Best Xbox Game
In considering this category, we weigh all of a game's various accomplishments and consider everything from its technical merits and its lasting value to its impact on the industry, though of course the sheer level of fun and entertainment the game provides is what ends up being the most important consideration. As such, we narrowed down our Best Xbox Game contenders to the following:
| Grand Theft Auto Double PackPublisher: Rockstar Games  "If you're an Xbox owner who either hasn't played these games or is looking to play them again, the Xbox versions of GTAIII and Vice City are the best ones available." -Jeff Gerstmann, from GameSpot's Full Review |
| Panzer Dragoon OrtaPublisher: Sega "Panzer Dragoon Orta is an outstandingly well-executed game, featuring gameplay that's easy to grasp but rewards continued practice, exceptional graphics and sound, and a lot of worthwhile extras." -Greg Kasavin, from GameSpot's Full Review |
| Prince of Persia: The Sands of TimePublisher: Ubisoft "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time can be recommended wholeheartedly. It looks fantastic and features responsive controls, some original play mechanics, a good story, and plenty of thrilling adventure." -Greg Kasavin, from GameSpot's Full Review |
| Star Wars: Knights of the Old RepublicPublisher: LucasArts "You don't need to be a fan of Star Wars or of RPGs to appreciate all the impressive qualities of this game--but if you are, all the better." -Greg Kasavin, from GameSpot's Full Review |
| Top SpinPublisher: Microsoft "Top Spin is, quite simply, the most well-rounded, feature-rich game of tennis to be found anywhere, on any system." -Ryan Davis, from GameSpot's Full Review |
