It was just like Ninja Gaiden which came out a year earlier.


Or every other game like it. It's pretty and has a cool story, but the gameplay is really really simple. Double Dragon, basically.

It's the title that pushed the X-box to the #2 spot ahead of Sega is what I think he means.

Beat-em ups have just evolved to slash em ups. I'd still like to see a Streets of Rage Revival.

Yeah, but not many FPSs have a good story -- plus it had mini-games that weren't just thrown in there, and wasn't it highly customizable.

43. God of War


And the rest of the list should be in a totally different order.

This list makes no sense and anyone that took more than 5 minutes could have made an infinitely better list.

I'm just glad they didn't put Guitar Hero or Rockband on this list.

I'd say Guitar Hero was a lot more influential than a lot of the games on the list.

I think the most criminally neglected FPS as far as this list goes is Half Life. I mean, c'mon.

They pretty much ignored old arcade games. Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Space Invaders are a hell of a lot more influence than Outrun 2.

It had a good story for an FPS, but nothing else about it was influential.

Myst had first person puzzles long before it. There have been tons of games where you had to use different weapons to get through different areas. The customizing of weapons had been done many times before. It played a lot like the Metroid Prime games, in my opinion.
