Xbox 360 Review

Xbox 360 Review : Initial observations are that it's slightly smaller than the original Xbox, and heavier. The huge power pack takes us back to the days of the Spectrum +3 - and then some! - and the controller is far better than it looked on paper.

After a solid weekend with the machine, several pros and cons emerge. We'd also managed, with consummate ease, to get the Xbox 360 connected to a network. We tried both wired and wireless connections and in both cases we were up, running and taking advantage of a shared broadband connection in little time at all.


And that sums the Xbox 360 up to an extent. The things it does well, it does exceptionally well. Its interface is clean, it's as simple as you'd expect to set up, and we even managed to buy and download a small game from Xbox Live Arcade in a matter of minutes. Smashing stuff. Sadly, our boxed review copy of Project Gotham Racing 3 exposed a flaw or two.

At E3 2010, Microsoft surprised the gaming community with a comprehensive overhaul to the Xbox 360 design, which will completely replace the previous generation once retail stock is depleted.

Though it certainly is a fresh take on the Xbox 360's look and feel, the new design looks and feels pretty cheap in person, much to our surprise. One of the biggest marketing points of the new Xbox 360 is that it runs "whisper quiet," which may be a bit of an exaggeration, but it is definitely an improvement over the freight train-like sounds of the previous iteration.
