I just beat The Darkness and I have to say that it BLEW MY MIND. That game was freakin amazing. Some of the parts in that game are real tear jerkers. It was just an amazing story and I can't wait for the 2nd one. Which game do you think has the best storyline?

I'm going to limit this to 360. Bioshock without question. That type of story has always intrigued me, I'm actually in the process of reading Atlas Shrugged (which, if you didn't know, was the inspiration for Bioshock, or at least similar). After that, I'd have to say Lost Odyssey. I actually didn't even think the main storyline in that game was as good as his unlockable dreams. Those dreams were some of the best writing I've ever seen in a game.

For the 360 my #1 is probably Bioshock, followed by Lost Odyssey. All time for me its gotta be the MGS series as a whole.

360 = Assassins Creed

Of All Time = Eternal Darkness? I can't really think of anything else at the moment.

Who said this was exclusives only? If they say i will only count Xbox 360 games than that will mean they won't list Final Fantasy's not Xbox Exclusives. Also i consider if a game is on a console and on PC that is a console exlcusive because otherwise Final Fantasy 7 is not a Playstation exclusive.

My favorite one of all time would be Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I know it isn't the best written story and maybe not that deep. But for the couple of days it takes me to beat the game now, it's a nice little story of good vs evil.

[QUOTE="kozzy1234"]Assassins Creed had a story? Fooled me :?EnigManic

Yes of course i have played it, why would i comment on it if i havnt?

I own the game and have beat it, the gameplay is topnotch aswell as the graphics, but the story is one of the worst ive ever seen in a videogame to be honest. The so called "story" could have been ALOT better imo, because it had some great ideas, but in teh end fell right on its face. I hope for the next AC game that they can actually make a godo story this time, because the graphics and gameplay where pretty good... I jsut thought the characters and story where not good enough and could have been alot better.

Assassins Creed did have a story, but not a very good one to be honest... It was ok i suppose.meconate

The story has great potential. Let's hope it gets better developed in the sequel.

Best story on the 360 would have to be Bioshock (this is including all the incredible back stories and little details in the recordings not just the main story).

Best story in a game(s) ever: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Trilogy (imo you have to look at the games as a whole and not as three individual games).

For 360:

1. Mass Effect

2. Call of Duty 4

3. Halo 3

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater has the best storyline ever. MGS4 didn't satisfy me.

kozzy1234
Kozz-- Eternal Sonata man? It was a cool game, but seriously, most of that dialogue could be written by a 5 year old in kindergarten class. Actually the story felt like something the teacher would read back in preschool. : ) The best story in any game probably goes to the MGS series, even though I couldn't tell you WTF has happened because its so mind-shatteringly confusing. Second is probably Halo.
