@@scotchnichols Ubisoft had two different teams working on the next gen (Wii, 360, PS3, PC) and last gen (PS2 and Xbox) versions. The Chaos Theory team worked on the last gen version.
Played it to death on the PSP when I was a kid. I loved the mini game where you had to shoot the people wearing the jack o lantern heads. I still think of this game from time to time
Xiaolin Showdown was the last game I got for my complete PAL Xbox collection. It’s super rare. Good luck finding the English version for under 500€ complete in box. I was really happy to finally get it and be done with the collection.
I love looking at end of life console games. They often look really amazing when compared to early generation titles. Developers have had years of learning hardware and come up with lots of tricks to squeeze performance out of them. Those late Madden games look way better on the same system than say Madden 02
Late gen xbox 360 titles like GTA V and MGS Phantom Pain look pretty good even to this day. Even more true with the PS3 - GTA V runs and looks identical to the 360 version yet GTA IV has an inconsistent frame rate and runs at a lower resolution than the 360 version
@@creed8712 It did, got a copy on my RGH console, a surprising amount of cross gen titles that you wouldn't expect released on the 360. Dying Light itself almost made it over but the devs couldn't bring themselves to nerf it enough so it was XB1/PS4 only.
I also remember the last few games too that were released for the original Xbox! I don't have the original Xbox version of Madden NFL 09 although I would have loved to have that game for the system even though I already have it for both PS2 and PSP. I do, however, have the Xbox version of Ratatouille based on the 2007 Disney/Pixar film, and I also still remember that the original Xbox version of that game was an EB Games/GameStop exclusive release as well since it could only be found at EB Games and GameStop stores at the time.
THQ really wanted Ratatouille on every platform under the sun. Including MacOS and GBA which at the time were dying platforms to publish games on. I'm surprised Microsoft still allowed publishers to continue supporting the original Xbox in 2007 since they were in a rush to get rid of it.
one thing that i always find funny is that both Lego Star Wars 1 and 2 were released for the OG Xbox, but TCS (which is basically the two games put together) wasn't
Been binging your channel lately man, getting back into the Xbox, i have a request, you should put your running top list or at least top 100 list down the bottom of the video description.
I was in technical school in Toronto when the OG Box ended. A couple of late releases that ended up being personal favorites were Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Mortal Kombat Armageddon.
ahh I'm so sad! I was looking forward to coverage of "Just Cause" as it was one of the most ambitious Xbox games even for it's time, but the cut off by months kicked in XD. Maybe in another video by ya! Really enjoyed this deep dive into the last couple Xbox games.
Fun fact - madden 09 has a hidden madden moment mode from Madden 05 and Madden moments were planned for 04 as well and possibly 06. Lots of left over code in old maddens and assets ported over from pc that bloat Madden and progression.
I wish FIFA 07 was on the list. Truely the last and best soccer game ever released on the XBOX. The manager mode is the main highlight of FIFA 07 as you build up your own team against others, signing contracts and hiring coaches to enhance overall chemistry. Also, the OST sugercoats the feeling and atmosphere of the game.
I remember finding Madden 09 for the collection and feeling like i found a gem, never thought itd be over a sports game haha just the feeling of having the last game released for the console. Great video dude as always of course
Well, sort of. It was one of several OG Xbox games that were all added in the last batch of backwards compatibility on the same day in November 2021. The others include Advent Rising, DOA 2, DOA 3, Chicken Little, Gladius, Gunvalkyrie, Manhunt, Max Payne, Max Payne 2, Oddworld Munch's Oddyssee, Otogi 1 and 2, Red Dead Revolver, Secret Weapons Over Normandy, Several Star Wars titles, and Timesplitters 2 and 3.
@@Olie986 The fact that Chicken Little - a licensed game of all things is still available to buy on both Xbox and PC is crazy to me. Game turns 20 years old this year and sets an example for video game preservation.
@@campxboxHere's what else is on the list: -Hunter: The Reckoning -Outlaw Golf -Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II -Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast -Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis -Dinotopia: The Sunstone Odyssey -Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee -Nickelodeon Party Blast -Neighbors from Hell In addition, you could also bring up some games where the PS2 version was exclusive to 1 region while the GC/Xbox versions weren't (like Dragon's Lair 3D, Cel Damage or TMNT: Mutant Melee).
The OG still had so much life yet to give, It would have been nice to see where development could get us. Maybe people will make games for ogbox one day
No mention of Just Cause? LOL This timeline is super nostalgic for me as a started my first job at Gamestop in Spring 2006. Seeing all of these games on the store shelves, and experiencing the transition from Xbox to 360 was incredibly interesting, along with customer complaints about the 360 games just looking like Xbox games in HD. Even if MS had sorted out their issues with Intel and Nvidia in creating cheaper, revised Xbox systems (a la PS2 slim), cutting the Xbox early made sure their beast of a first console wasn't cutting into the sales of the 360.
Fun fact about Ratatouille it's the only game for all the 6th generation and 7th generation consoles play ass there's a PS2 version an original Xbox version Nintendo GameCube version Sony's PlayStation 3 version Xbox 360 version Nintendo Wii version Game Boy Advance DS and PSP version and Mac and PC
I've never seen Ratatouille, so I s'pose I never really acknowledged the existence of the game, but thinking about it, I love the idea of a game where you play as a rat, doing rat things. It's a style of game I always thought should be done more often.
Ratatouille is one of my childhood games, even if you play it as a random game is pretty good (so as a tie-in is freakin' GREAT), especially the old gen version (the one I played on pc as a child): the game is also infamous due to being released on pretty much EVERY PLATFORM available at the time (it's actually the image on the "port overdosed" page on TV tropes 😂), and if releasing on the Xbox in mid-late 2007 was strange, the game also released on the GAMECUBE (with the PAL release being exclusive to France).... To quote TV Tropes: "Anyone can cook, AND ANYONE CAN PLAY THIS GAME."
I have never played any of those games, but King of Fighters Neowave definitely piqued my interest, I'm surprised I never heard of it considering I'm a fan of the franchise. It looks kinda weird, but I like it. That reminds me I still need to get a physical copy of SVC Chaos too, aka SNK v Capcom. I do have the Capcom v SNK 2 EO, didn't know this console had a port of it back in the day as I played this on ps2 back then. The big difference in EO is that there's like an analog stick motion that activates the ridiculously complicated super move combos.
Of this list I played both Madden 08 and Superman. With Superman, I enjoyed the flying mechanics, especially breaking the sound barrier, but I agree the game wasn't fully flesh out. I'd like to see a modern adaptation keeping the 'spirit' of protecting the city but giving superman his own health bar. There are plenty who can give him a run around plus we cannot forget kryptonite.
Superman Returns works well on 360 I have that version.. Madden 09 was my second favorite Madden after Madden 2004. Have it on 360. Thank you for letting me know about King of Fighters though, just added it to my eBay list.
Wow, I completely forgot about Thrillville. I used to play this all day when I was a kid. Super fun, and I’d play it today if i could. Also, xiaolin showdown was probably one of the best games I’ve played back then. Super fun game
Man 2007 and 2008 were bummer Years for OG Xbox as it mostly sports games released with ratatoullie being the only stand out OG Xbox Title from 2007, it would atleast be interesting to see OG Xbox releases like "The Simpsons Game" "Sonic Unleashed" "Sonic Riders Zero Gravity" "The Legend of Spyro The Eternal Night" and "Godzilla Unleashed" all ports from the Wii/PS2 Version of those Games BTW.
Nooot...really. the 360 version "looks" better, but just in terms of effects. In terms of performance, it's actually the worst performing version of the game. The game isn't better either, it's literally just the same game with a fresh coat of paint. But I will admit if you think this Xbox version looks rough, the PS2 version looks WAY worse. This was definitely one of those games that showed the power difference between the PS2 and Xbox.
Crazy how they went from more than 100 games releasing in 2006 to only 5 games releasing in 2007 and 2008 combined. Meanwhile PS2 kept getting games until 2013. Though lets be honest, they weren't getting anything but scraps past 2009. The last notable games on PS2 were probably Silent Hills Shattered Memories and the Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow port in 2010.
That ear of Xbox and Pc GPU hardwares were very under-utilized thanks to PS2 being the lead platform. Games that made use of normal maps almost looked as good as 360 and ps3 era games. Normal maps were one of the best thing to happen in graphics.
This 100% So many multi-platform titles were lazy on Xbox. Luckily, the GTA Double Pack, and the Splinter Cell games are prime examples were the effort made a massive difference on Xbox.
@@XenonXyanide There's a staggering amount of superior ports on both XBOX and Gamecube; Not sure exactly what games ya'll are on about but they must be niche. Lot's of minor ones like Spongebob had enhanced materials on XBOX, and were also 60 FPS like the Gamecube. Harry Potter titles were also optimized well. Another example is XIII, great shooter. Lots of cut down maps on the PS2 version in multiplayer and performance is piss in story mode; XBOX version blossomed.
I remember liking Xiaolin Showdown (as in the tv show) but didn't know anything about a console game of the same name. Guess it sucks to be me on not paying attention to tv shows and console games
It didn't die, it was killed. Microsoft lost too much on every hardware unit sold. They didn't want to keep supporting it. It's also why they ripped out the standard hard drive on the 360 and cheaped out in every way possible on manufacturing.
@@DP12321You can actually blame Nvidia for the death of the original xbox. They didn’t allow for die shrinks or any deals to reduce prices over time unlike most other manufacturers. So the xbox gpu and motherboard never got cheaper or more power efficient. Also Nvidia is generally annoying or terrible to work with.
NFS Carbon was also ported to the OG Xbox in 2006 As much as I think it’s a good game, it feels more like an expansion to NFS Most Wanted than a full on sequel due to its short length
I've always found it strange that PS2 was still receiving new releases well into the PS3's run. Meanwhile GameCube and OG Xbox were forgotten about a year after the releases of Wii and 360 respectively.
Sad that such a great system was already being wound down after just 4 years on the market. That's got to be one of the shortest lifespans for a major game system, after the Dreamcast and GBA. That there were other consoles with weaker software and hardware, which lasted much longer, rubs salt in the wound. Though I can't stay too mad about that part, as at least those systems still got some worthwhile games, and that's ultimately still a good thing!
The xbox cost too much to manufacture, MS would lose money on each console sold due to the hard drive, the Intel processor and Nvidia graphics making a loss of about $200 on each unit. That's why MS opted to sell the base model 360 without a hard drive and why it used a Power PC processor that used in order execution (less instructions per clock cycle compared to intel)
You not the only one me and my cousins always preferred to play the Xbox because there was 4 of us so it was the perfect console for multiplayer and it was our thing
If anyone is looking for Xbox games, LukieGames seems to be running a lot of theirs at a huge sale. Picked up all these CIB Crimson Skies-3.54$ (had to pick this up after seeing it on the stream) Star Wars KOTOR- 7.47$ X-Men Legends- 8.97$ Prince of Persia Two Thrones- 7.68$ Oddworld Munch’s Oddysee- 3.47$ Doom 3- 4.47$ Not sure if these prices are competitive since I’ve just started collecting at the beginning of 2024. But yeah! Have fun everyone
the success of the ps2 is summed by xbox pretty much immediately giving up releasing games when the 360 came out and the ps2 releasing console exclusive games up to 4 years after the ps3 launch
i remember playing the living hell out of the superman returns game on 360 growing up. this version looks so much more bland and weird. maybe im looking at the game through rose tinted glasses now, since im 20 and i grew up playing it when i was like 5, but i remember having a great time on the 360 version.
3:53 Or they just bad games, I feel that you can make a good Superman game and people who say it would be hard to make a game for him don't have enough imagination or they don't have the money to make it work.
Why can't they just make a young superman that's discovering his powers, then when he's older just have an all out powerful superman that the player needs to make sure doesn't destroy the city to catch one bad guy. Maybe have a meter that indicates how much the people love you or hate you. Destroy too many buildings and of course people won't like you regardless of the master criminal u took down. It can be done. It should be done.
No offense, but i dont understand why you didnt mention godfather, scarface, marvel ultimate alliance, call of duty 3, mortal kombat armageddon and a few other titles in this list. Did you cover those games in previous videos or something?
I felt like the final ten games were just a good number. It works for brevity and sets a nice limit. Once you start including so many more games, you begin to exponentially increase the video length, and it is hard to know where to make a cut-off on when to stop, including games like The Godfather, which is around 72 releases away from the first game mentioned here. I feel like when you start going through the final 80 releases, it's not the same idea. This was meant to be a chronological account of those final moments. Hopefully, that explains well enough where I was coming from. Maybe I'll go month by month for 2006 releases or do an extended version later, but I think this was best for this video.
@campxbox I understand where you're coming from in regards to brevity, though I think a video or maybe a series of videos covering 2006 releases by month is a great idea. Frankly, they would be more interesting material to cover than the games in this video since most of these aren't that good. It would be pretty cool to cover all those notable og xbox releases that came out when its successor was already in the limelight. Love your channel btw, just subscribed and am looking forward to seeing more of the lesser known xbox titles being covered.
@ I appreciate the comment and feedback. I'm glad you enjoy the channel! Definitely putting the month-to-month idea down as something to do eventually!
Last 2 for me that i can think of were Operation Flashpoint elite, Doom 3 and Moto GP 3.. Can't bayt the early days of xb live with rainbow six 3 and Halo 2 ever. Ever
I had no idea that Superman Returns was part of the original Xbox I used to have the Xbox 360 version I never did beat that game because I got stuck on this part where you have to protect blimps be hey Superman games suck anyway so hopefully one day we'll have a good Superman game and to date this was the last Superman game that was made
Not surprised the last game is a sports game. That’s usually how it goes with dying consoles. Those games are cheap to make and easy moneymakers. But it is funny to think someone still only owning an original Xbox and buying Madden 09 when people were already massively playing stuff like Halo 3 and COD 4 by then on the 360.
Neo Geo games used to be considered high quality. Then all the mini collection and mini arcade releases. So KOF and etc used to be quality carts. New generation just don't know. Lol
I played both versions of Superman Returns & Ratatouille, and the Xbox 360 versions of both are way better!! Splinter Cell Double Agent [X360] > Splinter Cell Double Agent [OGX]

Speaking of 2006 what about Justice League heroes Marvel Ultimate Alliance and X3 the official game
So sad how the original xbox died that year and the ps2 lasted longer until 2013
It didn't die, it was killed. Microsoft lost too much on every hardware unit sold. They didn't want to keep supporting it.
It's also why they ripped out the standard hard drive on the 360 and cheaped out in every way possible on manufacturing.
Microsoft killed it early and PS2 sold a lot more and had legs in regions and people that couldn’t afford to uograde to PS3/360
@@DP12321 classical microsoft movement
@@DP12321You can actually blame Nvidia for the death of the original xbox. They didn’t allow for die shrinks or any deals to reduce prices over time unlike most other manufacturers.
So the xbox gpu and motherboard never got cheaper or more power efficient. Also Nvidia is generally annoying or terrible to work with.
@@waterheart95It was more Intel than Nvidia.
Xiaolin was one of the best kids shows growing up ever
NFS Carbon was also ported to the OG Xbox in 2006
As much as I think it’s a good game, it feels more like an expansion to NFS Most Wanted than a full on sequel due to its short length
I've always found it strange that PS2 was still receiving new releases well into the PS3's run. Meanwhile GameCube and OG Xbox were forgotten about a year after the releases of Wii and 360 respectively.
Well the ps2 sold a far greater amount leading with 160 million units and GameCube only selling 21 million and Xbox at 24 million.
Sad that such a great system was already being wound down after just 4 years on the market. That's got to be one of the shortest lifespans for a major game system, after the Dreamcast and GBA.
That there were other consoles with weaker software and hardware, which lasted much longer, rubs salt in the wound. Though I can't stay too mad about that part, as at least those systems still got some worthwhile games, and that's ultimately still a good thing!
The xbox cost too much to manufacture, MS would lose money on each console sold due to the hard drive, the Intel processor and Nvidia graphics making a loss of about $200 on each unit. That's why MS opted to sell the base model 360 without a hard drive and why it used a Power PC processor that used in order execution (less instructions per clock cycle compared to intel)
I can’t be the only one who prefers the xbox over the ps2
I prefer the XBOX over the PS2 also. I root for the underdog.
You and that other guy… 😢
You not the only one me and my cousins always preferred to play the Xbox because there was 4 of us so it was the perfect console for multiplayer and it was our thing
I do ps2 was cool but original Xbox was unique

They made a Bass Pro Shops game? Two of them?
Different games like the video said
10:19 - "...please ignore me" - deer
You say you grew up in a football household? Sounds like a real kick
Hah! I did NOT expect to see an IU/Purdue football game in my retro gaming UA-cam feed today. (Or any day.)
Have you played power stone? Very little similarities to monks
the success of the ps2 is summed by xbox pretty much immediately giving up releasing games when the 360 came out and the ps2 releasing console exclusive games up to 4 years after the ps3 launch
i remember playing the living hell out of the superman returns game on 360 growing up. this version looks so much more bland and weird. maybe im looking at the game through rose tinted glasses now, since im 20 and i grew up playing it when i was like 5, but i remember having a great time on the 360 version.
3:53 Or they just bad games, I feel that you can make a good Superman game and people who say it would be hard to make a game for him don't have enough imagination or they don't have the money to make it work.
Why can't they just make a young superman that's discovering his powers, then when he's older just have an all out powerful superman that the player needs to make sure doesn't destroy the city to catch one bad guy. Maybe have a meter that indicates how much the people love you or hate you. Destroy too many buildings and of course people won't like you regardless of the master criminal u took down. It can be done. It should be done.
to be fair, this superman returns game had a sort of similar idea. instead of just superman's health, it also had a city health bar.
@groggroggrog interesting. How about the people approval or the over destruction of the city? Like that hulk game.
No offense, but i dont understand why you didnt mention godfather, scarface, marvel ultimate alliance, call of duty 3, mortal kombat armageddon and a few other titles in this list. Did you cover those games in previous videos or something?
I felt like the final ten games were just a good number. It works for brevity and sets a nice limit. Once you start including so many more games, you begin to exponentially increase the video length, and it is hard to know where to make a cut-off on when to stop, including games like The Godfather, which is around 72 releases away from the first game mentioned here. I feel like when you start going through the final 80 releases, it's not the same idea. This was meant to be a chronological account of those final moments. Hopefully, that explains well enough where I was coming from.
Maybe I'll go month by month for 2006 releases or do an extended version later, but I think this was best for this video.
@campxbox I understand where you're coming from in regards to brevity, though I think a video or maybe a series of videos covering 2006 releases by month is a great idea. Frankly, they would be more interesting material to cover than the games in this video since most of these aren't that good. It would be pretty cool to cover all those notable og xbox releases that came out when its successor was already in the limelight. Love your channel btw, just subscribed and am looking forward to seeing more of the lesser known xbox titles being covered.
@ I appreciate the comment and feedback. I'm glad you enjoy the channel! Definitely putting the month-to-month idea down as something to do eventually!
@campxbox Great, looking forward to seeing that if you get around to it. Take care, man!
PS2 held Xbox and gamecube back limiting them to ps2 style graphics
Last 2 for me that i can think of were Operation Flashpoint elite, Doom 3 and Moto GP 3.. Can't bayt the early days of xb live with rainbow six 3 and Halo 2 ever. Ever
Madden 08 was the last for GameCube
Will it ever be a good superman Game. I played it on 360 doodoowater
Xbox had a superman game as one of the penultimate games
I had no idea that Superman Returns was part of the original Xbox I used to have the Xbox 360 version I never did beat that game because I got stuck on this part where you have to protect blimps be hey Superman games suck anyway so hopefully one day we'll have a good Superman game and to date this was the last Superman game that was made
Oh yeah, sports time
Anybody finds it kinda strange that
Sports titles are always the final game?
The 360 version of Superman returns it the same as the og xbox ps2 just with way prittyer graphics so it's the same game on all platforms
Man these games are rough lol
Madden 08 for the original Xbox is still considered to be the last great Madden game
Not surprised the last game is a sports game. That’s usually how it goes with dying consoles. Those games are cheap to make and easy moneymakers. But it is funny to think someone still only owning an original Xbox and buying Madden 09 when people were already massively playing stuff like Halo 3 and COD 4 by then on the 360.
The OG Xbox sold well as a debut console for MS so it wasn't weird that they allowed Madden 09 for it. Hell, it sold better than GameCube.
Neo Geo games used to be considered high quality. Then all the mini collection and mini arcade releases. So KOF and etc used to be quality carts. New generation just don't know. Lol
Those need to be backwards compatible
Yo I played Superman and ratotou idk how to spell
It's not football. What you're thinking of is Hand Egg.
Should've mentioned Tony Hawk's Project 8
I'd definitely play the OG Xbox version of Ratatouille over the 360 version any day. The 360 version is clunky, slow, badly designed in a lot of ways.
I only play games that have achievements original Xbox is dead
I played both versions of Superman Returns & Ratatouille, and the Xbox 360 versions of both are way better!!
Splinter Cell Double Agent [X360] > Splinter Cell Double Agent [OGX]
Go Redskins!
Tell me you didn't just say that?😂
