Got some vouchers for a new X-Box game and need some opinions on what to get. All are either out now or due in the next couple of weeks. The shortlist is:

1) Sega GT2002 - Got PGR and CMR3, but still looks good.
2) Fifa 2003 - Love footie, especially Fifa games.
3) Micro Machines - Classic multiplayer Looks fantastic.
4) Splinter Cell - Enjoyed MGS, looks impressive.
5) Unreal Championship - What can I say

One of the main factors is that I don't get much time to sit in front of the console and play for hours at a time, just a few hours a week with mates, so multiplayer is good.

I guess Splinter Cell is/will be the best one out of your list.
Sega GT 2002 is great as well. 7 different imprezas in there incl. 22b (no wagons though). Great handling, but overall not as deep as GT3.
What are your favorite games (egoshooters, racing, sports)?
Played JSRF yet?

Not played JSRF yet, looks cool though

I suppose my favorite games are arcadey style ones that you can pick up and play now and again, nothing too deep and slow. Probably rules out Splinter Cell. Was hoping Sega GT would be as good as GT3, if not then I'll pass.

Heard bad things about Fifa 03, so leaves Micro Machines and Unreal.
Unless anyone can suggest any others ?

You answered yourself, it's the best game from that list

Cell Damage is the best game I've ever spent £20 quid on. Very pick up and go and you can't beat slicing a friends car in half with a Meat Cleaver. Well, the spear's pretty damd close.

Best Party Game I've got on the box so far is Fusion Frenzy

Superb game, loads of different styles and non-stop action

Have you got timesplitters 2 yet?

if not it should be on your shortlist:

An excellent game with the best multiplayer FPS support I've seen.
As well as the main story there are tons of extra bits which will keep you going for quite some time.

My mate says TimeSplitters 2 is very good.

DJ Dunk, don't get me wrong, but SEGA GT 2002 is a great game (controls are like in F355 challenge on the Dreamcast). It's just too sad that there is a GT3 existing. If there wasn't any GT3 around, SEGA GT 2K2 would own!! Personally I would go with JSRF, because it's something different.
