I was going to get it at full price but just can;t afford it, but my mum has kindly agreed to buy me an xbox and 1 game and let me pay her back for the next three weeks. The only problem i have is getting a game that will last me a while and which i can keep coming back too and showing off the power of the xbox (hey i gotta impress some mates! :D ), i have quite a few games in mind but i'm not sure , so its better if i ask the owners, the ones are am considering are

Halo,quite simply it looks a stunner, although a few of you are disappointed i personally think it could take a big chunk of my time up, does it impress?

DOA3 , i rekon this is a game to show off the graphics, but is it really good enough to keep me coming back to it?

Project Gotham Racing - Loos the business, but is the gameplay decent, and how would you rate its longivity?


Any help would be great, cheers!

Halo.
The first game you should buy is Halo.
It's awesome.
The best game I've played for a long time.
FPS aren't my favourite genre either, but Halo is different.
Buy Halo first.
You won't be disappointed.

i'd go for halo or project gotham racing..
doa3 is a really good game...but i think it is more for multiplayer than single player.
jsrf is wicked too but if you the sort of person who just wants to finish asap then don't buy it JUST YET.

I'm buying an Xbox this Friday, and I'm starting off with HALO and JET SET RADIO FUTURE.

"Halo" - played it quite of lot at a mate's and it is as good as the reviews say it is. Intense action and gorgeous graphics.

"JSRF" - one of my favourite games on the Dreamcast was Jet Set Radio, so I can't wait to get my mits on the sequel. For gameplay and style, it can't be beaten.

And then there's "Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller" - I'm counting the days for that beauty!

Halo.
Without question.

If you like shooty games, this rules. It is, apart from Medal of Honour on the PC, the best FPS I've played.
Graphics are phenomenal, gameplay is furious and perfect and with multiplayer it can't be beaten.

Only with games which support it.

The only one I have which does is PGR.

It's with quite a few but only about 50%.

Project Gotham does (to great effect) and so does Tony Hawk's 3 - I believe Amped does too.

While we're on the subject, Halo, Obi Wan, Wreckless, JSRF and F1 2002 don't.
