Xbox Originals worth playing?

[Pulsar_t]

I'm looking for Xbox games that simply work using the 360's outdated BC scheme (bug-free would be most welcome). Please keep in mind that I played most multiplatform games last gen so exclusives are what I'm looking for. There are BC guides out there but personal experience always tops such generic guides. Thanks in advance!

Thinking of lesser known titles I might go for Armed and Dangerous. The guns in that game were hilarious (I think it was XBOX exclusive). Also, if you liked the first one on Dreamcast, Shenmue II was pretty tight. Conker Live and Reloaded is funny. I know I'm forgetting something awesome.

You should really consider playing Psyconauts. It is a very fun game that many people overlooked.

Looking at the Wikipedia list, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xb ... h_Xbox_360

I would recommend:
Baldur's Gate I & II
Conker: Live & Reloaded
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge
Fatal Frame
Grabbed by the Ghoulies - Some didn't like it but I enjoyed it
Halo
Halo 2
Jade Empire
Mega Man Anniversary Collection - if you don't have the games elsewhere
Metal Arms: Glitch in the System
Ninja Gaiden or Ninja Gaiden: Black
OddWorld: Munch's Oddysee
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Psychonauts
Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy
SSX 3
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I & II
Star Wars: Republic Commando
Ultimate Spider-Man

I enjoy all of these. If you have questions please ask.

There are more
There is a game where you are in some kind of a dungeon and you are psycho or something like that. Panzer Dragoon Orta is really good but short, if you like the genre I thought it was amazing and challenging too.

I usually go to gamespot , chose browse all games, then let it rate the games descending from top score to lowest and then make my choice.
Though this method might make you miss on good games that got low ratings.

I have most of those for PS2/PC (and Shenmue 2 PAL on Dreamcast). Will PDO actually work and let me finish the game? And what about Toejam & Earl 3 and JGR Future? As for Oddworld isn't it too glitchy to play on 360? Thanks to everyone who replied!

Phantom Dust was fascinating. Kind of like... deathmatchy, magic the gathering, shadowruny, combat RPG with mostly-fully destructable environments.

I only fell out of playing it in favor of other newer titles, but I'll return to it one day.

Panzer Dragoon Orta freezes on the 3rd stage everytime I play it on the 360, and it's definetly not a problem with the disc as i've tested it on an original Xbox - sucks because PDO is probably my all-time favourite Xbox game. I just wish Microsoft & Sony gave more of a crap about backwards compatability.

How about Call of Cthulhu? I know the guys on Rebel FM loved that game. Its made by Bethesda so thats a good sign.
