I have been trying to find Otogi’s name for so long, I remember playing the demo and being amazed by the fact you could destroy the environment. This and Breakdown were a weird part of my gaming childhood
Kung fu chaos was my jam as a kid. I was glued to my tv the weekend i got it, and razes hell was another i still think about to this day. The style of razes hell has to be what keeps it in the back of my mind. I am glad to have found your channel. I look forward to seeing more content.
Love seeing OG box get some love. The list here is great because it calls out some lesser known games that had charm and character that many games just don't have today. These are among my favorites too. Great to see someone taking the time to spotlight these games decades after release. So many games deserved better sales, recognition, and perhaps sequels. I still pull out my og box now and then to fire up these very games. Thank you for making this video. Lots of nostalgia!
Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions is the definition of a hidden gem. It has some of the best graphics of the generation, some cool vehicle designs, and fun cutscenes. It should definitely get a highlight from Camp Xbox. 🙂
I went to a retro gaming convention today and looked for games on various platforms. I found Raze's Hell and bought it as I had never heard of this game before. Can't even remember on that game from when I was a kid. I'm curious to how it plays.
First time ive ever heard other people even mention otogi, Otogi 1 and 2 are easily some of from softs best work, it is almost a decade before dark souls but you can still feel the difficulty and inspiration, the destructable environments were ahead of its time too
It reminds me a lot of the PS2 Shinobi game, from the graphics, to the movements, the effects, the enemy designs, and even the overall story concept. Not that that’s a bad thing-far from it. I loved that Shinobi game, and would love to check out Otogi.
God there's just so many cool, unique, and down right creative games on the original Xbox. It really was a platform of experimentation and creativity. It's so sad that later consoles moved away from this blend of games to a more "Dude Bro" mentality that favored FPS's.
i recently picked up razes hell for xbox for 15$ (it usually goes for 25 to 40) and i gotta say.... WOW its a weird game but definitely one worth your time
I've never played Crimson Sea, but I have finished the PS2 sequel. It's amazing, probably feels very similar to the first. It has two playable characters, once you find and unlock the second. I think the devs expected that almost nobody played the first game, because the second offers a complete re-telling in the form of EVERY CG cutscene in its theater mode. I recall feeling just as confused after watching them lol
I will always charish the days playing Kung fu Chaos with my brothers and sister when we were kids... we had the time of our lives on that game man with the video editor and having our own custom soundtrack with the xbox! (Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP" was a big hit with us at the time... What a gem! thanks for giving this game some love, this channel is a time capsule and im all for it
Love Otogi and Kung fu chaos would love to see both games to get fully fledged reviewes at some point 7:47 this games grahpics look really good for an og xbox title another game ill have to add it to my to play list
Deathrow was such a hit for my buddy and myself on release. We played it constantly, unlocking everything, and then just doing it all over again. Even better, it all still holds up, and is a completely unoque experience in its own... Shame we never got the sequel.
so i only found your channel today, and deep dived into your uploads. All from xbox titles at launch to RPGs on the og xbox and gems for the 360. I gotta say i really love this stuff. And as i was about to scroll down to make the most original comment i realised it's been said by so many here already. so here you go again for the 10th time, Your channel is an absolute gem.
Wish Xbox would go back to the ways they were with the original and 360, even the early days of the One. They had some really good exclusives during the early days of the One generation but things have really slowed down from then.
I gotta say I am interested in that "Deathrow" title and I'm surprised. Normally I dont go for sport type games but this looks just weird enough to be good fun
Dude kung fu chaos is one of my faborites from growin up an wacked awesome multiplayer game i thought no one else knew about this game great couch co op
You made me replay games on the og xbox and i'm having a blast ... my xbox that was sleeping in the closet for about 7 years now told me personally to thank you and to keep up the great videos ^^
So glad to see some Deathrow representation. I always get bummed out seeing praise for Xbox exclusive titles, but rarely see Deathrow get the respect I feel it deserves. Great video!!
Raze's Hell looks fun, reminds me of Conkers Bad Fur Day. You rarely see game like that now. Glad Dino Crisis 3 didn't make the list. Wth were Capcom thinking with that game...
Haha yeah Dino Crisis is notable in my memories because it gave me nightmares when I was younger, but revisiting it now it really is not good. I need to take a deep dive into that one on the channel.
I'm definitely interested in Crimson Sea, I've heard of it before. That Razer Hell game, I never heard of. No interest in it, but it was cool to learn about
While some of these are available on PC, I would give honorable mentions to the following: Armed and Dangerous Breakdown Voodoo Vince Blinx The Time Sweeper (Yeah, I said it.) Gunvalkyrie Panzer Dragoon Orta Tork: Prehistoric Punk MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge Jade Empire
Yeah, I think it's surprising how many Japanese games came out on the console. It's not a lot compared to the PS2 or Gamecube obviously, but a lot of companies tried their best to get a hit in Japan. It never really did work out, but I think its fun to look back at in retrospect.
Team Xbox put a lot of effort in behind the scenes to get games that appealed to the Japanese market. They campaigned heavily in the region, signed exclusive deals with domesyic developers, produced region-locked titles, but, ultimately, they weren't able to break into Japan's homogeneity. Other notable hidden gems: _Breakdown_ _Metal_ _Wolf_ _Chaos_ _Phantom_ _Dust_ _Steel_ _Battalion_ and _Line_ _of_ _Contact_
Would hate to see these hidden gems forgotten & ❤ to see them get HD remastered via a port to - or at the very least become back-compat on - modern Xbox consoles (if that program ends up getting revived), - just like SEGA did w/their 2 Otogi games. At first I'm surprised 'Kung Fu Chaos' hasn't been added to the list of back-compat titles, especially since JustAddMonsters/NinjaTheory is now owned by MicroSoft. You'd think that'd be a no-brainer. But then I remembered how some of the characters might be seen as outdated Asian sterotypes & realize how that might not bode well in today's day & age. If I were MS I would include a disclosure/warning in its description, making consumers aware this is a product of its time & "made available for game preservation purposes".
Can we get Deathrow & Crimson Sea ported or made backwards-compatible on modern Xbox consoles? I'd think UbiSoft might still own Deathrow & they've shown a ton of support for backwards-compatibility before - even og Xbox games. KOEI supports modern Xbox consoles, so why not their classic 'Crimson Sea'? If not straight up back-compat then an HD remaster or remake. Also... How is 'Razes Hell' not backwards-compatible on modern Xbox platforms, while Majesco's other games, like 'Advent Rising' are?

Really love seeing a channel appreciating the original Xbox.
I'm glad you are enjoying the channel!
So true!
Came here to comment this myself. Absolute champ.
@@dougr8646 Posted on the wrong account?
Agree. Too bad One and Series consoles failed to capture the sheer magic of the OG and 360 eras. Still thinking on buying a Series X (white version).
Kung Fu Chaos was one of those gems you play after school with the boys when couch co-op was still big
Closest I've had to scratch that Power Stone itch, such a good and well crafted game!
Kung fu chaos is GOATED! that pole swinging mini game in the water was insanity.
Kung Fu chaos was the shit I wish it would make a comeback. I believe it would be cool as a friendly multiplayer game with friends
I have been trying to find Otogi’s name for so long, I remember playing the demo and being amazed by the fact you could destroy the environment. This and Breakdown were a weird part of my gaming childhood
Sounds like great childhood memories!
This whole channel is a hidden gem 🎉
Thank you I really appreciate it!
Jet Set Radio Future is my all-time favorite game. Highly recommended giving it a play. Especially since a new one has been teased by Sega.
JSRF is one of the best on the original Xbox!
its not a hidden gem
Kung fu chaos was my jam as a kid. I was glued to my tv the weekend i got it, and razes hell was another i still think about to this day. The style of razes hell has to be what keeps it in the back of my mind. I am glad to have found your channel. I look forward to seeing more content.

Otogi is 4k on the series x and it looks Incredible
Yeah, Otogi already looks great on the Xbox so it's nice to see that definition upgrade on the Series X.
@@campxbox Also Crimson Skies and the 2nd Part of Otogi :)
but i would also LOVE to see Crimson Sea there :)
@@13Carrey1 I agree
Nice

It's a super fun third-person shooter with a lot of different ammo options. It's a simple good time! Definitely a good pick up.

You make really nice content. No nitpicks. Not franchise smug hating. Just games.
Thank you! I try to make sure every game gets a fair chance!
So happy to see a channel finally mention Crimson Sea. LOVED that game growing up.
God there's just so many cool, unique, and down right creative games on the original Xbox. It really was a platform of experimentation and creativity. It's so sad that later consoles moved away from this blend of games to a more "Dude Bro" mentality that favored FPS's.
I like how you glanced over the raunchy, downright "spike tv" comedy style of Kung-Fu Chaos. It aged well, I still love it lol
i recently picked up razes hell for xbox for 15$ (it usually goes for 25 to 40) and i gotta say.... WOW its a weird game but definitely one worth your time
Crimson Sea!!! I thought I was the only person that played it! Love your channel.
Glad you enjoy it!
Shout out to you for using the Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 music!
I've never played Crimson Sea, but I have finished the PS2 sequel. It's amazing, probably feels very similar to the first. It has two playable characters, once you find and unlock the second.

Man I remember playing Fable on the og xbox. Love the channel bro :D
Glad you enjoy the channel! Fable is one of my all time favorites!
Love Otogi and Kung fu chaos would love to see both games to get fully fledged reviewes at some point 7:47 this games grahpics look really good for an og xbox title another game ill have to add it to my to play list
Great list. Another bit of a hidden gem is Crimson Skies. It's on the arcadey side of a flight sim.
One of my all time favorites!
Deathrow was such a hit for my buddy and myself on release. We played it constantly, unlocking everything, and then just doing it all over again.

Huge collector and fan of the og Xbox. Started collecting a couple of years ago since owning originally in 2002.
That’s awesome! What would you say is the crowning jewel of your collection?
Your channel is a gem.
lol Thank You!
Wish Xbox would go back to the ways they were with the original and 360, even the early days of the One. They had some really good exclusives during the early days of the One generation but things have really slowed down from then.
Ninja was my favourite character in Kung Fu Chaos, the Dino stage was my favourite
Deathrow is really one of those "Colonel, I'm dummy thicc" sort of games.
subbed! I love it when the og xbox get some love. I really need to drop another xbox focused video
Thanks for the sub!
I gotta say I am interested in that "Deathrow" title and I'm surprised. Normally I dont go for sport type games but this looks just weird enough to be good fun
Yeah it's a good game for non-sports fans. It does some really interesting things.
6:47 man I wish Xbox was still doing backwards compatibility I never got the chance to play this game
Alter Echo is a really weird game, which nobody seems to talk about, and as far as i know it was only on the big green box.
That one got a PS2 release as well but it is an interesting release for sure.
Dude kung fu chaos is one of my faborites from growin up an wacked awesome multiplayer game i thought no one else knew about this game great couch co op
I remember the box art of crimson sea. Always looled cool but janky.
You made me replay games on the og xbox and i'm having a blast ... my xbox that was sleeping in the closet for about 7 years now told me personally to thank you and to keep up the great videos ^^
This comment means a lot! Im glad you are having so much fun with such an amazing console 😊
I have been looking for a channel like this
Otogi’s character looks an awful lot like the Blasphemous leading character
oh blasphemous 100% stole it
Love your channel man keep pumping out the great content!!
Glad you are enjoying the channel!
So glad to see some Deathrow representation. I always get bummed out seeing praise for Xbox exclusive titles, but rarely see Deathrow get the respect I feel it deserves.
Great video!!
Yeah Deathrow is a favorite of mine so it deserved a spot. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Raze's Hell looks fun, reminds me of Conkers Bad Fur Day. You rarely see game like that now.

man i miss jet set radio future
There really are so many games on this console. Especially if you’re a fan of racing games - this is THE console to get
Yeah theres an insane amount of excellent games only on the Xbox.
I'm still holding out for an Otogi 3
While some of these are available on PC, I would give honorable mentions to the following:
Armed and Dangerous
Breakdown
Voodoo Vince
Blinx The Time Sweeper (Yeah, I said it.)
Gunvalkyrie
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Tork: Prehistoric Punk
MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge
Jade Empire
A game I remember playing when I was young was called sudeki it was a fun one I wish I could play again.
Crimson Skies. For sure. Still stuck on og Xbox I believe
Funny how so many japanese developers were desperate for a hit title on the xbox which severly underperformed in the Japanese market
Yeah, I think it's surprising how many Japanese games came out on the console. It's not a lot compared to the PS2 or Gamecube obviously, but a lot of companies tried their best to get a hit in Japan. It never really did work out, but I think its fun to look back at in retrospect.

not to be confused with
_Blood_ _Wake_ ,
another Original Xbox exclusive. 😅
lol also not to be confused with another Xbox exclusive Crimson Skies.
@@campxbox exactly
Played all these games back in the 2000's but my favorite xbox exclusive will always be phantom dust
Tight, you gotta do an Azurik, Rise of Perathia vid
Yeah I definitely need to cover that one soon!
Original Xbox was the best.
Yo, I looooooved Deathrow!!
Finally a list with new games. Refreshing!
Would hate to see these hidden gems forgotten & ❤ to see them get HD remastered via a port to - or at the very least become back-compat on - modern Xbox consoles (if that program ends up getting revived), - just like SEGA did w/their 2 Otogi games.

I really want to play more original Xbox games on Xbox One/Series X? so bad 😢
I still have my original copy of jsrf.
Good vid subbed
Thanks for the sub!
Nice choice! Can't wait for part 2
Otogi walked so Souls can run.
Otogi mentioned !!!!!
Brute Force and Breakdown
Crimson sea? Sounds like an naval version of crimson skies
New Legends it may not be everyone's cup of tea but i koved it
Holy shit someone actually mentioned razes hell! I loved that game so much, still have it with the little note card with the cheats on it 😂
Can we get Deathrow & Crimson Sea ported or made backwards-compatible on modern Xbox consoles? I'd think UbiSoft might still own Deathrow & they've shown a ton of support for backwards-compatibility before - even og Xbox games. KOEI supports modern Xbox consoles, so why not their classic 'Crimson Sea'? If not straight up back-compat then an HD remaster or remake.
Also...
How is 'Razes Hell' not backwards-compatible on modern Xbox platforms, while Majesco's other games, like 'Advent Rising' are?
You are asking the real questions
DEATHROW!!!!
When games were made for fun and not to sell you crap.
I really miss the early 2000s....
we are still waiting for more original Xbox games for backwards compatible?
I hope we do, but according to Microsoft the backwards program has ended.
Can you review 50 Cent: Bulletproof for the Xbox ?
I'll add it to the recommendation list
Otogi>Demon Souls 🤷 just my opinion lol
Breakdown for me what a strange game 😂
Fung fu chaos
I had otogi back i. The day. I didn't really like it though lol
A video about Xbox hidden gems that does NOT talk about Whacked? I am deeply hurt.
Every FromSoftware game isn’t a hidden gem 💎 not anymore
