Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic

$22.00 Est. at Amazon

from shopping.yahoo.com
they should represent and above all charicter development is slow and boring, i would like to see a star wars game that truely mocks the original orgin that was created once upon a time by lucus.
from shopping.yahoo.com
kotor has great graphics, music, and character development.
from www.amazon.com
it uses the dungeons and dragons d20 system and focuses heavily on the moral development of your main character--ie, you can choose to be good or evil through your words and actions.
from www.amazon.com
this game simply had the best twist in the plot that i have seen since the metal gear/solid snake games (for those who understood the developments).
from www.amazon.com

Jade Empire

$86.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the story and character development that come along in the game as you play it through is amazing with beautiful scenery, history, and culture within the game as well.
from www.amazon.com
like fable, it does start off slow (plot development/training, etc.), but once your main character begins his/her quest, the game really takes off.
from www.amazon.com
so while i hadn't really tracked the development or feature set of jade empire, and i haven't been playing many games at all the last year or so - i decided to pick it up.
from www.amazon.com
it's great and all but all too often the plot developments and dialogue becomes a "talking head" type situation where anyone who has something important to say gets a close up of their face while

plus, a game in development as long as this had to live up to at least half its expectations, right?

i liked all the collectible items such as the development black book, the silver sharpie and the music cd.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

unlike development of a pc game updates are not possible on the xbox until it has its isp up and running.
from www.amazon.com
when i think not only of how massive the world in it is, but how deep the storylines running through it goes, it's mind-boggling to think about how much development must have gone into this game.
from www.amazon.com
the character development is unheard of, you can change your character in so many ways, you can be a warrior for a while then learn magic, it dousn't matter.

Halo: Combat Evolved

$14.00 Est. at Amazon

from shopping.yahoo.com
for the most part, these flaws are small and hardly noticable and most likely are due to the fact that the game's development was somewhat rushed, damn deadlines.
from www.amazon.com
i followed its development online, downloaded all the movies and waited with broken heart as features fell out of the game.much like going to see a film you've been interested in for a long time
from www.amazon.com
it presented a blend of excitement and gameplay that was unmatched then, and is still unmatched now.i followed its development with interest and was pleased to see that it was living up to its hype.
from www.amazon.com
however, things like this happen when a game is switched from one medium to another during development (halo was originally going to launch on the pc).
from www.amazon.com
there i played about an hour of halo and talked with part of the development team.the game is beautiful, one of the best looking games i've seen.

NBA 2K6

year round recruiting and in-season player development was a great feature...the game play was fun, although many of my games froze towards the end.
from www.amazon.com
in the season you can set up practices, do player development drills (which you perform yourself with a player), and all the normal stuff like trade and release players.

i know pro football brings in the big bucks, and the nba is barely a close second, but...maybe ea needs to switch their development teams around for next years installments...

Mercenaries for Xbox

from www.amazon.com
in terms of character development (of both your character and various ones you encounter along the game), mercenaries is rather flat and uninteresting, compared to gta.

"the storyline and action work well, but the long development time has left halo 2 looking very stale compared with some of the games that have appeared since its xbox debut."

i really feel like bungie dropped the ball , i mean just look at the endin ofthe single player, two and a half years of development and thats the best story they could come up with.
from www.amazon.com
for as long as this game was in development, there should have been more than what it is.

i remember reading somewhere during the game's development that bungie was taking every measure possible to ensure that this "top secret" story wouldn't be leaked to the public...

what i mean be that is: this is an action game primarily, with less emphasis on character development than, say, kotor.
