Disney Studios released Pure last week, and if you played the demo, you probably got hooked. Even if you're not ready to plunk down $60 to trick out on your ATV, there are other great deals to be found. The Goozex Report breaks down the most popular racing games available for the Xbox 360, complete with current values for each of the games, along with their Metacritic scores. This is a must-read for gamers who prefer to trade than buy.
Quote from site:
"Whilst its reasonable looking, it does not even touch the likes of Burnout or Gran Turismo. This is a real shame as the bad looks don't stop there, the cars themselves look really dated, very square edges, and dull looking, it even borders on lazy, go for a 3rd person view and look behind you, take a turn and your driver does not even move to steer, however the in car view at least makes him turn the steering wheel and it also has a better sense of speed. Even the drift effect is really poor, hang behind another car and there will be a few wispy, hair-like lines around the car, whilst it does the job in showing the drift, it looks lame. Overall the graphics are more like last gen PS2 or Xbox rather than a 360 title".
The Xbox 360 has been out for more than two years now, and while there have been a lot of great games released in that time, the 360 has seen its fair share of bad games as well. There isn't quite anything as epically terrible as Drake of the 99 Dragons or Aquaman like we saw on the original Xbox, where Xbox fans are proud to have them in their collection like a badge of honor, but there are plenty of stinkers that could reach those heights of fame and misfortune. Check out our full list of the Ten Worst Xbox 360 Games right here.
In all fairness, Sonic the Hedgehog was garbage across all platforms. With that said, I am actually looking forward to the DS sonic game because it is been developed by Bioware.
i doubt it is as bad as hour of victory. I got it from a friend and it was terrible. Worst use of Unreal engine yet. The faces look like they were made with mud
Not a good game at all.
Actually this whole list I agree with. The biggest disappointments being Blacksite Area51 and Two Worlds because I had high hopes for both of those games so they stung extra hard when I found they were not very good.
They got the list of worst 360 games just about right with many top PS3 games in it.
I played about 15 minutes of lair at a friends. Thats about 10 more minutes than i played Gundam. I really dont even know why i played Gundam im no fan of the show or whatever it is.
Trust me that game belongs in the garbage, not a console.
I actually like Dynasty Warriors Gundam. Now Gundam Crossfire. That is a real, sh!tty game.
Make sure you don't take away the horrible glory of Area 51 away from PS3!! Let's people rag on something other than Lair (I liked Lair actually, just like if you hear horrible things about a movie, its hard to live up to the awfulness)
I never played the first one. I am sure Blacksite would have faired better if it hadn't come out at the end of the year during the golden months of last year.
My expectations were probably a little too high because I enjoyed the first one a lot, but they should of delayed it for a few months. It would probably made the game a whole lot better.
to 5.1 its not saying that the 360 is bad its just a look at the worst games that developers have made. just funny to talk about some of the games people made and there problems . dont go and stick up for 360 when no one is attacking it and just have a laught
Actually wasn't sticking up or putting down either. I only have a PS3, so I know it was a rough game for me on that. Plus I was just bored and felt like commenting. Wasn't one of my "deep thought provoking" posts. :)
Nothing like driving in virtual circles for hours on end!!
Microsoft has released more demos and content on live this month than sony has released on the PSN since the ps3 launched lol.
Keep em coming!
I'm trying not to judge the final product from a demo, but I was kind of disappointed with it. You don't get the sense of speed that NASCAR Thunder gave you, it seems there will only be 12-players allowed in an online race opposed to the 40 or so I kept hearing about, and the graphics didn't blow me away, not that it's important to me. I guess I was just expecting more. For it being the first NASCAR game on current gen consoles, you'd think EA would try a little harder.
And NASCAR may be boring to some people, but it's just another form of racing. It's basically going around in a semi-circle as fast as possible without losing control, with the occasional road courses thrown in. Of course, they make it more arcadey for the video games.
just when i was worried that xblm would run out of demos, lol
I'm picking up a copy of this for PS3 today. Can't wait to play me some next gen Nascar!
