Xbox 360 - My review

Dyne · 05-14-2006, 02:27 PM

Well this forum is needlessly dead so why not kickstart it.

I got my premium Xbox 360 yesterday, for a really good price.

All I have to say is, wow. I was sold on what I played last night (DOA4, Fight Night Round 3) and that was on a semi-small TV with only AV. Then I hooked it up to my upstairs TV with the supplied components, and I only got it running on 480p, but WOW. All I can say is WOW. It's absolutely amazing. I'm blown away.

I rented DOA4 and I'm pretty happy with it so I might buy it. The demo of fight night round 3 is so great I might buy it too. I think I'll hop on Live to try other demos too.

I tinkered around with the arcade games the previous owner had, and they're pretty swell. I'll definitely look into downloading more of those; ones I can't get on the Wii.

And a question to anyone - how do I change themes?

It smelled and felt glorious.

No PD0? What happened to that game by the way?

It sucked, that's what happened.

And I wonder why it doesn't have a demo on the marketplace, yet other games do.

How did you get it for such a good price? Oh, and congratulations!

now.... was the WOW factor the graphics or the gameplay? remember...... gameplay over graphics... remember....

see..now you know... graphics sell..

Fight Night 3 is very good, but I cannot see why people like Dead or Alive...it looks nice but it's a boring game, there is very little depth and skill plays a much smaller role than most fighting games. I suggest trying out Virtua Figher 4 Evolution, Dyne...I know it's not for 360 but I'm sure you would prefer that, and its cheaper.

I've owned it since launch day; in fact, I played Virtua Fighter 4 extensively, too. My favourite character is Pai.

Mugen: Keep in mind this is the first time I've used component cables. If I got component cables for my Gamecube too and played Metroid Prime tonight, I'd probably be wowed by that, too.

Crap I may have to end up getting one too. But first I have to find out which of my credit cards has the lowest APR.
