Late to the party, just got an 360.

Draeven

Ok, i just got a 360 about a week ago. I have rockband and Guitar Hero World tour. I get paid tomorrow and plan to head to our local game store / used game place . I am looking for suggestion as to good games with replayability. I am not that into shooters , other then that. Loooking for some suggestions.

BrotherVoodoo

How much replayability do you want
Fighters obviously are good for that at least if you're playing online

Street Fighter IV
Soul Calibur IV

Xbox is really a shooter console though

I enjoyed
Dead Rising
And Mirror's Edge
oh and Assasin's Creed
and the rest of the games I like mostly have guns as key parts of the game play

Mass Effect is my favourite 360 game, if you are at all into RPGs (I found it easier not playing a soldier character, too)
Bully was huge, surprising fun; I've never played a Rockstar game to completion before, but I couldn't stop playing this (the main story is perhaps not so replayable, but I still just had fun exploring the world)

Draeven

is assasin creed and mirrors edge a shooter though ? i would consider them more of a platformer / adventure game . when i say shooter i mean Halo and gears of war type games. though I am very much interested in picking up street fighter 4 it hasn't been out long enough to make it a very cheap used game, say 15 to 20 bucks.

Assassin's Creed is 3rd person, and not in any way a shooter. I am fucking terrible at console shooters, and the combat in Assassin's Creed is easy to pick up even if you have two left thumbs.

Mirror's Edge is technically a shooter, though the game can be beaten without firing a shot. It uses the basic shooter mechanic of twin sticks, however one need not have pinpoint accuracy to do well in the game. It's not all Halo-like where you need to be able to shoot someone in the head with a pistol from 2 miles away while you're both flying through the air. The game is extremely forgiving.

Hook that mofo up to XBLA and get Castle Crashers, Rez, Pacman CE, and Geo Wars 2.

Erandus

His ISP blocks Xbox Live.

They're a bunch of fudge packers.

He's probably gonna have to drag his xbox 30 mins to my place to get it online for anything at all.

And Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and, when it comes out tomorrow, Shadow Complex.

Draeven

Yeah, i suppose i should of said im on a college style internet hookup so they have the XBlive ports blocked cause of their bandwidth usage. Or i would be all abotu XBLA. Also for replayability im talking about Burnout where even though you have played through a track 10 times its still fun every time.

SteevL

Ouch, that sucks.

Burnout Paradise is supposed to be great, but it sounds like they patched a lot of stuff into the game since its release.

What the hell kind of ISP blocks Xbox Live. Ugh.

Draeven

My isp sadly its glorified dialup , and thats complimenting dialup. I am going to get burn out revenge for sure and then i figure i have enough cash for 2 more titles. So please , HA i beg of you help me out.

Dr. Gero

If you like creating wacky contraptions and vehicles, Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts is pretty fun.

edit: I was going to recommend Geometry Wars and Puzzle Quest for excellent replayability, but I just read above Anyone know if those two are available on disc?

No.

That's why I mentioned them.

Not really. It's just in the same control style and interface as many shooters. It's a platformer that allows you to use a gun, but it's not really a shooter.

Napalm Donkey

Crackdown
Oblivion
even though its FPS get the orange box
