Review of Xbox 360

Xbox 360 

            Ever gone to the store and cannot figure out what game system to buy? The Xbox 360 in my opinion is a very good game system to own. I will go through what I think makes this a good system. The first time that I played the Xbox 360 I thought that it was a very good system to have for the controls are easy to use and they are very simple to learn. The interface for the Xbox 360 has changed in the last few months and I think that it is now even easier to use than it was before and that was very simple to use as well.  It has decent graphics, good game play, downloadable content, able to play with 4 other people at the same time and the fact that there are more games for this system then most the other systems out there. 

Graphics 

            The graphics for the Xbox 360 are better than say the Wii and they are not as good as the PS3. Have you ever played a game for the PS3 and not liked the graphics that the game had it is not all about the system it had to do with the game that you are playing as well. The graphics for Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation are better than half of the games for the PS3.  There is also Halo 3 to consider for graphics this game also has some of the best graphics for the Xbox 360 , although the game is getting old so they do not seem as good becouse the new games have better graphics. The game Grand Thief Auto has very poor graphics and it is on the PS3 as well as the game Fallout 3. Some of the games are hit and miss with the graphics but I think that they will continue to improve as the technology gets better for the games.  I think that it score a 8 out of 10 for there are many games that have very good graphics.

Game Play 

            The game play for the Xbox 360 is very high with games such as Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3 the game play for the system is very high. The only down side to the game play is that if you play online then you have to pay for it. It is not that bad most stores sell the passes and if you want to be lazy then you  can get the time online it is not as expensive as the World of Warcraft membership is for a month if you buy the 6 or 12 month memberships. The fact that you can play all different types of games that you like is the best thing and the different accessories that you can buy for the system like joysticks and headsets and key pads that will let you talk and texted with the people in the game. You can also make parties and talk to people in the party they do not have to be playing the same game as you. One last thing that makes the Xbox 360 better than the PS3 is it does not freeze that often unlike the PS3 that freezes a lot like at the save screen, in the middle of game play and when the game is first staring. I think that it gets a 7.5 out of 10 because you have to pay for it. 

Downloadable Content 

            When playing a game you will eventually become bored with the game so what do you do. You could get a new game or download more for the game that you have and play with renewed interest. The Xbox 360 is able to get downloads from the Xbox marketplace with this useful feature there is so much more that you are able to do when playing the games. Keep in mind that you will have to pay for this but it has some of the items for free and they do not cost too much. If you want to go get a new game you can download the demo play it and if you do not like it then you can think of a different game and save the money. Take Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation you can download new plane colors and they have modified stats, for there is a variant for the F-22 that makes it a little slower and has better armor as well as increased weapons payload for the weapons. I think that this deserves a 8.5 out of 10 for the amount of things that you can download.    

Multiplayer 

            Thinking about getting something that all of your fiends can play as well then you should consider the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 has the ability to handle up to four controllers if the game allows so that way you and three buddies can go all out an each other.  You can even go online with the other people with just one system if you are playing Halo 3. This category scores a 7 out of 10 for the fact that not all of the games are able to play with four players.

In Conclusion 

            I believe the Xbox 360 to be just as good as the PS3 in the areas of multiplayer because most games only go to two players but some go to four. The Xbox 360 is better than the Wii in graphics, and game play for the Wii controllers still have bugs in them that they need to work out. The Xbox 360 has very good downloadable content some of which you get for free. So that if you want to play an old game with renewed interest then just download more for the game. Last but not least is the area of multiplayer that is better than the PS3 for there are more games that have the capability to play with four players. Over all I think that the Xbox 360 is a very good system to have I give it a 8 out of 10 for the over all. This is the best gaming system that I own , and I have a PS3, PS2, and a Game cube as well. I would recommend a Xbox 360 over any of the other systems that I have.
