The Next Generation Gaming Console – An Xbox 360 Review
Right now there are three of the so called next generation gaming consoles on the market for you to choose from – the Nintendo Wii, the Playstation 3, and the Xbox 360. I have used and written about both the Wii and the Playstation, so now it is time for the Xbox 360 review.
Xbox 360 – An In Depth Look
Out of the box the Xbox 360 is a far cry from its predecessor. The original Xbox was big, black and clunky looking. The new unit is anything but. It is far smaller, although not as small as the Wii or Playstation, and white in color. For the first part of the Xbox 360 review I give it a 7 out of 10 for appearance.
While appearance for some people is important, if you are a hardcore gamer this is probably the least important thing. So let’s dive down into the next part of the Xbox 360 review and look at the games that are available. This is not an Xbox 360 game review, but rather a look at the titles you can get. The first thing that stands out for this Xbox 360 review is that the Xbox is the only system that you can get Halo for. While it has been ported to PC, the game play on the console is far superior. The Halo series is perhaps my favorite of all time and this is a big plus in favor of the Xbox. While the single player is fun, this game truly shines with the multiplayer options, but I will get into that in the next section. For game titles I this Xbox 360 review gives the system a 9 out of 10.
The next thing that is really important when you get a gaming is system is the multi player options. The original Xbox blew its competition out of the water, and while Playstation and the Wii are catching up the Xbox 360 is still leading the pack. You can find games easily; get content, and almost all of the games released for the system offer multiplayer support. The Xbox 360 review score for its multi player is a 10 out of 10. I find it hard to believe that they could improve on this much.
The Xbox 360 in my mind is the best system if you are looking for online action. It does not have the fun aspect of the Wii and most of the games are more adult in flavor. The Wii owns the market in fun, interactive games. For non online adult games the Playstation 3 might have a slight edge, but if it does it is very slight and the Xbox 360 can keep up with in almost every regard.
Well there you have it, hopefully this Xbox 360 review has helped you to make your decision.
