I would like to point out that F.E.A.R was unfortunately never available digitally since it was released before you were able to buy and install “On Demand” 360 games through the marketplace though other games got a digital release after the NXE update in 2008, F.E.A.R and F.E.A.R Files never did probably has something to do with Vivendi Games and Activision merging preventing a digital release for both games. F.E.A.R also had DLC’s for multiplayer, but it has since been delisted and for anyone who owned them can still play it on 360 but it won’t work on Series X.

[@slavche]

I believe you are right, but I believe F.E.A.R 2 and F.E.A.R 3 are available on Xbox marketplace, or at least I HAVE a digital FEAR on xbox XSX, I didn't buy physical of Fear either. Let me double check that!

[@firstlast7776]

​@slavche they are, I always wondered why they had the sequels on sale but never the first one so this answered that for me

[@thebiggestgarlic1194]

Which is strange because Condemned is available, and that was a launch title.

[@anthonysoto2923]

​@@thebiggestgarlic1194condemned isn't available to buy on series x mate. What you on about?

[@IonicHyperspace]

@@anthonysoto2923 it is in the US Store

[@wisebattles]

You should definitely mention Fable 2 in the next one. The Xbox Series version is the best way to play it since it looks and feels great and it never got a PC port. Its a fantastic game and still a lot of fun. Other games you could mention are Assassins Creed 1 and Dishonored, both are timeless classics and upgraded to 4k 60fps on the Xbox Series X. Also Condemned, Saints Row 2, Far Cry 2 and The Force Unleashed are great backwards compatible games from the 360 era. Anyway I really enjoy your content, keep it up!

[@guitarspud1723]

Ninja Gaiden Black, Ninja Gaiden 2, Lost Odyssey, Dead Space 2, Gears of War 360 games, Infinite Undiscovery, Peace Walker, Deadly Premonition, King Kong, Orange Box, Enslaved, Tomb Raider stuff, Graw stuff, Fable stuff, Splinter Cell Conviction, Final Fantasy 13 stuff, Dragon Age stuff, Otogi, Panzer Dragoon Orta. What a time to be alive...

[@beartackle]

Awesome list! I wanted to add one of my most played Xbox 360 games: Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed. This is the closest the Xbox has to Mario Kart. Not only do you drive, but you can fly a plane and go on a speed boat! Many of the levels have a special Sega theme to it and makes me smile. I love this game so much and I have 4 player split screen action when my friends stop by! Thanks to the update, it is 60 fps on the Xbox Series consoles. Also, it's still pretty popular as I can find people online on certain days.

[@Estorium]

This is my all time favourite kart racer, and I think it is far superior to Mario Kart. Playing in on series X is a dream after struggling with the terrible framerates for years on the PS3.

[@willwidrick8039]

I’m a little surprised Microsoft doesn’t advertise more of the Xbox 360 backwards compatibility on the Series systems. The 360 is easily their most iconic system and definitely some gamers would be very interested in playing these games with modern improvements. Come on Microsoft

[@Gruntvc]

FEAR is awesome. Glad it got the 4k 60FPS patch too. Wish Condemned Criminal Origins got that patch too. That and Condemned 2 Bloodshot was made backwards compatible on Xbox One X and Xbox Series X as well.

[@DwemerTom]

Condemned 2 is not backwards compatible. Only the first game is

[@joewhitlow5799]

FEAR isn't 4K. It looks really good but it's not 4k. It is however 60fps on Series X feels great to play.

[@rkitchen69]

Yeah 720p at 60fps.​@@joewhitlow5799

[@s48073ur]

Yes, do the entire list and specify if it is still available to buy digital or only compatible via disc only. For instance, Driver SFO.

[@IsaacCosmic]

This list is fantastic. Blue Dragon has to be one of the best RPG I’ve played. Super underrated and even more fun!

[@shaynekatchmark810]

Keep this series going. Love the channel, and seeing stuff we can play on modern systems is great!

[@bananasean5145]

Bully is my #1 favorite game of all time! I own it on every platform but my favorite is actually the Wii version. No game has ever successfully made me laugh after multiple play throughs like Bully. The NPCs just did and said so many random things and them having their own names and personalities made the world feel unforgettable.

[@trevorcmoore]

Thanks for making these videos. My favorite era of gaming!

[@rsolsjo]

You may have mentioned this in a video, but you can buy great games like Burnout 3, Mortal Kombat (2011) and Jet Set Radio on a 360, then log in with that same account on a newer Xbox (One/Series) and download and play from there. All the stuff you own is still tied to your account. Same with years and years of DLC for many games.

[@IonicHyperspace]

Mortal Kombat (2011) while it did include DLC’s from the Kollection version on disc, the DLC’s will not download on the Series X and even if you purchased them digitally before they were delisted they will still not download since Microsoft didn’t make them compatible for unknown reasons.

[@rsolsjo]

@@IonicHyperspace Ah yes good point and very unfortunate. I hope one day they remaster ALL the old MK games, from the first to 2011.

[@NebLleb]

F.E.A.R.'s Xbox port is honestly a solid effort. Controls wise, it's pretty functional, and gameplay wise, it's nigh identical to the PC. EDIT: Also, the extra content in the form of the Bonus Mission starring Holiday and the Instant Action mode (which would come to PC with the Perseus Mandate expansion, albeit with new levels) also make Xbox F.E.A.R. worth owning on those merits alone. Instant action is chaotic fun, and the Holiday level is a fun slowmo-less affair.

[@spikerobot4113]

The only one of these that I have played is FEAR. I thoroughly enjoyed that game. I think it is one of the best designed FPS games of the mid 2000s.

[@Gruntvc]

I recommend checking out Trepang 2 for Xbox Series X/PS5/Steam. Closest we've gotten to a spiritual successor to FEAR.

[@tomorrowslost4299]

Bully is fantastic. Beat it on PS2, Wii and 360

[@vinniecorleone62]

Another well done review, with excellent details on each game & why they're great & worth picking up! "Bully" I own for the 360 which looks great considering it's a 6th gen game. You can also purchase it digitally for the PS4, much like the other numerous PS2 Rockstar Games! "Fear" is fantastic on so many levels, I would add there's very good DLC expansions for it, well worth buying from the Xbox Store! The same with "Split Second", there's many terrific DLC additional cars & tracks to purchase. The other couple of "Fear" games & DLC are exceptional!

[@A.-ow4ki]

Bully Scholarship Edition for the 360 was basically a remaster of the PS2 original with updated graphics which made it look better.

[@NebLleb]

"The other couple of "Fear" games & DLC are exceptional!" *EXCEPT FOR F.E.A.R. 3 AND F.E.A.R. ONLINE.*

[@ThePhantomGamerForever]

This was a solid list you made. I own all 5 of these games and can attest to how fun they still are.

[@zachross8081]

we hope to see more Xbox 360 games for backwards compatible soon?

[@TheGrizzledAncient]

Oblivion is my favorite ES game in the series to this day and it looks great on XSX, I've played a bunch of it on there. Blue Dragon is very underrated, especially considering the dev team was a who's who of Japanese RPG's and culture. It was developed by Mistwalker which was Hironobu Sakaguchi's (creator/maker of Final Fantasy up to FFIX) studio. The art was done by Akira Toriyama (creator of Dragon Ball and art designer of Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger and the music was composed by Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy music composer). I think what held it back was the cartoon art style in a time where video game graphics were getting more and more realistic and so people weren't as drawn to animated style graphics as much. I really enjoy it though. I never played Bully but after watching this I might try it out because I didn't realize it was an open world game. I actually own Split Second on Steam, bought it years ago on a Steam sale, I think I played it once but it looks fun. And Fear was a great game back in the day, I haven't played it in forever but I may have to try it on back-compat. Great video!

[@campxbox]

Thanks for watching and the comment! I agree that Oblivion is my favorite of the series. Its incredible. I like your point about Blue Dragon being held back back in the day due to cartoon graphics. I could see that.

[@MicrowaveBackground]

My favourite KZbin channel by miles btw

[@CarsandCats]

Here's something you may not know: On backwards compatible racing games you can use the G920 wheel for a MASSIVE upgrade over the old Microsoft Force Feedback wheel! I am so happy that this works. I tried it on Forza Horizon 2.

[@user-tv5hl8zu9s]

I enjoy Watching your VIDEOS all of the time

[@thebiggestgarlic1194]

The best thing about playing Blue Dragon on the Series consoles is that it's a solid 30fps with no frame drops. The game had constant frame drops into the teens during battle when played on an Xbox 360.

[@jazzventura]

Fear was one of the first Xbox 360 game I played, back then on a very small CRT. But even then I got scared like nothing else before. And I remember the gunplay with the railgun and nailgun being awesome too.

[@XenoMorph90]

Yes! Please more Series X playable back compat videos!!!

[@Obviousthrowawayaccount]

Surprised you didn’t mention Burnout Revenge, it’s fun to just blast through traffic with the most over the top crashes possibly ever. The bloom is too toned up from PS2/Xbox, but it’s still a very fun game that looks uncannily good for a game from that generation. FEAR’s great as usual, blowing apart enemies with the shotgun doesn’t get old. Do note you need to use a patch like Peixoto’s gore or MMod v1 (v2 messes up the game) on PC to fix dismemberment.

[@justin9181]

Never got a chance to play FEAR wasn’t sure if it was any good at the time and I was stuck on other 360 games at the time- So thanks for the review on that one And also looking like 20K subs will come faster then the initial 10k come guys hit that sub button !!

[@tonybone1889]

bully is on sale in the deals with gold section most of the year along with few other rockstar games

[@brainwashedburgerworshipper]

I love Bully I'm going to do a replay soon!

[@darcsendeleon5621]

I would love to see you do all of the og xbox and 360 bc games even if you do 5 at a time. That would be great content for a while.

[@slavche]

FEAR and F.E.A.R 2 and F.E.A.R 3 , both.2 and 3 are still available digitally I believe. Love these games, BLUE DRAGON ..MORROWIND 4k.. oblivion 4k ...and BULLY and the others seem cool! SO MANY Xbox / Xbox 360 games I play now, they feel like DISC games boosted. And new games too :D game pass

[@groidcel]

Honestly, any game that's on the BC list is in the recommendation list.

[@DEVILTAZ35]

Hi mate, you should mention all of the Fear titles work on Series X and all run at 60 fps as well. For their age they look so good on an OLED. Especially played at night with the lights off. I have all of these games you mentioned on disc. A cool selection you chose here. I got a bit bored of Blue Dragon personally as there are just too many samey battles. It seems to be far more respected now than when it came out on 360 too as it didn’t sell very well. Regardless I kept my original disc version anyway.

[@brandonphilander661]

Really wish that Risen 3 Titan Lords was available on the Series X.

[@stz_1337]

Great picks, try also - Prey (2006) Mini Ninjas Lost Planet

[@Ronuk1996]

Bully, Maxpayne3, RDR1, Witcher 2,Splinter cell blacklist, GTA4, KOTOR1 and 2, Star wars episode 3 game, Fallout 3 and new vegas. The Warriors really neesds to be on xbox.

[@jaylucien669]

Wow, Split Second looks fantastic!

[@moes95]

emulation through dev mode is a must if you need a retro fix

[@daviddougher8637]

Condemned...Criminal origins...one of my favorites

[@YarugumaSou]

Also Splinter Cell Double Agent. Not the best SC but the best way to play the game for now. I can't believe how much worse it looks on PC even with patches installed.

[@darknid158]

You’re better off just playing the original Xbox version

[@mementomori771]

Split second is my favorite racing game of all time its so freaking fun 😊

[@mjdf122]

You chose great games

[@13Carrey1]

Great List! I can't wait to see more of the OG and 360 Backwards Compatible Games :) Also I wonder why there isn't a follow up or a similar Game like Split Second. It is just Fun! Btw. Would you say that Spliet Second is better than Blur?

[@campxbox]

I haven’t played Blur so I’m not sure, but unfortunately Disney shut down a lot of their game studios and that killed any more in the franchise.

[@13Carrey1]

@@campxbox I have blade on the PS3 and it is more like Mario Kart but it can get into Action too :) Hopefully it gets Backwards compatible too. Also I wonder why the Disney Games are Backwards Compatible like Split/Second and Tron. Maybe there are no issues there? But it is cool that they are :)

[@destroyermcw626]

We should get more IMO. I wanna put my Sonic Riders in Series X because it looks and runs great on my Xbox 360 at 1080p

[@chicanotrooper0817]

I'm waiting on them to put backward compatible from the 360 games is Riddick escape from Butcher Bay and Assault on dark Athena and also Condemned 2 Bloodshot 3 Dope Games 💯🎮

[@mjdf122]

Camp Xbox weekend

[@jmtstan]

Tekken Tag 2, Final Fantasy XIII, or Red Dead Redemption... but the one i wish they have but don't, Nintey Nine Nights, MK9 (although i could play on steam, but...)

[@DonYoGi8331]

MK9 is backwards compatible if u have the disc.

[@spencerstevens2175]

Oblivion also runs waaay better on the backwards compatibility. It's pretty much 60fps and feels like a few more effects are there now. Maybe not but it looks way better and runs better than 360

[@darinherrick9224]

Split Second is the best arcade racer in the last 15 years easily.

[@xXPointman96Xx]

If you want to buy a game from another region, is it enough to buy a gift card for the region and then use it to buy the game?

[@CarsandCats]

Forza Horizon 2 is UNREAL on the Series X. I was not expecting 4k upgraded graphics. I just kept panning the camera around saying, "there is NO WAY this is a 360 game!"

[@dreikonig2785]

It was a cross-gen game. It came for 360 and Xbox One. Are you sure, you are playing the 360 version and not the xbox one version?

[@zachross8081]

i really like to play more Xbox 360 games on Xbox One/Series X so bad?

[@patrickthomas8101]

They need to bring Mercenaries 2 backwards compatible. Also Alone in the Dark 2008 i know its a broken game but i couldn't help myself but love that game. its soo bad its brilliant.

[@ajx2956]

Nice

[@wwrye929]

Did the fix bugs in bully

[@ineedandrenaline]

If the XSX was fully compatible with OG and 360 games, I'd still own an SX.

[@benseac]

FF XIII is a pretty good game too. It really looks great on the XSX.

[@campxbox]

Yeah definitely need to add that one to another list!

[@Hono1256]

You forgot Sunset Overdrive

[@PureEvil1138]

GTA 4 runs really well too

[@rydog_64]

The games are backwards compatible in Series x i recommend are crackdown mortal kombat 2011 sonic unleashed prey 2006 project midnight club la

[@xVampiiro]

can you play split second online wit friends

[@amalek.92]

Such a shame F.E.A.R. isn’t available digitally. I’m rather interested in a digital Series X (just because of the color, honestly) and some BC games will be out of reach with that model.

[@ConnorJG76]

Finally an American who can pronounce Japanese names correctly, respect. I hate westerns struggling to pronounce 2 syllable sounds for like a 6 letter name. Blue Dragon is great, no Lost Odyssey, but it's good. Infinite Undiscovery is also a more cult JRPG; I don't know if that's backwards compatible though.

[@juwo7569]

Im sad they didn't add The Warriors from rockstar games

All these games are backwards compatible on my pc and run better than on series X

Wait did you just say I can’t play 360 gears of war on series X

[@campxbox]

No you can play it on the series consoles.

[@ShadrackMeduson]

just for the download, after downloading you can play it offline. The thing is your xbox 360 disk only works as a virtual key to unlock the game from the xbox digital store and allows you to download the xbox game store version. The good thing about this is that most in store versions are upscaled meaning they run much better than your original xbox 360, so each game is slightly ''remastered''. The bad thing is that if you have a xbox 360 game disk and such game is not on the store then you cannot play it.

[@om58499]

Where my Naruto broken bond

[@aaronvogt335]

Blue Dragon is not backwards compatible. I have the game and it does not work on series X

[@campxbox]

Everything I played was captured on a Series X. I can 100% confirm it is backwards compatible. Are you trying to play it off disc or digital?

[@aaronvogt335]

@@campxbox disc that’s how they are backwards compatible 🤦‍♂️

[@campxbox]

You can buy a lot of the backwards compatible games off the store digitally as well. Blue Dragon is one of them. You actually need an online connection to install the game when you insert the disc so you can play it. So that might be your issue. Are you online? Is it reading your disc at all? It could be an unreadable disc. The final thing I could think of is since Blue Dragon is a multi-disc game, maybe you are putting in discs 2 or 3, and it needs disc 1 to read it. I'm not sure Disc 2 or 3 will bring up the installation. I haven’t tried, so that's just a guess.
