Unfair, a lot of people did not get one yet, and haven\'t played enough games to hate it or love with total conviction I suppose. ;)

IMO, the launch title lineup sucks. Of course, some people like the launch games. To each their own poison. IMO.

Luigi\'s Mansion is simple, effective and fun.

Xbox games are none of the above, well, okay they are simple. However, they are not effective and fun. HALO, you say? Well, hell, its another FPS and if I want the actual good version of HALO, I will wait for it to come out for the PC... Ya\' know, online play and a keyboard and mouse? DOA3? I hated DOA back in its PS days and I think I grow more tired of it with each installment, still I thought I\'d give it a try. Played it for maybe 10-15 mintues and realized it was just DOA2 with enhanced graphics. Wow, that is just tons of fun..:rolleyes: Gotham Racing? The one game I was truly lookin\' forward to at Xbox launch (people who have been here on the board awhile, will remember me being excited about it) was terrible even. Now lets see, RS2 for the GC..Hmm, exciting and fun. LUigi\'s Mansion? Effective and fun...

See the obvious difference (I doubt you do, but I thought I\'d ask)?

What I think is that X-Box is an impressive console...

...the launch games are very good...and there\'re a lot of interesting games coming out...

...I\'m getting one on the end of this month or the beginning of december...

Amazing!

I don\'t know what to say other than Xbox is the best...

Halo is still dropping my jaw even after about 10 hours of gameplay.  

Munch, I love this game.  I\'ve been playing for about 6-8 hours and I still love it.   The graphics are amazing, the gameplay is rock solid and interesting.  Maybe I\'m just a freak but I\'m all about this game.

Dead Or Alive 3...The wow factor settled in and I started to lose interest, BUT THEN I picked it up again and I\'m hooked on the gameplay.  It really is much smoother and player friendly than DOA2.  That and every other fighting game pales in comparison, IMO!


These are the killer apps of the Xbox.  They are great IMO and I can\'t wait to see what else is coming.

Also, all of you who are basing your judgement on these bitter PS2 fanboys opinions...go play an Xbox for yourself.  I recommend Halo, DOA3, Munch, and Project Gotham to start out with.  



;)

Sorry it took so long to reply...

Anyway, story aside you play as either Munch or Abe.  Both have special abilities that are needed in certain areas in order to advance to the next stage.  

Munch is a strong swimmer, works machines,  and can zap enemies with his head.  He has to rescue the Fuzzles and mostly commands them to attack nearby enemies until he can get them to a portal.  The more he saves the better his Quarma is.

Abe is like his always been.  He can run, jump, possess, etc.  He rescues other mudokans.  He must keep them alive in order to advance through the stage (you\'ll need certain numbers of them to chant so you can pass through doors and such).

At first, each character has their own stages.  It\'s so you get to know the character\'s basic moves is their respective environments.  After several stages, they meet up and must work together in order to solve puzzles and progress to the next stage.  

The puzzles range anywhere from bright neon signs telling you what to do all the way to completely oblivious as to what\'s going on.

I\'m hooked on the game.  The game definitely has personality.  The graphics are beautiful.  The gameplay is perfect.

If you like platform games, then you owe it to yourself.  Get Munch...

Uhhhhhhhhh.......I hate to say this but GC launch sucked to me.  Are you saying luigi mansion is better than halo?!?!!?  NO WAY!!!!!!  I would put halo up their with mgs2 with greatness.  DOA3 is awesome, hey at least xbox had a fighter at launch unlike gamecube.  Btw, your talking about Project Gothem which is an awesome game as well.  Did gamecube even have a racer at launch?  I personally think xbox badly beats gamecube imo.  Yes I played both consoles and made the right choice and brought an xbox.:fro: :thepimp:

Rast, chill out man, If he finds Luigi\'s mansion better then Halo, well, let him think whatever the hell he pleases, you sound like your forcing your words onto him. LOL, DOA3 is awesome? Hell no it isn\'t, anyone that says DOA3 is awesome, and brings alot of stuff to the table gameplay wise is an idiot. DOA3 is DOA2 on steriods, PLAIN AND SIMPLE RAST, you can NOT deny that DOA3 doesn\'t bring anything new to the table gameplay wise. RL is to damn fun, yet effective, I can\'t get enough of it. Halo as good as MGS2? I doubt that, MGS2 is quite a bit more realalistic, Halo on the other hand, is a complete different game from MGS2, but still, Halo can\'t compare to MGS2\'s top notch storyline. Project Gotham is ****, at least, from what I\'ve heard from people that have it. Don\'t get me wrong, I have an Xbox, but it doesn\'t BADLY BEAT GC like you say it does.  End of story, LET PEOPLE THINK what they want about games, and or consoles. Keep your opipion to yourself, or at least don\'t make it sound as if your pushing it on someone.


DOA3=PURE CRAP.

HALO is up there with MGS2? Yeah, I\'d agree with that. Both are totally over-rated and boring (IMO)... As for the , "at least Xbox had a fighter at launch", well, I would rather wait for a good fighter, than settle for a terrible one at launch. Oh and yeah, GC did have a racer at launch - it is called WaveRace.

Its all personal opinion.

You can\'t really Judge these consoles yet - u guys do know that don\'t u? - just like u couldn\'t judge the ps2 at its launch. Wait a few months before u eat your own words.
