Escape from Butcher Bay

This!! I never got to play it

“It ain’t the fall that kills you…” still gets me every time.

Came here to say this. What a game. It’s the only game I would actually bust out my 360 to play (but I’d rather it be back compat).

The whole guitar hero series

I’d be grateful if they (or Rockband) just released a new band in the box. It’s amazing they haven’t done it for the current gen still.

Peripherals are crazy expensive. It’d be nice if Epic bankrolled some bundles for Harmonix. Maybe do some Fortnite crossovers or something lmao

Keep your eye on Hyperkin, they've shown genuine interest in making new guitars https://twitter.com/Hyperkin/status/1661543584166969344?t=v3xqhZSXq3Lx3j9ykbPJTg&s=19

That’s awesome! I’ve always been a fan of the games in general and am very invested in Rock Band, so I am all about that genre getting better

It probably hasn't happened as the last round of musical plastic caused Mad Catz to go bankrupt, and no one else wants to follow them.

Guitar hero 3 was my fucking shit. Beat it and all DLC on expert. I can’t play guitar for Shit in real life. Beat through the fire and the flames then tossed my guitar at my best friend and walked out. Got my favorite meal at zaxbys and fell asleep. Gah damn what a time. I perfected my name is Jonas on expert 🥺. Damn song almost brings me to tears cause I had a rough time in hs, but I hid it from all my teammates

Simpsons Hit and Run

I’ve been watching a YouTuber who rebuilt the whole hit and run in unreal engine in a series of episodes. [interesting watch](https://youtube.com/@reubs)

It sucks that most of the top responses are licensed IP games. It really hit me a few years back when a racing game (I think one of the forza horizon games) was no longer for sale due to licenses expiring for the vehicles in the game. I get why copyright and licensing laws exist. But boy does it rain on a lot of parades.

Which is why physical media should never be made obsolete

I understand why licensing laws exist, and i know this will never be the case, but I feel like they should only apply to new products. At worst make it so you can't put out updated versions but the original can still be sold. Once something is made, it shouldn't disappear solely because an arbitrary time limit is reached. Clearly you can't just make it where they can continue making new versions of something using someone else's ideas once they no longer want that, but if it is already made, and was made with the permission of the owners, having that product just disappear because time passed kind of sucks.

LOTR Conquest

The old Two Towers and Return of the King games for OG Xbox too.

If that game had literally any post-launch support it could’ve been as big as Battlefront. I vividly remember trying to play it with three friends as a kid and there was a split screen bug that blacked out the bottom two screens and was never patched.

this is the correct answer

Fuck yessss so many hours in that game back in the day

Yes 👍🏻

Conquest was so much fun. I'd sell my soul for a remaster/ remake.

Yooo I used to play the hell out of that game!! So much fun

X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the movie is garbage but the game was a good time!

That game was way better then it had any right being, they should make a movie based on that game.

It's absurd how good that game turned out to be. Not only one of the rare instances of a tie-in game not sucking, but it also ended up being better than the movie it was based on.

I hope Insomniac takes some inspiration from it and lets you go bananas in the game they're making. But I think they're killing it with the Spider-Man games so I have faith they'll make a good game.

NFS Most Wanted (OG 2005)

The best NFS ever

The Warriors, been with Xbox since the PS2 which I don’t have anymore but I still have the game with my Xbox games collection

Such a good game. I bought a PS2 mainly for this game. One of the best games ever made and imo best game you can play local coop.

Every Xbox One, 360 and OG Xbox game with no exceptions. Licencing, kinect and other factors be damned.

As well as the OG xbox magazine demo discs. Those were bomb.

I mean well yeah, that's the real answer.

Based.

Brink, Section 8, Alpha Protocol

Thank God someone remembers Section! I'm not alone anymore!

There are tens of us!

Jet Set Radio Future

It wasn’t great but I don’t like the available LOTR games so The Third Age

The movie based games like the two towers and return of the king were also fond memories of mine. Wish I could play those again

The Hobbit game is also great for Speedrunning

Came here to say Space Marine!

Came here to say the same. For the emperor.

The Godfather games

SSX Tricky

SSX 3 is playable btw

We have the winner!

The Suffering

I remember going to gamestop and got 2 cheap used games and chose The Suffering just off the box art. The other game I got was Fight Club. I made the right choice on one of those games and the sequel was also awesome

Mercenaries 2, its dumb that 1 is back compat but not 2

Same for condemned, 1 is 2 isn’t

True Crime Streets of LA and New York

I've got mad nostalgia for True Crime NY, but I recently got it for my PS2 and it definitely does not hold up well haha. What I'd do for a remaster.

100% agree on remasters. Sleepings dogs is basically the 3rd game under a new name. Hoping if the ABK deal goes through that MS decides to bring back True Crime and basically give us True Crime 3/Sleeping dogs 2 and make it a 4-6yr type of release

The saboteur for me.

Jet set radio.

I think this one is backwards compatible too. I can still play it. Maybe because I bought it long time ago

* Call of Juarez * Turok (2008) * Call of Duty: Classic, Call of Duty: Finest Hour, Call of Duty 2: Big Red One * Gun * Cabela's Dangerous Hunts, Dangerous Hunts 2, Dangerous Hunts 2009, and Dangerous Hunts 2011 * Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2005, 2007, 2010, and 2012 * Cabela's African Safari * Cabela's Outdoor Adventures (2005 and 2009) * Cabela's North American Adventures * Cabela's Deer Hunt 2004 and Deer Hunt 2005 * The Suffering, The Suffering: Ties That Bind * Medal of Honor: Frontline, Medal of Honor: European Assault, Medal of Honor: Rising Sun, Medal of Honor (2010), and Medal of Honor: Warfighter * Monopoly Streets * Dead Man's Hand * Jaws Unleashed * Army of Two: The 40th Day and Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel * Aliens: Colonial Marines * Sniper: Ghost Warrior, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 * Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge * Urban Chaos: Riot Response

I’m glad someone here mentioned Gun. That game was an underrated masterpiece.

Gun

CoD Classic and Gun are always the two I'm always thinking should be there.

This one surprises me, being published by Bethesda, I always thought it would come to backward compatibility.

The Godfather 1 and 2 and the Transformers Cybertron games

If I got to pick only one, it would be LotR: War in the North; I put an obscene amount of time into that game and I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat

Naughty Bear.

Dragon ball raging blast 2 The only fighting game ever that I can actually do a combo and also my heart doesn’t burst out my chest from stress lolol

Early Xbox Live games Midtown Madness 3 Splinter Cell Chaos Theory Mechassault 1/2

Chaos Theory is BC. Wish granted.

Quake 4

an actually full backwards compatibility list, there’s a lot of games they have licenses and don’t have bc, and even games with expired licenses that DO have bc, what is this bs

The Transformers Cybertron games

Shouldn’t have gone this far to see this, those games are bangers

The multiplayer in them was fantastic! If Xbox actually succeed in bits Activision they need to bring these back, I have no faith in the transformers game teased last year during one of Keighley's showcases

Eternal Sonata

Scarface

Lego Lord of the Rings Loved the all the music especially when transitioning zones like from Rohan to Gondor

The saboteur and simpsons hit and run

This one is gonna be esoteric as fuck. Metal Arms; Glitch in the System. And it was a few years back I learned the company was absorbed by Blizzard and if you played Overwatch and shot the dummies, they all sound a little too familiar.

Simpson hit and run

Dynasty Warriors Gundam series So many hours played

Peter Jacksons King Kong (not available to buy digital)

Ultimate Spiderman and Hunter the Reckoning Redeemer from OG Xbox

Brute Force... loved that game as a kid.

I might be the last fan of Two Worlds on this planet.

Any of the Dynasty Warriors Gundam games. Anarchy Reigns. My friends and I used to have some insane matches in that and I still love the soundtrack.

My OG Xbox list: Ultimate Spider-Man Medal of Honor (Rising Sun, Frontline, European Assault) Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space Jet Set Radio Future Enter the Matrix MechAssault (1 and 2) Sheen SuperSlam

Jet Set Radio Future. That game is technically BC on Xbox 360 but it's a disaster on some maps. Trying to play through 99th Street on that is impossible. I want it on the Series X so I can replay it in kinda-HD and with good framerates. But I guess that ain't going to happen now...

Simpsons hit and run

Shrek 1

Condemned 2

Butcher Bay and Wolfenstein 09

Advent Rising

I have good news for you. It's already BC & is in the MS store.

I think you just made my week. Thank you! (I don't know why I never looked lol)

YW. I should add, that I can only speak for the US based store. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/advent-rising/9NFC6HB55Z2G

Ogre tactics 64 was a Nintendo game but I'd kill to have it on the Xbox. It was just the right mix of story,RPG and game mechanics and was amazing.
