I bought mine from Orta and Steel Battalion. Although I’ve played other games on the system that I’ve enjoyed there isn’t anything else I’d keep an Xbox just to play.
JSRF, ORTA, Kung Fi Chaos, SEGA GT online , O.TO.GI , Ninja Gaiden Black, Oddworld Stranger, Steel Battlion haven’t been ported over and they are the best games I’ve played this gen.
But only 3 of them don’t have prequels of some description on other consoles. I don’t rate Kung Fu Chaos anyway, I consider it a poor (wo)mans Power Stone.
So what if some have prequels that like slamming the N64 for just having udates . Kung Fu Chaos isn’t has good as Powerstone but’s a million times better than PowerStone II.
X-Box sucked when it came to platform games (Well BLiNX was ace) and JP RPG’s but for Racer, FPS’s, Action and Mech Games it was in a class of it own
There was far more the X-Box than just ORTA.
JSRF is on of the best games I’ve ever played in my life. In people here are going to call the likes of Riddick , Crismon Skies, SB, KFC, O.TO.GI II, Ninja Gaiden , Oddworld Stranger, HALO, Rasllisport II , Out Run II, SEGA GT, Dead Or Alive U, HOTD III, Mech Assualt II, Doom 3, HL II
Hardly what I call lame and thats titles of the top of head. Also I could’nt give too sh8ts, if the game are out onthe PC,. My PC would have heart failer trying to run them, and the likes of Pro Evo, Tomb Raider , FF were also out onthe PC didn’t maker happy as a Saturn owner though
Doom 3 is crap and HL2 isn’t worth it without the ability to have multiplayer modes, free add ons and fan made modifications like you get on the PC.
The rest of the games you mention are not that special with either having better prequels (JSR), being multiplatform (Outrun), or simply not being system sellers. Just good fun games to play while you wait for the BIG ones (that never came in the case of the Xbox). Seriously, racing games? There are tons of them, good and bad, for any system. As for DoA, well, imo the DoA series is a cheap knock off of Virtua Fighter with an added twist (emphasis on counters) that doesn’t do much other than make it need even less skill.
