Xbox

[Surinder]

Hi peeps..

I am thinking of getting an xbox for xmas, just wondering if its any good, also what are the best car & adventure/strategy games for the xbox?

Ive had a PS2 for about 2 years... and just bought an X-box about 3 weeks ago as i thought i should treat myself as i had worked !Removed! loads of overtime..

My conclusion... they both have very very good games made for em... and i love Project Gothem Racin... & the PS2 would never be able to support a game such as Halo in the graphics dept...

I dunno... The X-box has some good prices at the moment..

I got mine for £140 with 4 games....

[Surinder]

I had a ps2 till last jan, got bored and sold it. £140 + 4 games, thats good. Where did you get it from?

national store called 'GAME'... I got the following games..

Time Splitters 2 (pretty good 1st person shooter)

Mid Town Madness 3 (not bad driving game)

Halo (awesome)

Crash Bandicoot The wrath of Cortex (My sister loves it... lol)

And i had to buy Project Gothem Racing 1 (One of the best games) as it is only £20 now in the platinum collection...

If you want an Adventure game .. Get Shenmue2 .. it's Ma-Hoo-Sive !!

I have the xbox with pgr2 + others.

All I hear online are people who have ps2s saying how good the xbox is and that they are buying one.

Once youve played online your hooked

Have to say, the X Box beats the PS2 hands down

Its worth buying for Halo alone, and Halo 2's out shortly. :hokus-pokus:

Fizz, wait till you get the sniper rifle to pick off the aliens. Though my personal favourite is the shotgun :D

Midnight Club II is a good driving game, just sick of gettin beat by an eight year old :(

well who cares... i love online gaming but since my PC is about 3 years old now.. it cant support the latest games about and i cant be assed spendin monies on upgrading so i just bought the X-box...

What setup have you got on your system then?

From the info on that site, this is the setup that im gonna be applying..

So is it as straight forward as it seems... get the hub and install the software and voila...?

[Bibbs]

yup .. thats my setup ..

install the SW, open the ports on the firewall, and then the SW will connect to the Xbox and then get online ..

The meatier the broad band connection the better ..

[Jimlad]

like someone else said... get an Xbox and get it chipped..... then you can get heaps of games at hardly any cost.... :D

[Fizz]

yup .. thats my setup ..

install the SW, open the ports on the firewall, and then the SW will connect to the Xbox and then get online ..

The meatier the broad band connection the better ..

Im on a 512 Telewest Connection...

I have Zone Alarm Pro but the site seems to miss out the setup on that front... What exactly needs to be done?

[Bibbs]

Who can chip Xbox's? *hand*

But I do not condone Software Piracy :arrgg-matey: .. It means you can play backups, imported games and DVD's without the remote.

You need to open a port (8000 and something) so the internet can speak to the Xbox via the firewall .. it's all in the FAQ ..

Back to playing NfS Underground now ..

Have got the xbox at home connected to the wireless network for xbox live and it'superb, best racing game is Project Gotham Racing 2 (already completed lol) and racing and talking over the web is nuts. Tactical game, Rainbow 6 is excellent although takes a while to get used to as my men kept running in front of my gun and it's nuts being able to give verbal orders to your troops via the headset and mike...
