    Pretty much every game that was released multiplatform was always superior on Xbox back then, which made it my console of choice in that era, and still play it regularly nowadays. The early Sega exclusives were Great as well, as the Dreamcast was my primary console before I bought an Xbox.

    Other Original XBOX games that are awesome as well are:
    BLACK
    Max Payne 1 & 2
    Gunvalkyrie
    Dead or Alive 3
    Jade Empire
    Bloodrayne 1 & 2

    Bought an og xbox about 3 months ago from a local store. Was told it worked. Got home, disc drive is shot. Didn't take it back because it's a 1.6b console so no clock capacitor issue. Found a working disc drive on ebay for $40. Just to play The Punisher and both Buffy games. Have gotten some others like ultimate spiderman and the first 2 splinter cell games. The Punisher game is so fun, nothing really special about the gameplay except the special interrogations.
