Favorite XBLA games?

As Sonic says, and shows with the chart, without the expansion pak, PD is massively cut down. With PD, if you don't have an expansion pak, then you can't play the singler player campaign (or it's two variants; co-op and counter-op), and the multiplayer is cut down (I'm sure, for example, you can only use one skin (appearance) for all players, and I'm not sure if scenery blemishing, such as bullet holes, explosion marks, and blood stay if there's no expansion pak).

Personally, I'd say that the N64 has three games that need the expansion pak - Donkey Kong 64, Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (DK64 and LoZ:MM both refuse to run if there's no expansion pak) and of course PD, though officially only DK64 and LoZ:MM are listed as needing the pak.

As an aside, a few other games really benefit from an expansion, such as Rush 2049 (increases the number of tracks from five to six), Starcraft 64 (adds extra missions), and Hydro Thunder (adds three and four player multiplayer). Lots of other games support the expansion pak, but mostly jus use if to add an optional higher resolution screen mode (which in some games actually lowers the frame-rate). For a list, see;

Of course, none of this applies to the XBox 360 version of Perfect Dark, you get all of the game modes on any XBox 360.

 

All of the classic Sonic games, Sonic fighters (had never played this untill the Xbox arcade release), Nights, Guardian Heroes, etc

Really hope the PS4 gets some Sega stuff added soon

 

Sega Rally Online Arcade? And it's been removed? Boo!

 

I always play Guardian Heroes since the release on the XBLA. Another Indi simple game I love is Arcade craft for 3 dollars is a blast. I never bought the TMNT arcade games and double dragon, now they are lost for ever.

 

Oh, I didn't know that. Outrun 2 as well

 

Jtag and torrents

Eventually that'll be the ONLY way to get XBLA games

 

I thought shadow complex was absolutely amazing loved that game.
and perfect dark , other than that all I seem to download is the retro stuff like altered beast and sonic.

 

Yeah, shame OutRun 2 is no longer there - I picked it up on PSN when it first came out so I'm safe. Damn digital distribution
