The Xbox 360 was a very popular console, and it had a lot of great genres like the simulation genre for players to enjoy.
Since Microsoft first released the platform in 2001, there have been four versions of Xbox. But while there are fans of each version, the Xbox 360 era was one of the most popular times for the company. This is because it puts a lot of focus on multiplayer and digital games, among other things.
The huge number of games in the Xbox 360 library was also a big part of why it became so famous. There were a lot of games in all kinds of genres. Simulation was a popular type of game on the app. But a few Xbox 360 strategy games were better than the others.
Dance Central 2
Microsoft chose to add the Kinect to the Xbox 360 because it had been so popular for so long. The Kinect could track body movements so that players could move forward in games by moving their bodies. Dance Central 2 was a famous Kinect game that had you dance.
There are different ways to play the game, from just dancing to a song to going head-to-head with another player. In the Crew Challenge, which is a single-player campaign, you have to nail songs to get more notoriety. There is also a mode called “Fitness” that keeps track of calories burned.
Fight Night Champion
There are a lot of sports video games that come out every year, but some sports might not get as much attention in video games as they should. Boxing is one of these events, and there haven’t been many big titles in the last few years. Fight Night Champion was one of the best fighting games for Xbox 360.
The last game in the Fight Night series, this one added a new mode called Champion Mode, in which the player has to fight in a certain way to fit the match they are given. There is also a brand-new control method called “Full-Spectrum Punch Control” that lets you throw punches with the right analogue stick.
Pinball FX 2
Pinball machines aren’t as common in the real world as they used to be, but Pinball FX has kept the game alive through video games. Microsoft worked with Zen Studios to get Pinball FX 2 on Xbox 360, and more especially Xbox Live Arcade.
Snake Game is pretty much what you would expect from a regular pinball machine. There are a few original tables and a lot of licenced properties that players can either play immediately or buy. This includes tables with themes like Star Wars, The Walking Dead, and different Marvel movies and shows.
Hitman: Blood Money
Most simulators aren’t violent, but the Hitman series has always been about simulating situations where the player has to find someone and kill them, most of the time by using the surroundings to sneak around or kill the person.
Hitman: Blood Money is one of the better games in the series. The game came out in 2006 for the Xbox 360. It follows Agent 47 as he keeps working for the International Contract Agency and tries to stop a rival group called the Franchise. The stealth game brought in new ideas, like getting rid of bodies and being able to upgrade gear.
Skate 2
In the skateboarding game genre, there are a few big names. Skate, which came out in 2007 for the Xbox 360, is one of the big names. Many people liked the whole trilogy, but Skate 2 is often thought to be the best of the three.
The game takes place in the made-up city of San Vanelona. It has an open world, and the main character’s job is to make skateboarding famous again after an earthquake gave the city to a bad company that doesn’t want to see anyone with a skateboard. In addition to the career mode, there is also a game where players can just skate freely within the limits they set for the world.
Viva Pinata
There weren’t that many life simulation games for the Xbox 360, but one of the best ones was made by Rare a few years after Microsoft bought the company. The same people who made Banjo-Kazooie also worked on Viva Piata, which came out in 2006.
On the made-up Pinata Island, players have to grow a plant that brings in as many as 60 different kinds of pinatas. The goal is to grow the pinata community, but players will also have to watch out for “Ruffians” who want to destroy the garden and the pinatas.
Forza Motorsport 3
The Forza series has been one of Xbox’s most popular ones. Forza Horizon came out on the Xbox 360, and there were also several Forza Motorsport games. Forza games for the Xbox 360 are all fun, but Forza Motorsport 3 might be the best driving simulation.
The franchise stays true to its roots as a more classic racing game, with different tracks to race on and a wide range of cars to choose from, including SUVs and stock cars, which are new to the series. This is the first Forza Motorsport game to have drag racing and a first-person view.
Rock Band 3
Harmonix is the company that made some of the best rhythm games ever, like Dance Central 2. But Rock Band 3 was one of their best games because it took the series to the next level by adding a Pro mode that made it easier for people to learn real instruments.
Rock Band 3 is the last main title in the Rock Band series for the Xbox 360. It lets you play vocals, lead guitar, bass guitar, drums, and keyboards, the last of which is new to the series. Even though the game came with 83 songs, it was possible to download more than 2,000 songs.
