Jolly Rogers Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Wow, slim pickings... he asked for the top 3 and no one's managed to get past 1 yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armentage Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 There's that old D&D game that uses the same engine as X-Men. It's up-to 4 players at once. You can save your character's progress, and you level as you gain experience. The game play is just like the old Gauntlet, but in 3-D, and you have a lot more abilities. You can gain new abilities too, as you level up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw Samurai Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 If you have friends, X-Men Legends, D&D Heroes, and Baldur's Gate are all very good Gauntlet style hack and slashers, but they're not as much fun by yourself. Return of the King is a fun pure arcade action 'Double Dragon'-esque hacker that you can play with someone else. If you want to hack and slash your way in a somewhat historical setting, with one of the Dynasty Warriors (3 is probably the better X-Box one) or Samurai Warriors will through you in the middle of battlefields with thousands of grunts to slaughter....but if like that idea, but prefer sci-fi, you can pick up Crimson Sea which is basically the same except for the enemies being aliens. Fable, as mention, is a decent simple hack and slash RPG game (now that all the hype is buried, people can actually enjoy it without being disappointed over what it was promised to be). For hacking and slashing that includes a lot of jumping (and crontroller throwing), Ninja Gaiden might also be up your alley. If I was home, I'd dig into my stash to see if there's more, but the above it a good start. I'm not much of a hack and slasher except for the group ones (although I'm one of those DW/SW addicts), so generally if I picked it up, it was really good.

Dax415 Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 Thanks for the suggestions, I'll be sure to check them out. Samurai Warriors sounds really cool, let me know if you come up with other games to check out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Jenius Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Otogi 2 is pretty cool as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeszekely Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Dynasty Warriors 3 Dynasty Warriors 4 Samurai Warriors Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II Fable The Bard's Tale: Song of the Bard Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Lord of the Rings: Return of the King Demon Stone I'm going to vote against Ninja Gaiden. I'll give it all the credit in the world for the stunning visuals and incredible production values, but who the hell came up with hard = old school = fun, and therefore, the harder a game is, the more fun it must be? Don't get me wrong, I like a challenge, but Ninja Gaiden was a game where the regular enemies were on equal footing as you, they outnumbered you like 8 to 1 most of the time, and the bosses were ridiculously hard. Maybe I'm getting soft in my old age, but I'd go as far as to say that Ninja Gaiden was too hard to be fun. Oh, and Sudeki fits the genre of fantasy hack'n'slash, I suppose, but it sucked. And they're making a new Gauntlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, the game is hard. But who wants to spend good money on a game with an overused engine (Dynasty/Samurai Warriors) or a title the can beat in practically one sitting (Demon Stone)? ps Fable would be a close second, followed by the Onimusha remix for the XBox.

yellowlightman Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 And if you don't have OutRun2 yet, you should buy that as well. It's not a hack n' slash, but it's a game ever Xbox owner should own, especially because it's so cheap ($20!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppy Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I'm going with milkman, Baldur's Gate was fun. Also, Morrowind sucked up about 100+ hours of my time. Fable was good, but the game ended about when it felt like it should be getting good. way too short. I heard some rumours that a 1.5 version would be released but I don't know if it's gonna happen.

A challenge is fun, but Ninja Gaiden isn't really challenging... it's hard for the sake of being hard. Too hard to actually be fun, in my opinion.

But you have to admit....it does make life interesting for you and your neighbors. I think back to all the cursing I did while playing Thunder Force II and III, not to mention Lightening Force (TFIV) and how my neighbors knew it wasn't a domestic dispute-it was just that crazy kid next door stuck on another video game.
