Ok here's one that you may have NEVER heard of... the epic, amazing, gorgeous and brilliant Crimson Sea.

When this came out I was worried that it was a budget title with a nice front cover, there were a lot of these that came out on the original xbox, so I was weary and I went into my local Game one day and asked which they thought would be better, this or something called Black Stone something something... I was told the latter was better and proceeded to buy on their say so.... NEVER AGAIN, I took the crap game they sold me back the next day and swapped it for this. Thank god I did! this is probably in my top 10 all time games over any generation.

this game is one of the few successful games for the Xbox that was a fresh property, a property that threw a bunch of ideas together and something that came out of that ACTUALLY worked! Its an amalgam of PSO, Shenmue, Final Fantasy etc, it has the item collection, weapon customisation and story of a massive RPG, the gorgeous graphics of a FF game and the free battle style fighting of PSO as well as the general idea of having a ship you can relax in, speak to characters and pick up more missions as well as shopping for upgrades etc.

This video showcases a couple of nice missions from the mission mode, NOT the story mode. If this gets some good feedback I might do some vids of the story mode so you can see the similarities to PSO. However its best trait is that its combat is stellar! the weapons can be used as both guns AND swords!! And you have awesome special moves, party members and various other ways of playing

Enjoy!!
