If you play games for graphics only, you won't get any good games. it just doesn't have that great sound or music unless you put Styx or something into the hard drive. and the games definitely don't have the voice acting that some great games (e.g. Eternal Darkness) have. everyone talks about how DOA beach volleyball is such a good game the triggers are uncomfortable to hold you never know what button you're actually pressing Loading: 6/10 but whenever i play a game and it says: Now Loading. I just go ''Ewww loading times... gross....'' it costs soooo frickin' much. You can't take a memory card out and play files against friends the memory card is in the hard drive, which i think is incredibly stupid. Sure you can record music on it, but why would you want to. They put the original music in the games for a reason, to put you in the mood of the game. sure it can play dvd's and such, but not as good as something that is supposed to play dvd's (and such,)

  Funny.  These quotes say it all.

It got replaced by games that focus around graphics so little kids would think it is 'cool'...

ok... xbox:
halo.. M.. no
splintercell..M..no
DOA3...T...no

hmm most xbox games are teen or mature rated ok... well then gc:
mario sunshine... E...ok
mario kart double dash...E..yea
Mario...party, golf, blah blah blah... E..yep
pikmin...E...sound familiar
animal crossing... E... and ya just got to love those superior gc graphics on this one

shall I go on?  ok maybe I'm a bit biased here so I'll try to name kid games for xbox and mature ones for gc (i leave ps2 out since he is most obviously a gc fanboy)..

xbox:
uh...
shrek... I think...
Shrek party...
Monopoly Party..
blinx...
pretty sure thats about it, even xbox's platformer games are usually rated teen.

gc:
resident evil 1, 2, 0.. etc.
and uh... prolly a couple more.

conclusion... oh just screw it... I need a drink, wtf am i doing on newyears eve without a drink in my hand?!

Review by SSJTrunks189   Why why why... Why did they make this? I just don't understand... and it is supported so heavily... but I repeat, why? I'll just start off saying that it is over-rated... and I just hope a large shipment is thrown out to sea... Let's begin. Graphics: 7/10 This has to be the only good feature this thing has. But I've seen sooo many more games that have better graphics then the games on this... but then again, If you play games for graphics only, you won't get any good games. So it has been branded a 7 Sound: 4/10 What can I saw, it's sub-par... it just doesn't have that great sound or music unless you put Styx or something into the hard drive. and the games definitely don't have the voice acting that some great games (e.g. Eternal Darkness) have. Games: 1/10 This is where it get's all shattered... It has 1 (if any) good exclusives, and IMO, it's dead or alive 3. And you can't even count Halo because it's not even exclusive. And all the new games will probably be released on PC, like most games on it are... it's just that bad. And everyone talks about how DOA beach volleyball is such a good game, if it is, why does it measure to nothing when compared to a NES game (you know what one I'm talking about) with worse graphics (gameplay over graphics) Gameplay: 4/10 Again, it's sub-par. The only good gameplay i could give it is halo, which isn't even exclusive. So what happened to the good games this system was supposed to have? It got replaced by games that focus around graphics so little kids would think it is 'cool'... Controller: 1/10 UGH!!! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING... why did they release this horrid excuse for a controller!!! the d-pad is webbed, the buttons are tiny, the triggers are uncomfortable to hold, and there is a huge x. right in the middle, but why?!? and the controls during games are horrid, confusing and you never know what button you're actually pressing, they are all the same (the buttons) not like the Gamecube controller, where there is actually a difference between the buttons.... I would give this lower if I could... Loading: 6/10 The loading times are a bit slow, not as slow as PS2. but not as fast as Gamecube. but whenever i play a game and it says: Now Loading. I just go ''Ewww loading times... gross....'' but it's pretty good The Console itself: 2/10 The damned thing is about 15 pounds, it's ugly as hell, and it costs soooo frickin' much. You can't take a memory card out and play files against friends, the memory card is in the hard drive, which i think is incredibly stupid. Sure you can record music on it, but why would you want to. They put the original music in the games for a reason, to put you in the mood of the game. and sure it can play dvd's and such, but not as good as something that is supposed to play dvd's (and such,) because that is what gaming consoles should be for. Gaming. Not all this fancy crap. Gaming and gaming alone. *sigh* but people refuse to get that through thier skull... Overall: 3/10 Graphics:7/10 Sound: 4/10 Games: 1/10 Gameplay: 4/10 Controller: 1/10 Loading time: 6/10 The console itself: 2/10 The only thing I can say is, stay away from this console if you want the good gaming that would be on PS2 or Gamecube... But if you play games for graphics only... then i highly consider getting this (because Graphics are the best feature it has...)     Reviewer's Score: 3 / 10, Originally Posted on 08/06/2003

Where should I start?  graphics may not be far better from playstation and gc but when you look at spliter cell and dead or alive and all... it's more than a 7.  Sound... this is funny since the xbox is the only to provide true 5.1 surround.  Games... why bother answering this, the kids a jackass.  Controller... well it's a matter of opinion and he fails to mention the controller S which is more like his gc controller.  I personally like the original best, I got some big hands.  Loading times are the same as any other console.. not much you can do there.  I love how he hates the hardrive and apparently doesn't know you can buy a memory card sepperatly which holds more than a ps2 memory card.. not sure about the gamecube ones.  And then about the soundtrack... wow... what an idiot.  His loss...

This must be a retarded 11 year old!

I swear, I love everything about the XBOX, especially the sound, the controllerS, and the hard drive. The gamecube controller is 4mb or something while the XBOX memory cards are huge! Plus you can swap files from the HD (where you can hold tens of thousands of blocks of data) to the memory card.

This guy has no idea what he's talking about!
