Just played the Battlestar Galactica game (based on the old series, but it does feature Cylon raiders from the new series) I bought cheaply (6 euros) for the (original) Xbox and it just was too hard for me as you were immediately thrown into the kind of mad dogfights you expect only the likes of Starbuck and Apollo to handle.
Since I did not train 5-10 yahrens to become an experienced Viper pilot I was pretty miserable and took tonnes of Cylon fire without even scratching the paint on one of their raiders.
A game like that could benefit much from having training missions, which enable you to gradually feel your way into the game. But most current games feature the old sink or swim tactic where you have to excel from the start or die pitifully.
So anyone got recommendations for Xbox games with a smooth learning curve? Preferably action or racing games.
Up till now I've played the Xbox less than 1 hour just because of these overly complex games which make me quit after 10 minutes.
Boy: "Have you met monsters before?" The Doctor: "Yes."
Boy: "Are you scared of them?" The Doctor: "No, they are scared of me!"
Another vote for Lego Star Wars here! I've been caning the hell out of this game for the last 2 weeks and I can't recommend it enough. It's really tongue in cheek humour, and it's a great two player co-op game.
Lol, I'm still stuck at the first boss. Funny game, though. It doesn't really feel unfair, it's just brutally fucking hard. Too hard for me and I'm unlikely to ever see any content beyond the first boss.
Panzer Dragoon Orta. I played it again for the first time in about a year last night; it's nice and easy, with a good bit o' depth, and bloody beautiful with it.
If u can find it, Metal Arms was a classic, I also found halo/halo 2 easy to play, had alot of fun with some of the platform games, that features some aussie dingo throwing a boomerang, can't quite remember its name thou. If u like fighting games, Mortal Kombat:Deception was pretty good, with lots of goodies inside, I'd stay away from mk:amageddon thou found it quite easy and finished it quickly.
Crimson Skies
Midnight CLub 3 is piss easy
San Andreas does away with concepts such as difficulty save fora couple of missions which a read of an FAQ usually makes easier
