack, perfect gameplay, easy to pick up and play.
It's my favourite Need for Speed game of the franchise and just can't stop playing it to this very day. The story is cheesy perfection, a douchebag villain, an asshole police officer and an attractive woman that helps you along the road of becoming the #1 most wanted street racer in Rockport the story is amazing Hollywood trash. The gameplay is very fun (despite the rubber-banding), the police chases can be ridiculously easy and frustrating but I love it. The progression system is so nicely done that I can play for hours on end. This remains the best-selling driving game in history and it's a shame that Need for Speed has lost its stride and I hope they get it back someday.
What original Xbox game had the best soundtrack in the mid-2000's? Jet Set Radio: Future of course! The controls may not be as tight and responsive as the Tony Hawk games but that's just one setback to an amazing... extreme sports game? platforming game? Whatever the genre this game I don't care, I love it. I love the art style, I love the music (obviously), I love the simple but goofy plot with the characters that revolve around it. This game might've encouraged me to wear a pair of rollerblades and learn how to ride those things. I obviously failed.
"Unbe-fucking-lievablely addicting" is a great way to describe this game. Burnout Revenge might not be the revolution that Burnout 3 was, but in the end, it changes more than enough to make it feel like a very different game. It's a technical marvel, but more importantly than that, it's one of the most exciting racing games ever made. Unless you don't have the reflexes to handle it, Burnout Revenge is a must-own game, especially for fans of online competition.
This is a childhood favourite. One that I would love to replay one day when I have the proper equipment and setup. The Xbox was my first video game console and Midtown Madness 3 was one of the first games I've ever played, and one I will never ever forget. I used to play this game with my sister, we just cruised around Washington D.C. and Paris causing mayhem. I miss those days. The current state of arcade racing games is sad for me to think about. I'll be back as an undercover agent in the future. Busting the Scandinavians and shutting down the Hot Shot Producer.
Tony Hawk's Underground was a random video game purchase with me having no knowledge of Skateboarding culture. Thank God I did because I fell in love with a new genre of gaming I have never experienced before. No matter how dated the graphics are, and how clunky some of the driving can be this game will always be one of the greatest games I've ever played.
Did I ever tell you how frustrating and anger inducing the A.I. rubber-banding is in races? That feeling pre-relief when you're in first place and about to cross the finish line but then you hit an oncoming car and your opponents who were miles behind just swoop right past you and take your place. Then you restart the race again, and again and again and you keep in failing until you just give up and throw your controller into the wall and fucking scream your lungs out?! That's how I feel playing this game and despite all of that... I love this game to bits.
EA why the Hell did you stop making kick ass extreme sports games? The game is a phenomenally huge, entirely impressive, incredibly polished, and a finely crafted piece of software. SSX 3 offers an insane amount number of challenges, near-limitless replay value, and tight gameplay from start to finish. Easily the best game in the series, soundtrack, gameplay, characters, graphics, everything, just great!
One of the first games I have ever played in my life. An underrated racing game that gets overlooked by its sequels and other driving games that would release over the years. I will never forget the original, it holds a special place in my heart. This game has the most satisfying handling of any arcade racer. It's downright insane to think this arcade racer from 2001 blows virtually all modern racing games of it's genre out of the water like this. It has all the responsiveness and intuitive weighty drifting that has been missing from any of the modern racing titles. The kudos system is also pretty unique, essentially encouraging, and later on, requiring you to drive like you're doing a gykhana shoot at all times. It can of course also be highly frustrating but the challenge does make it all the more relieving when you do nail the combos just right.
Blinx 2. It received mostly average reviews across the board when it released in 2004. It was greatly overshadowed with the release of other games that year. The game is relatively easy, it lacks depth. This game is so handhold-y the entire time you play through it and it doesn't even loosen its grip. The game thinks for you and makes it extremely easy. The boss fights are a joke and you can beat them with ease. Blinx 1 was hard and frustrating but when you beat a level and its bosses you felt so good about it. But that wasn't here in Blinx 2 and you can beat it in one sitting. But despite its flaws... I loved it. I loved the gameplay of using a time sweeper to suck environmental objects and shoot it at enemies, I loved that you can play as the bad guys (the Tom Tom Gang they're called in the game) and I loved that you can create your own teams for both the bad guys and good guys. The game times you on how many hours you've played on your selected profile and in 5 or 6 different profiles the timers have been maxed out 99:99:99. So I've spent approximately more than 500 hours in this game and it still remains the most time I've spent playing a game.
