OK I've got an XBox, Halo rocks, and I want a new game, but am unsure which one to get. So far I have rented the following:
Project Gotham
- Looks OK but far too much to do and using Nosliw I found it no more interesting so thought why would I want to buy it?
Jet Set Radio Future
- Not worthy of the 'Most beautiful game in the world' tag, fairly good fun, but soon became repetitive
Dave Mirra 2
- Far too awkward and irritating
Dead or Alive 3
- Completed story mode with all 16 characters in just under one hour to find out I had gained nothing with respect to the games progression but a few videos to watch. Severely lacking longevity.
Rallisport Challenge
- Looks amazing, but lacks in my view any deepness to keep me coming back for more
So, any advice on something else to buy? Maybe a sports game, or an RPG/Adventure game (though I know these are hardly in large supply on XBox)

surely having a lot to do is a good thing...it's a very challenging and fun game....using the cheat is just pointless.

i've found this game brilliant...but if you find it too repetitive then there's not a lot i can do about it.

to get the extra costumes should you want them and the extra hidden character you have to battle through survival mode and stuff (not TOTALLY sure) to get them...meant to be very challenging

havent tried this myself...but am very interested in it.
other games you might consider trying:
oddworld munch's oddysee -platform adventure game
amped -freestyle snowboarding game.
