1. Xbox might not have had the sales of the PS2, but I never saw 6 people crowed around a single PlayStation at a lan party arguing over who's next.

2. Dead or Alive 3 was better looking than Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate.

3. Heh, I was hoping half life 2 would be in this video, but not on the list. May have been my favorite xbox game to play when it came out and years later, but god damn that game does chug.

4. swap out doom with Riddick and its a solid list, i still Love Ninja Gaiden.

5. Panzer Dragoon Orta
   Call of Cthulhu
   Phantom Dust
   Splinter Cell: Double Agent
   Conker: Live and Reloaded
   Midtown Madness 3
   Otogi
   The Chronicles of Riddick
   Outrun 2
   Rallysport Challenge 2
   Morrowind
   Quantum Redshift
   Tron 2.0
   Forza Motorsport
   Brute Force
   Scrapland
   Amped 2
   Flatout 2
   Steel Battalion

6. man, a lot of xbox games have 480p progressive scan. is there a big difference if i use a component cable for CRT TV?

7. I still habe a SEALED Dead or Alive Ultimate set coming with game 1 and 2

8. No Project Gotham Racing??

9. Ninja Gaiden Black was really ahead of it's time. One of my all-time favorite games.

10. No matter which console, DOA will always look stunning.

11. My top 5 list
    5. Halo 2 – awsome visuals
    4. Black – great effects and visuals
    3. Doom 3 – beatiful colours and lighting effects
    2. Half life 2 – a great visually impressive pc port.
    1. Sprinter Cell – great lighting, great sounds and shadows.
    Also the best looking game in that year.

12. Okay, I have to ask, what is the song you use at the very end of your videos? I know it's a remix of Akira's theme from Virtua Fighter 2, but do you have a link to the full version by any chance?

    Either way, nice work on this video. Ninja Gaiden Black is one of my favourite games of all time as well. It looks and runs even better on Xbox One X!

13. Quantum Redshift is also another game that looks amazing.

14. Thief: Deadly Shadows, I tell you! Thief: Deadly Shadows! Tis far superior than Riddick. #YouTaffer 😀

15. i owed orta & ng

16. It doesn't matter what era it's in, Dead or Alive always looks gorgeous.

17. Video starts at 3:05.

18. Project gotham racing 2 is really awesome,not to mention halo 1 & 2,soul calibur II,forza motorsports,splinter cell,star wars KOTOR (I and II),otogi (1 and 2),gun valkyrie and shenmue II.

19. Ah the feeling of nostalgia after watching your video, good work, agree with NGB being on top, it's without a doubt the most techniqually impressive game on the system but there are plenty of games that i would put on that list ahead of doom3 which looked fantastic at the time but the levels were dark and looked boring and were made smaller than the pc version.

    riddick comes to mind, some really amazing graphics considering the levels were fairly open ended with some really cool looking lightning effects, HL2 is up there too despite the unstable framerate but it was fully playable. It's hard to make such a video without leaving it some great games such as Far Cry Instincts, Chaos theory, Burnout 3. Forza, Rallysport Challenge, Jade Empire, Panzer Dragon, Conker, PGR 2, JSRF, and the Otogi series.

20. My two favourite game's on the original Xbox are Half Life 2 and Jet Set Radio Future. Half Life 2 is my favourite game on any all systems.

21. Quantum redshirt was a Wipeout style racer on og xbox that still looks amazing today.

22. ninja gaiden black is not only one of the best games of the xbox but one of the best games ever period 👌

23. Ninja gaiden kicks the shit out of devil may cry.

24. Choas theroy is the shit

25. The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay was the best looking xbox game, NFL fever & brute force were good as well

26. 1000th Sub <3

27. Ah good old Ninja Gaiden, 3 controllers broken.
    In the eloquent words of Egoraptor "God can't help you now"

28. Crimson skies?

29. DOOM LOOKS LIKE UTTER TRASH VS METROID PRIME and less than half the framerate and prime had no loading in game all hidden dom looks like ps1 vs prime gc

30. BULLLLL SHITTTTT Gmecube was more powerful bs video gc was way above xbox

    complete bs how was sdram superior to 1 t sram and edram 1tsram IMPOSABLE how was off the shelf celeron cpu on par with a custom powerpc cpu

    complte horse shit METROID PRIME WAY BETTER GRAPHICS THAN ANY XBOX GAME AND MORE THAN DOUBLE THE FRAMERATE RE4 AGAIN BETTER LOKING THAN ANY XBOX GAME

    its gc thats celibrated and loved on pc today via dolphin FOR A REASON

31. Conker: Live and Reloaded, and Sudeki are the only two I can think of at the top of my head. Their graphics still hold to this day.
    And the reason why these graphics still hold, is because they made them look good, and if the graphics look good, they will always look good, no matter what. And it's a shame how there are countless games even to this day with shitty graphics that look just so damn grainy and blurry.

32. yess, Ninja Gaiden & Dead or Alive is the best good looking game on Xbox. Also honorable to Fable and Jade Empire.

33. I have a sealed copy of Ninja Gaiden Black. I don't know if that is worth anything right now or it will be someday but I don't plan on opening that along with my Morrowind sealed copy.

34. 👍🏻😊😉🎮🖥

35. What about panzer dragoon orta

36. bill gates took so much time to convince that the team already thought their valentine lovers angry & done waiting for them: it went far into the evening because billy wasn't convinced. only when one guy said: 'We can't leave the living room to Sony'' that billy's eyes shined and he said 'we do it'(not in those words).
    check out the microsoft guy interview from…gamespot?IGN! i think. part of a series with several gaming ppl. i dont remember, maybe this vid is older than the interview.

    #not sharing the knowledge should be a crime.

37. I would argue for honorable mention Ralli Sport Challenge 2. Amazing looking game with a very good feel. Like your video. I wish someone would do a video of Ralli Sport 2. I would like it to be one of the playable original games to be played on the Xbox one.

38. I don't think it was the graphics that lead to Half-Life 2 lagging on the Xbox, the game's physics engine was very complex for its time and the laggier moments seemed to be with a lot of physics interactions, its CPU can't keep up.

39. Imma HAVE to give a sub to you buddy. This top 5 had very well fleshed out reasoning as to why each game was chosen. I also liked your choice of music while discussing each game and very much appreciated the credit you gave to the sources that helped contribute to this video.

40. What about Far Cry Instincts?

41. Conker Live & Reloaded?

42. Couldn't agree more with the list. I thought u would put DOA 3 in there but DOA2 Ultimate was a better choice.

43. How about a top 10/top 5 amazing and/or fun original xbox games that should be playable on xbox one that some people may have forgotten about.👍If you choose to do this, try looking at Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. That game was ridiculously fun and practically part of my childhood!😅 Fun fact: some people actually don't remember this game (or very well at least) because it just didn't make too many sales…

44. Wtf wheres chronicles of riddick escape from butcher bay.Hands down the best looking game

45. Fuck, I remember that Dead or Alive 3 and Ninja Gaiden had some fucking great graphics when I played it 16 years ago. Now that I see the video today, I do not remember seeing the graphics like that. Funny, at that time the graphics were so advanced, but now today they seem blurred. Is it because we adjust our vision for today's graphics. I certainly don't remember seeing those games as blurry and seeing their polygons. Or is it an effect of aging of the disc?
