Microsoft’s first offering in the home
console market helped usher in a
boatload of classics welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 original
Xbox games it’s official they know we’re
here and they will be coming for us just
so there’s no confusion and I can’t
believe we have to say this we’re
focusing on the very first Xbox not the
Xbox one as usual we’re sticking to one
game per franchise and we’re also
excluding games that were delayed ports
from other systems which does
unfortunately rule out games like GTA
san andreas and morrowind but we spread
for the who number 10 The Chronicles of
Riddick escape from butcher Bay
Vin Diesel kicks off our list with his
underrated stealth adventure under camp
set before the events of 2000’s pitch
black the player takes on the role of
Riddick complete with his ability to see
in the dark as he attempts to break out
of a maximum-security prison where no
prisoner has ever escaped a med station
takes away that hurt leaves the pain
players use Riddick’s enhanced combat
abilities and stealth tactics to try and
break that record Matson set up the
ambush obviously works for rust number 9
Crimson Skies high road to revenge great
that’s just beautiful
the Xbox is answer to rogue leader on
the gamecube Crimson Skies is set in an
alternate history of 1930s North America
where apparently anyone can afford a
plane and a Zeppelin and the number one
public menace is sky pirates
boss I thought you said you could fly
this thing I got us here didn’t I
the campaign set to the theme of a campy
1940s adventure film if you ever wanted
to take to the skies in wacky looking
planes in order to fight giant robot
spiders well look no further but I know
better that sounds looking at a desert
Mirage if I didn’t know better I’d say
you were flirting with me number eight
Project Gotham Racing to on the surface
it may look like a racing sim but under
the hood it’s more of an arcade racer
this game has you build up what’s known
as kudos points to unlock more tracks
and cars and you earn said Kudo points
by pulling off power slides hitting high
speeds and overtaking your rivals the
second entry went further than the first
with the inclusion of online play
number seven Jade Empire Bioware’s first
successful original IP Jade Empire is an
action RPG that uses martial arts combat
and is set in mythical ancient China
where you take on the role of either a
male or female legendary fighter known
as a Spectre or spirit monk spirits are
lost with no shepherd no Guardians you
must restore us mixed with Bioware’s now
signature branching storylines and
morality system and a unique
hand-to-hand combat system fans of Mass
Effect should look to its laurels I will
replenish our supplies and continue my
search elsewhere you will all of course
have to die number 6
Psychonauts the crazy platforming
masterpiece by Double Fine productions
Psychonauts is an action platformer with
a psychotic sense of humor because here
gameplay takes place inside people’s
minds they got Freddy for Freddy he was
such a good secret agent for example one
minute you’re inside the mind of a
paranoid nutjob who has the dream of
being a homicidal milkman I am the milk
man my milk is delicious special
delivery today
and the next you’re a giant monster
destroying a city inhabited by talking
fish will let you piece together the
rest Lily a deranged man man is building
an army of psychic death takes to take
over the world
and there’s no one who can stop him
except for you and me oh my god what
number five fable the Lost Chapters did
Peter Mullan use epic quest live up to
the hype I’ll give you a gold piece for
each good deed you do around Oh clay
maybe not but the impressive fantasy
world a fable is indeed one worth
mentioning is that the best you’ve got
bringing in a good and evil system that
was pretty darn novel at the time and a
tight action RPG combat system it was a
pretty fantastic game though the
over-promising by Peter Molyneux was a
bit obnoxious quick while he’s away
smashes barrels up and say what’s inside
number four Splinter Cell chaos theory
while this game was released on other
consoles at the same time the Xbox
edition is definitely the definitive
version ok I’m going to stay here and
enjoy them to you taking on the role of
covert agent Sam Fisher the game makes
lighting a gameplay feature as the
brighter and area is the more you can
see and be seen by your enemies you can
also interrogate enemies at gunpoint
and sample the badass voice acting by
Michael Ironside you’re just the stupid
one who likes to hurt people that
exactly the whole series was good but
chaos theory is by far the best the
wolfes is the most advanced spy ship in
history
my best man will be on board number
three Ninja Gaiden black after the
franchise had laid dormant since the NES
days developer team ninja gave Ryu
Hayabusa a brand new deadly quest to
hack and slash away other ninja
skeletons and dinosaurs
the enhanced black edition also added
new mission modes and it included the
DLC for free on the disc my strength
comes from training not from some curse
my are you so sure of that nevertheless
try not to get too distracted because
you’ll need ninja reflexes to survive
this game is hard as hell beneath this
monastery there is number 2 Star Wars
Knights of the Old Republic
another Bioware game on this list it
just so happens to be the best Star Wars
game to date for every Jedi the threat
of the dark side is always present said
about 4000 years before the events of
the film series although everything
looks about the same this game has you
hopping between the famous planets of
the Star Wars galaxy while recruiting
memorable allies along the way are you
certain resin is truly dead what if we
undertake to train this one and the Dark
Lord should return there’s also a plot
twist so massive that you really need to
experience it right from the start
in order to appreciate wait this
pathetic planet from the face of the
galaxy before we get to the probably
obvious top spot let’s have a look at
some honorable mentions
number one halo 2 it was pretty obvious
that the top spot was gonna go to a Halo
game the only question was which one
well as the best-selling game on the
original Xbox and the most played game
on xbox live for that system halo 2 was
actually a pretty easy choice I don’t
think they expected us to be here
the first Halo game may have set the
standard for console shooters but its
sequel not only perfected the visuals
and gameplay but also made the Halo
series the definitive Xbox franchise
that’s what I thought he said the
prophet of regret is planning to
activate halo do you agree with our list
o dampen happy can’t complain which
games did you like spinning in your
beast sized console for more massive top
10s published every day be sure to
subscribe to watchmojo.com all right you
