Hi and welcome to my first review . I'm writing a review about Microsoft Xbox

Xbox was first developed within Microsoft by a small team which included a game developer called Seamus Blackly.
Microsoft Xbox is a sixth video game console made, it was made by


Microsoft .It was Microsoft's first product .Xbox was released in the 15 November 2001 in North America, February 22 2002 in Japan. It was later released on March the 14th 2002 in Europe. some of the first

_ Xbox games

xbox games that were made were Halo, combat evolved, amped,freestyle snowboarding, dead or alive 3 and project Gotham
racing, MotoGP, Mech Assault and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon.
The last released game for the Xbox was Madden NFL 08, in August 2007.

Several best-selling and critically acclaimed titles for the Xbox were published, such as Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, Ninja Gaiden and Lucas Arts' Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Take-Two Interactive

And odd world: Munch's oddysee.This is the best console that i have ever seen, it doesn't get faulty easily


What has Xbox got in it?_

Microsoft Xbox has got in it733 MHz Intel Pentium III,233 MHz NVIDIA NV2A,DVD, CD,8-10GB Internal HDD, 8 MB memory card, combination 100Mbit Ethernet, Xbox live.

_ The top selling game

The top selling game on Xbox is Halo. 2.8 million people bought this top selling game


_ Xbox Official accessories

The accessories that Xbox has are: wireless controllers or wired controllers, DVD sensor, DVD remote control cable RF Adapter, Advanced AV Pack, High Definition AV Pack , steering wheel
and power lead.


_ Hardware


Xbox was the first console that had a hard disk drive .the hardware is mostly used for Xbox live and saved data. The Xbox by it's self is much heavier and larger because of the hardware.


because there is Xbox 360 they don't make Xbox games anymore.Xbox 360 has much better graphics than Xbox. but i think that the xbox has very good graphics but i am afraid that the console is now getting old so not many people by it anymore


_ my opinion

I have got Xbox and i think it is brilliant because it is a Pentium 3 and has hardware. on the inside it looks like a computer.the controllers are excellent especially the wireless controller, because they are much more easier to control.


The DVD remote and the sensor are perfect. The only disadvantage is the sensor only gets controlled by the DVD remote you can't use the controller, you just have to use the DVD remote .

The av lead is simple to put in the xbox . The Xbox is brilliant because it plays games simply.The internet on it is excellent it gets you online easily. Xbox 's power stays on for a long time.The buttons are easy to see , to turn it on .

Ethernet

The Ethernet cable is easy to slot because the Ethernet cable it is hard to put in ,but the slot is quite smooth so it makes the cable easily to go in.
