I got my Xbox 360 for free from an insurance claim. i lived in Arizona for a few years and when we moved back to California we had to make 2 trips because of how much stuff we had, after leaving for a few hours we get a call from our neighbor, someone broke in and stole a bunch of stuff we left, including some of my games and GameCube. We put that in our insurance report but my mom didn't know exactly what games I was missing so she asked our neighbor what games he had but listed a bunch of Xbox games instead. After almost a year later i get a massive box in the mail with a letter saying "because they dont sell the OG Xbox anymore we got you the closest thing: a 360 with a bunch of games", it was glorious
I did the same thing bruh I got a bunch of original Xbox games though the 360 wasn’t out
love the Xbox 360 games so much
360 is and was easily the best console ever.
The best generation, hands down. The PS3 and 360 console war forced the industry and developers to create some of the best games to date.
Just purchased bunch of games from the 360 store. Gotta get them all before it's gone. TDU2 is awesome! Even without live features. So good racing game.
Couldn’t tell from your profile picture. NERD.
My favorite console
Condemned really needs to make a comeback, especially with horror games in general getting more and more popular. Also, fun fact, the PC version of American Wasteland is based on the Xbox version, not the Xbox 360 version which has higher resolution textures, making the 360 version the best version to this day.
same with most wanted
It was ahead of it's time for sure
Perfect Dark Zero and Kameo still look amazing to this day. Playing them on Xenia at 4k is unbelievable. It's like every single texture has parallax occlusion mapping and the "bright bloomy flat" looking lighting complements everything 10 fold.
edit:typed all that before watching and love you even more now
I actually found a disc of Need for Speed: Most Wanted for the original Xbox lying in the grass one day when I was walking through my neighborhood as a teen. Can confirm: game absolutely rules and I would have gladly paid for it.
Amped3 was such an interesting experience for me, as I lived in Salt Lake and was snowboarding at Snowbird for years. Seeing it all recreated and it being the entire first map was a “woah, games can take place in my city” realization.
I only bought my 360 because I didn't want to wait 16 months for PS3 to launch to play HD games 😂
I was.....sceptical
I was wrong
One of the best home consoles of all time and the only Xbox that comes _close_ to making that list. Absolute banger ❤
Amped 3 is one of my fav 360 games! Always enjoy going back to play it.
Playing CoD2 on a demo kiosk in Wal-Mart gave me a real “wow!” factor. I wasn’t able to actually buy a 360 until 2008 though (bought it with money I got as a high school graduation gift), but I made sure to get all the launch games I had been eyeing the couple of years the console was out. Of everything on this list, Condemned was the real stand out. I was already a big fan of horror games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, but Condemned having a slightly more grounded element (with still some paranormal elements) and being mainly melee focused made it really stand out, and is still one of my favorites.
call of duty 2 on the futureshop kiosk (best buy in canada back then) is what made me have to get a 360 right away. at the time it was novel to have the actual same game the pc players were getting instead of a console version. and the 60 fps and high resolution on the hd screens looked amazing
Yep, I remember playing the CoD 2 kiosk demo back in 2005 and I was blown away. I don't think I have ever seen such a graphical jump like that from PS2 to 360 in '05.
We pretty much lived out the same scenario. Call of Duty 2 playing on a kiosk at Walmart is what made me want a 360 but I couldn't afford one because I was 13. Got one two years later. Was so hyped for the early years of the console until towards the middle when games started running bad, Microsoft was pushing hard for the Kinect and my console died lol
No one cares
I had the same experience at GameStop.
The 360 is a gold legacy system even with it's hiccups, glad I still have mine with COD 2 and other classics. Fun youthful times.
Awesome video! The 360 was the pinnacle of gaming for my childhood. I was 16 when it came out. Madden 06 was my life for that year. Loved it! I also thoroughly enjoyed Condemned and COD 2!
I miss this generation of consoles so much. So many great games. Xbox Live was at its peak too. Good times.
Nice to see a positive review of Perfect Dark Zero for a change.
Glad I got another PDZ enjoyer.
@campxbox The games good so long as you're not a nitpicky asshole and you just want to have fun I hate Joanna's redesign, but it's like the Halo 4 of Perfect Dark great! But a little bit to get used to.
The Kinect introduced a type of motion control that has become ubiquitous in VR. It was ahead of its time and is underrated.
I remember buying American Wasteland even though I played thru it on my PS2. I had both PS2 and 360 connected to my tv and was switching inputs back and forth to see the difference and I was blown away by the image quality and smoothness of the 360 version. Felt like a new game and had fun replaying it.
In 2008 my dad went into a tech store to buy something and there was a raffle where you had to drop your receipt in a box and they drew a receipt. Well my dad won and he could choose 1 out of the 3 main consoles (360, ps3 and wii). He chose the xbox and got an arcade pack with kung fu panda and lego indiana jones. Best decision ever :)
Launch day at Circuit City! 10 consoles available and I got #9. Only had enough for the console itself so my mom offered to buy King Kong because we loved the movie. That turned out to be a really cool and unique game and I have it to this day.
Now I wanna play them all again 😅 great video.
Thank you! Many of these are still well worth playing today!
Great nostalgic video, your character creations for NBA 2K and Tiger Woods absolutely killed me by the way lmao.
Take a shot every time he says launch lol. The Xbox 360 had a phenomenal launch lineup (takes shot). I remember getting mine not long afterwards in April 2006 with. Kameo. Condemned. Quake 4. Ridge racer 6 and dead or alive 4. I those games kept me busy for months. Fond memories playing those games. Currently in a 360 mood recently :).
I went with PGR3, call of duty 2, condemned and Perfect Dark on launch. The most fun I ever had with any launch system
That's a great selection! I'm sure that was hours of fun.
I managed to find a copy of 360 Most Wanted 05 a few months ago for a good deal and so glad I have it.
The Xbox 360 had a really strong launch lineup I wish all these games were backward compatible, especially Quake 4. Odd that King Kong managed to be backward compatible despite all the licensing issues inherent with movie games.
I agree! I didn't even realize it was BC till making this video.
That King Kong game freaked me out as a kid and I loved it
I was in grade 11 when the 360 came out. Playing Perfect Dark Zeros Campaign with a friend from school through Xbox LIVE was awesome. After we finished it though, we went back to Halo 2 until Halo 3 came out.
The Xbox 360 was great, I bought it on the day it was released and Call of Duty 2 Amped 3 Need for Speed: Most Wanted and last but not least Condemned: Criminal Origins unfortunately I was a victim of the Ring of Death but to this day I don't regret it I bought it on day 1.
I remember working at a GameStop during the launch of the Xbox 360, and there's no denying it had a great selection of titles day one. Call of Duty 2, Condemned, and Perfect Dark Zero were definitely the exclusives that stood out for me out of the bunch at that time, and while I didn't have a 360, those are the ones I'd always play at my friend's house lol. Condemned was a terrifying game for sure! Perfect Dark Zero was nowhere near as outstanding as the N64 original, but I still had fun playing it overall, especially in co-op. While I played the multiplatform games on the GameCube, I did revisit King Kong on the 360 through the X1, and that game still holds up as an intense, unique experience. Fantastic episode covering every launch title man!
Thank you I really appreciate it!
You did a absolutely fantastic job putting this all together in a in-depth & concise video!
I couldn't find a Xbox 360 new for less than $800 to $1000 new on Ebay for the first couple of years, so I had to play "Gun", "The Godfather" & "NFS Most Wanted" all on my then new original Xbox, as badly as I wanted a new 360. For myself it boiled down to wanting a Xbox 360 just to play "Call of Duty 2", "Dead Rising" & especially "Full Auto", which blew me away at that time!
Yeah Dead Rising was one of those essential 360 purchases. Glad you enjoyed the video!
The only ones that I have played are Perfect Dark Zero and Quake 4. I really enjoy both games. Yeah I actually enjoy Quake 4 on the Xbox 360.
I’ve always considered the King Kong game to be super underrated as I think it balances two completely different gameplay styles and mechanics in a fair and fun way, when playing as Jack you truly feel like anything can kill you within seconds and it’s more of a survival experience especially with how limited the ammo and overall weapon selection is, and as Kong you truly feel giant and epic as an gorilla who can take down dinosaurs and other monsters with relative ease, that’s one game I really wish would be either remade or remastered for modern platforms
Man that system was special ! It was the first system I was able to buy for my self as a kid working at the local coffee shop. I bought oblivion, condemned and gears of war ! That was a magical time to be gaming
will forever hold Kameo close to my heart. that right there is my childhood. imo its a masterpiece 😂
Got mine with Amped 3 COD2 NFS Kameo PDZ and Condemned on launch night. Last time my dad took me to a midnight launch. Great times.
CoD2 on Veteran still my favourite campaign on an FPS.
Remember the achievements on the launch games. There's a 300gs achievement in Fifa road to the world cup haha.
Yeah that could be its own video haha Like how condemned is only worth 970 GS
I still play some of these games HA
Regardless on how much I love my Series X and how much time I spend on it. The Xbox 360 is still my favourite console of all time and will remain that forever as far as I can see. My favourite games of all time were on this console, and my favourite childhood memories were on this console. So thank you Xbox 360 for shaping me into the person I am.
Awesome video I love watching these because of the memories that they bring back keep up the good work man
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you!
Have you guys noticed how expensive 360 games are getting right now? I have never seen prices shoot up this high this fast, and I remember when Saturn, GameCube, NES, 64, etc all had their jump in price.
Could be cause they're backwards compatible
@@waverazor That and the online marketplace is shutting down soon, so all of em that are available digitally wont be (though i dunno how this works buying them from Xbox One/Series)
Some 360 games are just about gone from eBay. 0 listings
Keep up the great content dude, I'd love to see more 360 videos from you, specially something regarding "must have games" before the store closes. Cheers!
something you should know: perfect dark zero's music is glitched on anything past the 1.0 patch of the game, ruining the xbone version too. you have to play it without the internet now to get music properly working
Amazing video dude! Keep it up!
Great vid, as they always are. Im currently playing through the Xbox 360 launch lineup and reviewing as I go. Its insane how stacked a lineup it was really. Probably too many games. Seem to remember the first half of 2006 only had Dead or Alive and Ridge Racer in it, could have pushed PDZ or Quake 4 back to there too. Probably why some launch games didnt sell as well as hoped
By the way, there's a revised version of "Quake 4", that came out in either 2012 or early 2013. It has far better frame rate performance & has a small Gamestop exclusive logo on the cover. It also comes with a very nice fold-out "Quake 4" poster inside but no 2nd disc with "Quake 2". I own both versions & love the game, setting, great action & music as well.
Actually, Quake 4 was Chris Vrenna. Reznor composed the iconic ambient soundtrack for Quake 1 and 1 only.
@@NebLleb Thank you for the info, I thought Reznor had his hand in it.
This was the goat of launches. This is how you sell consoles. Add in Dead or Alive 4 and Burnout Revenge for being alittle late but still also fit in with these early gen games with Gears of War and Oblivion coming a year later was insane. It'll never be like this again.
God I loved the King Kong game, oddly enough I had it on GameCube but played it on my Wii lmao. Condemned was great too, awesome video
Great video! Condemned is a fantastic game. Also enjoy your creativity in your “create a player” for the sports games.
Glad you enjoyed it! I see a character creator and I have to push it to it's limits haha
Condemned was a launch title??? God damn what a stellar addition to the lineup. CoD2, Amped 3 and Condemned really are all you'd need. Games like Kameo were also stellar alternatives.
Commenting for your engagement. Awesome video as always
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Condemned was the reason I got a 360. That game is awesome to this day
It really is awesome. It was the last launch game left that I hadn't played, but I just got the game a couple days ago cause I wasn't a big horror game fan when the 360 released, so I latched onto CoD2, NFS Most Wanted, American Wasteland, and PGR3 due to prior experience with the franchises. Condemned definitely stands alongside those games as one of the best launch games for the 360.
I was there! On launch day, I called off work and called around to find available consoles. I found one at Walmart. I was given a number and waited 8hrs to get it. I chipped my tooth on a hotdog and met some cool people. I’d do it all over again!
Chipped your tooth on a hotdog? Damn dude, was there a chunk of bone or somethin in it?
@@empire0 yep, sure did. Kinda ruined hotdogs for me.
I never see one hour video in CZcams but man your video was very well from the beginning to the end!!! And Xbox 360 had a great launch title, great exclusive game and for me the best Xbox live arcade!!! The best Xbox console ever!!!
Need for Speed: Most Wanted was awesome! Perfect Dark was meh, but I didn't have high speed Internet in my small town at the time so playing with bots gave it much more value for me. Call of Duty 2 had a great campaign!
The Xbox 360 is my favorite game console!! I have all the launch titles! Awesome channel man
XBOX TEAM ❎❎🎮🎮
360 had an awesome launch lineup.
Launching consoles used to be special, the 360 and oh ñaunched with so many games, even the xbox one did pretty well but series x launched with nothing. Very sad state of affairs
The PS5 launch wasn't better than Xbox Series X. It launched with a $70+ remake of a PS3 game and a car combat game I cannot even remember its name.
Imagine if PS5 at least had Bloodborne 2 and Halo Infinite made the Xbox Series X launch and didn't suck.
Yeah the Series X launch was mainly just upgrades of last gen titles.
@campxbox, Same for PS5. At times, it doesn't even feel like we've left the 8th generation of consoles.
And both Sony and Microsoft are already teasing the next Xbox or PlayStation.
Impressed with this video. 360 8s even better than i remember. Great work
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you!
Man, I used to re-launch FIFA 06 a number of times just to get my fav players of the brazilian team in the practice arena 😂
Whatever, I adore every single launch title, despite the issues and lack of features in most of them. Owning and playing these titles feels special.
Ridge racer 6 best arcade racing game of x360 the final route is super hard 🔥 👌
I'm still playing PGR3. Not the 4th. I said the 3rd. I don't know why, but it's still amazing and fun today.
It was actually a really strong launch lineup in hindsight - I got Perfect Dark Zero and CoD 2 with mine. Consoles these days never really launch with anything close to that selection of games.
Quake 4 mentioned. 🔥
Of the games in this video my 5 favorite 360 launch games were:
1) Call of Duty 2
2)PGR
3)Kameo
4)King Kong
5) Perfect Dark Zero
I remember being blown away by CoD2 the first time I tried a demo of it at Best Buy, the volumetric smoke really caught my eye. PDZ is a weird one because PD on N64 is one of my all time favorite games and PDZ falls FAR short or that game. That said I don’t think it’s a bad game, just a bad PD game.
But really my favorite Xbox 360 launch game was Geometry Wars Retro Evolved. I easily played that more than anything until Oblivion came out.
But the 360 definitely had a strong launch line up. I don’t think it was as strong as the OG Xbox’s launch line up, but still strong.
Great top 5! It makes sense that Geometry Wars would be your favorite that game was addicting as hell at launch and still is.
I do think I should have gone into that a bit more in the PDZ section. It's a really fun game, in my opinion, but it definitely isn't as good as the original Perfect Dark.
I love the original Xbox and the Xbox 360. Thank you for making this channel. ❤
Thank you for watching!
Kameo is honestly an underrated game. Sure it has its shortcomings, but there's actually fun to be has.....
also respect for the game to feature Rare's first fully orchestral soundtrack
The amped series was one of my favorites (particularly 2) shame xbox never did anything with em. Woupdve been nice to at least bring them back with backwards compat
Who knows maybe one day .. they’re owned by 2k and they just revived the topspin series which was also originally an xsn game just like amped
First console I ever camped out for. Rip circuit city.
As much as I grumbled about the 360's poor technical performance, that's one heck of a launch lineup!
I also really like that exaggerated, shiny, high-fidelity, 2000s aesthetic that Kameo and PDZ exemplified (and which we saw some of with the GameCube and Xbox circa 2001).
PS: Bonus points for PDZ using XP-era Windows Media Player visualizations in the nightclub- since that was contemporary back then, of course! :P
I'm a simple man, of simple desires.
I see Amped 3 in the thumb,
I watch it
The 🐐 is back again
As much as I enjoyed cod 2 I was absolutely devastated that they removed health packs. And I still hate it in modern games. At least in halo it makes sense because of your shield but in cod etc it’s stupid.
I love your channel
Call of duty 2 was the first 360 game I played at a sears kiosk, perfect dark zero was the first game I bought on 360
Kameo is my favorite Rare game, perfect dark zero I only played through it for the first time last year and it had fun moments but a lot of frustrating moments to get through I just think the controls felt too imprecise
Kameo is a common game.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits seems to me like a modern counterpart to Kameo, like a state-of-the-art rendition of the same type of game and its themes.
PURE is still the best ATV game hands down , like SSX tricky but with ATVs and banger soundtrack
27:29 the jumpshot alone brings me back 😂💧 I loved playing NBA Live until 2K6, EA also did badges/takeover before 2K but it was op as hell for stars…When it comes down to it NBA Live 05 was probably the last best ea basketball game in my opinion
Just finished a new playthrough of condemned all these years later… Games are not made the same as they used to.
Amped 3 is so underrated
Good vid. I’d love a list of tracks used in the video if it’s not too much ask. I really like a lot of these tunes
Yeah no worries! I make a lot of the tracks here and pull a lot of my favorite game music here and there. If it says Camp Xbox, it was made by me. Here is each song that is used:

@@campxbox Ah thanks! That's awesome that you make your own tracks. I'm into production as a curiosity, but more of an instrumentalist. These sound great!
The 360 version of Gun was featured in the Psycho Dad video, “Psycho Dad shreds video games”
Condemned and perfect dark zero needs a remake earlier today i was playing condemned and i was thinking what if they remake this game how would it look on today's gen
Love that they put "Work That" by Disco D in NBA 2K6. A ghettotech classic 🔥🔥🔥
I did for Christmas get Xbox 360
Your golf character 😍😂
PGR racing 2 is my favorite racing game ever.
Test Drive le mans on the Dreamcast is my second
Nice to see that there are some more fans of Perfect Dark Zero. It wasn't perfect but so unqiue. Artstyle was very intense, and it kinda looked like how we imagined graphics improvements, it had that RHCP Californication quality, kinda like when you look at early graphic cards demos.
That's a great way to put it! It does have a graphics card demo quality to it. I always enjoyed PDZ and I went back recently to see if it was worse than I remembered but I still had fun with it.
Check out the Ruby: The Double Cross demo for ATI’s Radeon GPUs from 2004 for that Perfect Dark look and feel!
@@Banzeken exactly what kind of visuals i meant :) It shows how people thought games of the future will look like. And i really dig it.
Now that we’re almost 2-3 months away from the 360 marketplace shutting down, most of those game will probably go up. Although there’s a plethora of copies out there, people will panic buy and raise the prices on these.
Favorite console is 360? Meet your new best friend
I could be wrong but respawning health was halos thing and that was a major contributor to other games adoption. 😊
For me PS and Xbox just gave up after the 7th gen. Great video and a great console
Fun fact about the announcer in RR6, you can turn it off or swap him for Heihachi from tekken and he screams at you in japanese
Lmao did not know that. Absolutely love that.
Need For Speed Most Wanted and Need for Speed under ground 2 was my child hood 😅 😢
Such a shame the 360 marketplace shuts down this July
I want Most Wanted but I just cant justify the price its going for rn
The only problem I had with Perfect Dark Zero was how low the sensitivity was, even at it's highest setting. I wish they would make a new game in the series...Played the multi-player on N64 and 360 forever.
The xbox 360 is a beast even on launch day.
Condemned needs a remake and a VR port, it was an amazing game. The sequel was a disappointment in comparison to the first. Kameo deserves a sequel, had a great time with that and it was impressive at the time.
Condemned in VR sounds scary as hell.
Kameo elements of power is suck a great game.
It also has a 4k upgrade on the Xbox Series X
360 was MS’s best system by far. I feel like they’ve lost their way.
Didn't get the original Xbox at release, but I did the Xbox 360. Loved CoD2, Condemned Criminal Origins, and even Quake 4. I was very disappointed with Perfect Dark Zero. The multiplayer is fine, but the single player was a terrible follow up to the original N64 Perfect Dark.
CoD2 was great, but a next gen Halo at launch would've likely beaten its sales numbers. CoD didn't become the sales juggernaut until after CoD4MW 2007. By CoD Black Ops 1 2010, no other AAA FPS topped CoD at the time, not even Halo Reach or Battlefield.
Really do miss the Xbox 360 years. Looks like we'll never see anything like it again.
Sittin on 22s, GPS.
Pointin me straight to where the powpows fresh.
