Man you are single handily keeping memories of the original Xbox alive. Really important for historical reference.
Timesplitters 2 always feels like the Goldeneye of the 6th gen of consoles, the true sequel of goldeneye 64.
Breakdown is one of my top gems from the original Xbox, I remember playing it at random after a school day and was hooked. The story was absolutely stunning as well as the immersion. Thanks for including it. I have some of the fondest memories with Return to Castle Wolfenstein on the Xbox next to Halo.
I tried a demo of it on an OXM demo disc and was freaking enthralled. I immediately rented it, then bought it shortly after. Such an underrated absolute classic.
I like it but it gets so hard, had to step away.
Time splitters multiplayer mode is what makes it shine for me, it had deathmatches and fun modes like infected. got some good memories of that game.
_Deus Ex: Invisible War_ is pure stupid fun, and the best entrance to the series, while teaching you (the player) about the biggest conspiracy of all....
I have a soft spot for that one because I love the Deus Ex franchise.
My first deus ex 😊
The most overhated Deus Ex game!
One of my favorite Xbox games. I never understood the hate.
@@WolfyRagnarokit’s a good game but not a worthy sequel to what is perhaps the greatest immersive sim ever, the original Deus Ex. It’s kinda of similar to what AC: Odyssey is to the original AC formula; I love that game, but it’s really just an open world “rpg” with the AC brand slapped on.
Just started playing Timsplitters 1 and have 2 in the que. Man how did I miss a good title the story has actually made me laugh a few times really good gem
Excellent video showcasing fantastic Xbox shooters! I added "Pariah" to my original Xbox buy-list, thanks for the recommendation! I adore "Black" & "Wolfenstein RTC: Tides of War", incredible shooters! "Operation Resurrection" on the PS2 is a even better single player game with more RPG upgrades & hidden areas with Gold you can use in upgrades.
Thanks for your nice comment! I've never played Operation Resurrection I might have to try that soon!
@campxbox That PS2 game & "Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2" are that rare case where the PS2 version is better than the original Xbox port believe it or not. Typically the Xbox version is always the better looking & performing ports.
That's right! Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2 plays very differently on the PS2 compared to the Xbox version. Never played it on PS2 though. Apparently, the game is much harder on Xbox
I am SO glad someone finally acknowledged the existence of Breakdown. Absolutely one of my all-time favourite games, and yet no one's ever heard of it lol. I would love a modern remake--especially in VR.
I effin loved Breakdown. Save for the final Escape scene and Nexus.
@@NotackaSolus is low-key one of my favourite villains in a game, and that first-person fistfighting was just *chef's kiss*
Pariahs map editor was so interesting aswell for us map making lovers and dont get me wrong time splitters map editor also scratched that itch. On another note black was such a beautiful when i first plays it. The graphics were something else.
Yeah I used to mess around in map editors for days when I was growing up. Also thank you for becoming a member of the channel I really appreciate it!
Timesplitters 2 is still one of my favorite fps to this day.
I got an Xbox 360 last year and I'm in awe discovering all the classic Xbox games that I missed out and damn what a machine this was!
Pariah had some nice effects none had at the time of launch
It was marketed as having revolutionary destruction physics, but they were pretty generic and forgettable.
Hello sir. Great video!
I am currently collecting for OG Xbox and want to have a full set of all FPS games.
Just bought Die Hard Vendetta and Painkiller: Hell Wars.
I wasn't aware that Breakdown was a FPS game. Will have to get that one too 😂
Would be good if you could cover some more on a part 2 video. As you mentioned in your video there are many on the OG Xbox.
Pariah isn't really rated highly and most of the youtube videos are based on the PC version anyway, last time I checked.
Keep up the great work! 👍
Oh yeah I'm definitely going to return to this list at some point.
Probably already mentioned in another comment, but red faction 2 was another solid one. With an absolutely frenetic multiplayer that rivaled Unreal in my eyes.
Unreal 2 is another hidden gem
Great video! I’ll definitely check out Timesplitters 2 as I am late to the Original Xbox scene.
Fun stuff. I’ve really been enjoying the channel as I’m getting back into the old Xbox catalog.
I'm glad you are enjoying!
I’ve kinda given up on the new consoles and find myself playing more older games now. The Xbox has so much to offer and most games are still reasonably priced unlike the GameCube for example that has just gotten stupid
Breakdown is one I picked up to play on my Xbox One years ago, and have wanted to give it a chance. It always looked awesome! Pariah is one I knew nothing about (other than seeing the cover in stores back in the day) and sounds like a sweet game! Also, TimeSplitters 2 is easily my favorite FPS for the 6th gen! Awesome video man!
Thank you! Time splitters 2 is one of the best of the generation for sure!
I remember my father renting Pariah from a blockbuster and him playing it. Pariah was supposed to be a “Halo Killer” but failed miserably and ended up being a flop. I still loved its soundtrack though. Super underrated soundtrack and graphics were beautiful for its time.
I had Pariah as a kid forgoten that game existed until now
So many amazing games that could come back via BC with achievements.
I would love to see BC Xbox games get some achievements!
@@campxbox Yeah.
Sony is bad in BC too. Back on PS4 when PS2 games got trophies and AA, higher res and etc I tough It to be so amazing. Seeing the original GTA SA on ~792 was so good, that orange sky...
Well, now the PSP games on PS5 is something but still, it's like Sony doesn't really care. If they start for real adding games, Microsoft will have to do something. We just need the achievements because the emulator on Xbox is a Lot better than what Sony did. PS2 games on PS5 on BC with PS4, no enhancements, Crazy stuff and wast of opportunities.
This game Breakdown looks so interesting, I have never seen gameplay. Is avaiable here in Brasil, hard to go on sale but It's no expansive. I might get some reward points for It. Thank you!
@@campxbox Sorry, I love the topic. Hahahaha
All solid picks 👌 the timesplitter series is one of my all time faves , especially 3
I need to replay 3 soon
Great picks for the video!
I really liked the theee Medal of Honor games, Counter-Strike, and Viet Cong: Purple Haze on the Original Xbox.
I never got to try the Original Xbox port of Half Life 2, but would like to.
All great picks! I need to try Purple Haze though. Half Life 2 on Xbox is excellent.
I wonder if one day modders will make the actual original Halo CE backwards compatible for modded series s / x ... would be awesome to see it in its true original graphical glory in 4K!
I still love the Return to Castle Wolfenstein better than the Newer ones...even the 360 Wolfenstein...no sex or cursing...just fun, and with partial real History! and I am an recent ex-soldier from 2009.
I’m compiling a list of all the games you review to add them to my collection
That's awesome! Sounds like a big endeavor.
Shout out to my childhood friends JT and Skylar for showing me breakdown. I have an awesome little collection of memories being in their room playing breakdown til the wee hours of the morning. Thanks for the great video.
Thanks for sharing the memories! Those light night gaming sessions were some of the best!
Pariah was a nice looking and playing game.
I remember playing Pariah on my pc when it came out and liking it a lot.
It was overshadowed by Doom 3 and Half Life 2 at the time but my pc couldn't handle those games while this played nicely.
Good video 👍
Glad you enjoyed
Wow, I felt like I was the only one to remember Pariah. I only played a demo of it from Xbox Magazine but I remember thinking the weapons were really interesting.
Check out the sequel to this video where I used the suggestions in the comments here:
ruclips.net/video/VIfTOa2gcoc/видео.html
I've owned Parraiah for years and didn't even know it was a shooter I've never actually played it now I certainly will looks awesome
Hope you enjoy it! It looks generic from the cover but is surprisingly fun.
@@campxbox Probably why I ignored it for years
Nice choices but if you are ever making a part II, I would suggest Red Faction II
Yeah I plan on doing more! I need more time with Red Faction 2 but from what I remember it was great!
Just found cheap copy of Breakdown this week, I'd been looking for it for a while
Pariah is dumb fun. The physics engine help its janky charm!! Plus is co-op!
There's a better time line out in the mitliverse where Breakdown got as big as Halo. It's a personal favorite of mine and it still feels the "future of gaming." A true first person adventure and not just a first person shooter.
Far Cry Instincts is one of the best shooters on the system.
Agreed. I've spent many hours on the map editor.
@@campxbox Same here
Thanks I'll give these a try. I've been playing og-xbox Robocop it's a bit janky but I like it. I think there's a new Robocop game a few weeks away too.
I need to sit down and try that game. I love the first movie.
I want to love Breakdown, but as soon as I have to go 1 on 2 in a fist fight early in the story, it feels impossible.
Im still waiting for the revival of timesplitters
Same!
Area 51 is a good fos game on the original Xbox . Also doom 3 and shadow ops : red mercury not bad .
Do you guys know if more original xbox and/or x360 titles are planned to be made backwards compatible to one/series?
As of right now they are saying no. I wish they would though.
Gotta check out pariah, it seems to be similar to black
Yeah i'd say it's similar with a bit more of a sci-fi tinge. If you like Black I think you'd like it.
Not first person, but I love Brute Force!
Nightfire deserves to be here 🥲
That's another really good one. I have a full review of that one if you want to check it out.
I was worried you were going to recommend Brute Force. Microsoft really pushed that game but it had no staying power.
Men of Valor for original xbox.
The original xbox is hands down the best 6th generation console. Online capability (thats still accessible today) and the variety of games for all demographics.
Does return to castle play on series x?
Unfortunately not.
Black. Spongey. Yes!
You sound like Gabe Lewis from the Office
Game at 0:45?
Rainbow Six 3
Breakdown Fuckin rips
Hell yeah it does!
No Rainbow Six Lockdown for you? sucks lol
That and rainbow 3 were very good
Black is super overrated just because it looked so good imo. Gameplay was fine but the game was repetitive and a little boring
I have to say that I tried Timesplitters 1 on the PS2 and I'm Lucky that we didn't get this one. For me the first one is actually not really good. Also u don't miss anything about the Story if u start with 2.
Between thanks to you i bought Breakdown recently :) It looked really intresting and I just wanted to check it out ^^
The first game is basically just a more barebones and fast paced version of TS2. Compared to other shooters around 2000, it certainly holds its own. Aside from the wonky aiming, it nailed the console thumbstick setup a whole year before Halo did.
6:51 I gotta disagree with that statement. I grew to absolutely love Timesplitters 2, and Future Perfect, and still play them on emulators for their arcade modes today. But the shooting is the most NOT straightforward I've seen in a shooter lol. Having the aiming reticle not locked to the center of the screen really made the game more challenging, because the reticle always wanted to be pulled back to the center of the screen, and having a reticle pull against you while trying to snipe something was a PITA. Now it's one of the features that I enjoy and makes more satisfying to get clean kills.
Unpopular opinion time
I think Future Perfect is the better TS game
Its not unpopular.... Future Perfect is way better than #2....
lol pariah was a crock of shi lolll… only good games listed were wolfenstein and black
PS2 > Xbox
I like how the title implies that Halo was fantastic when it objectively was not. Halo was at best a mediocre shooter which, since day one, has coasted on one part console tribalism (being Xbox exclusive) and one part patriotism (being an american made game on an american made console). If you take all subjective factors out of the equation, most (if not all) the games on this list are better than the original Halo, and Halo 2.
Facts! 👍
pariah sucks
Nothing will ever top halo
Lmao😂 ... You really need to play more fps on the big green... halo is overrated
@@darrendavenport3094 sheeeeeiiiiit
Black is the only game on this list that I own for PS2 though. 🫣
