"XBOX - LONGEST THREAD"

Yes, it`s been done before.
No, it won`t be as lond as the FOG version.


Why am I trying it out anyway?

The XBOX forum is a very interesting place to be, but it can also be a little quiet. I though perhaps if we had a topic with several hundred replies lurking at the top, things would look more popular.

Feel free to use the topic to talk about anything. Either the latest XBOX game, latest ideas for including some female star in a game etc... or even just the usual chat that happens all over.

As I expect this to fail, I`ve decided to spend a little while pushing up the replies. No spamming, just lots of nonsense :-)

Any help would be great, it`d be boring to have a whole topic with replies from only me.

Hello? Any one alive round here?

*pops his heads out*
yup i've been hiding here :D

Yeah, it seems that way.
In many ways, the Xbox reminds me of the Dreamcast - what with JSR, PGR, Shenmue 1,2,3 (hopefully), Crazy Taxi 3, online gaming, etc.
Just hope it lasts a bit longer than the DC.

I often wonder how good the DC would be right NOW if it had been a commercial success.....

Hey nomad I take it this is where all the folks from the dreamcast forum have been hiding!!

It seems to me that JSRF is more about being a "platformer on skates" than about spraying graffiti.
I agree with what's been said, the QTE graffiti on the Dreamcast version was better, but JSRF is all round a better game - some of the stages are awesome.

yeah i agree its bigger and smoother then the 1st but to just press a button to spray is to easy, but again a very enjoyable game

I prefer the way the graffiti worked on the DC version - it was more addictive.
On JSRF you can press down the left analogue stick to grind by the graffiti as you spray though, which helps matters.

The story mode can be frustrating at times, but I really like the "street chalenges" and of course the time trials - there's lots to unlock.
I've clocked up 27 hours game time so far and I've still got loads of stuff to do.

I rented it this morning, part of my new formula, instead of getting oxm for £6 I get an unofficial mag(XGamer) and rent a game I would consider buying for £3 for 3 days, 1p cheaper then getting oxm.
its worth getting if you hadnt played the dreamcast original, sure it looks better and is easier to play, but its just missing that something something from the 1st.
The fact that you just have to press a button to do the graffiti rather then the QTEs with the anologe stick annoys me.
But on the plus side the 4 players fun and its still a friggin great one player game!!!

I should be getting JSF:R tomorrow for my GAD win - I'm so excited!!

I've heard some pretty mixed opinions of it - what do you lot think?

You hate your x-box then :)
