Even though it’s an older system, and pales in comparison to its successor the Xbox 360, the original Xbox is still a great console. Although I would not recommend it for a buy as it’s outdated and there are no longer games made for it, it’s still a great console. Design: The Xbox is built very sturdy. If dropped, I doubt it would break. It sits nicely on anything, but cannot be stood up. It is quite a bit heavy, but hey you don't need to throw your consoles around do you? Games: There is quite a large library. Just like all consoles there are many cross-platform games and exclusives. Some great exclusives are as follows- Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Fable, PGR 1-2, Forza Motorsport, Conker: Live and Reloaded, Dead or Alive 3-4, Ninja Gaiden Black, Jade Empire and more. Online: Although at this time, Original Xbox isn't really used for Xbox Live anymore as of course it’s based on Xbox 360 now. However, back in the day, Xbox live for Xbox was revolutionary. Overall- It’s a great system, I wouldn't recommend it anymore as its successor is far superior etc. but for sheer collect ability or even for some games you may of missed, its still a good system. 8/10

Lil-J's review for Xbox
onJune 19, 2011
I am impressed with the graphical capabilities of Xbox (somewhere in between PS2 & GCN). The processor is nice and Xbox Live is new and original to microsoft. Where Xbox fails is the game catalogue. No RPG's only crosses between RPG and some other genre. All, and I mean "ALL" the adventure games are stupid. Being A Sonic fan and there being only 3 sonic games is upsetting. There is nothing for kids besides boring titles that Mario easily beats. So that leaves shooting, in which the Xbox has an impressive catalogue, and racing, which are all designed for the Xbox steering wheel. It takes time to learn the complicated controls for any shooter. If you do not have A steering wheel for racing games you're pretty much screwed, Because the games are nearly impossible to control without one. So if you like shooting people in the face this is the king. anything else and you're screwed. Sorry. 3 out of 10.

I remember when I had an Xbox and it was the best console i've ever had. I played Sonic Riders and Midnight Club 3 on the Xbox and they were both my favorite games. Before our Xbox broke, I got the Xbox 360 and now I miss it more than probably anything. I gotta say, Microsoft did good with the Xbox and I kinda want another one now.

The Xbox is one heck of a console. The original controller for this system was a bit bulky, but I found it easy to adapt to the feel of the controller quickly. The Xbox was the superior console in graphics for it's generation in my opinion. When it came to game library this console had many excellent options such as Halo Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Mech Assault, Fuzion Frenzy and so on. One thing this console had going for it over the PS2 and Gamecube is it's internal hard drive. I have the 8GB console and it will never run out of free space to save games. The Gamecube and PS2 takes several memory cards if you plan on having a lot of games for those consoles. I own the Gamecube, PS2, the Xbox. Graphically the Xbox wins hands down. The Xbox is more of an adult gaming system if you ask me. A lot of excellent FPS games for this console. A must have for a true gamer!
