XBox recommendations?

[manuel]

Hi, it's me again asking for recommendations.
Are there any good games for XBox other than shooting/driving/sports/fighting games?
As you may know I like platformers, adventures, RPGs and the likes.

I don't have an XBox yet, but already bought Shenmue II.

Another game I have my eyes on is The Elder Scrolls III - Morrowind.

Is there anything good except those games? I'd be very thankful for any recommendations.

ninja gaiden black

[manuel]

I heard that game is very hard... is that right?

[kite200]

Yes, there's different difficulty modes though

you can choose ninja dog mode if you die a few times it unlocks it, but that's for pussies

real men play master ninja, which only 1 person on the testing team beat


MUAHAHHAHAHAHHA

Haha, thanks JC.
These days I'm very much into platformers (jump `n runs), like the Mario games, Rayman, Jak & Daxter, Kao the Kangaroo, Donkey Kong Country,... I appreciate 2D rather than 3D, but I'll take anything if it's good.
I also like (action-)adventures, e.g. like the Zelda series, Shenmue,...
And RPGs. Here I prefer old-school round-based fights. Games like Dragon Quest, Lufia, some of the Final Fantasy games, Secret of Mana,...

I like to play a good racing game or a fighter from time to time, too, but I'm not actively searching for those.
What I don't like at all are (space) shooters or 1st person shooting games, war games and stuff. Simply because I suck at them. Maybe if I was good at them I'd like them... who knows.
I didn't follow XBox coverage very much, so I don't know what games there are so I hoped somebody could point me to some worthwhile games. So thank you for your input in advance.

@kite: Master Ninja... I hoped more for a Ninja apprentice mode.
Maybe I'll give that game a try. First I need a cheap XBox, though, to play Shenmue 2 and Morrowind.

Fable is a pretty good game

[manuel]

I've done a bit of research and came to the following small list of games that could catch my interest:

Jade Empire
Fable
Morrowind
Conker Live & Reloaded
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Toejam & Earl III

Does anybody know similar titles? I'd very much like to see more platformers, but it seems there aren't any good ones.

Morrowind seems pretty good.

Is Morrowind's "Game of the Year" edition worth a 25$ markup compared to the normal version?
