Good Xbox-exclusive games of Japanese origin?

[Neon_Sonic]

For some reason, I'm feeling compelled to play Xbox games lately, but I'm not very impressed with most of the FPS and sports games from American companies. So, what are some good Xbox games I should into that are of Japanese origin? Import-only titles are fine, as well, though I don't have any way to play them as of yet.

So far, I own or am looking into getting the following:

Phantom Dust
Dead or Alive Ultimate
Dead or Alive 3
Shenmue II
Ninja Gaiden Black
Otogi
Otogi 2
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Breakdown (maybe)

I'm also interested in some games that aren't exactly exclusive, but have a solid Xbox version. For instance:

Guilty Gear X2 #Reload
Street Fighter Anniversary Collection
SNK vs Capcom 2 EO

If you haven't played Soul Calibur II, I recommend getting the Xbox version. Aside from that, your list looks pretty good. I'd get Breakdown, it has a good cult following. Have fun!

Phantom Dust - sucks
Dead or Alive Ultimate - great game
Dead or Alive 3 - best DOA?
Shenmue II - great, old game
Ninja Gaiden Black - great game
Otogi - good
Otogi 2 - very good
Panzer Dragoon Orta - absolutely astonishing
Breakdown (maybe) - haven't played it

Phantom Dust is great. Also get Panzer Dragoon if you don't already have it. I've even got a review I did on my show. Check out the link below.

Let's not forget the OutRuns (both the original and ORC2C 2006).
Yeah, it's on PS2, but it looks like sh!t compared to the real XBox version.

If only VC3 would have made it to the XBOX

I keep saying it for the past two years in NG.com and it really pisses me off. I just don't know why Sega canned VC3 project on Xbox.

If we have HOTD3 on Xbox, why not VC3?

Probably because HOTD3 sold like shit.

How about a review of Phantom Dust on your show sometime?

You guys forgot to recommend Spikeout.

I'll admit it:

I bought an Xbox to play Panzer Dragoon Orta.

Worth the price of admission.

 

[kernow]

panzer dragoon series:

I'd rather eat my eyeballs than play some stupid on rails dragon girl crap

also

doa3 = best doa, only because every single one is wank.

its like saying MK2 was the best MK version, hardly difficult is it?
