We had a great response to the first Pick One challenge we did here at Pure Xbox, so we're doing it again! This time, we're still focusing on original Xbox titles, but we've picked three more games to choose from. So, here's what we want to know - which of the following games would you remaster? Remember, you can only pick one!
Let's take a look at what we're working with:
Project Gotham Racing (2001)
The first Project Gotham Racing was a launch title for the original Xbox back in November of 2001, and was the successor to the critically-acclaimed Metropolis Street Racer on the Sega Dreamcast. It quickly proved popular, and went on to spawn another three sequels on Xbox/Xbox 360.
Def Jam: Fight For NY (2004)
2003's Def Jam Vendetta was highly popular for the original Xbox, combining hip-hop with pro wrestling while utilising the popular AKI wrestling game engine. Def Jam: Fight for NY proved even more successful a year later, featuring a new fighting engine and over 60 playable characters.
Tony Hawk's Underground (2003)
The first Tony Hawk's Underground was a major departure for the series, introducing a fully-fledged story mode alongside new features such as the ability to get off your board. It's one of the most popular games in the series, and is seen by some as the best Tony Hawk game of all time.
Let us know which of these games you'd remaster in the poll, and explain why in the comments below.

Tony Hawk's Underground for me! I never owned it for Xbox, but I still play THPS4 via Xbox 360 backwards compatibility.
All of them! Never played PGR but I had metropolis street racer on Dreamcast. Never played fight for NY but I rented vendetta on GameCube from blockbuster, I didn't really appreciate it so much back then but I'd love to play all 3 games in the series now. Thug is brilliant of course but I prefer pro skater. I wish they were BC with Xbox one!
Ha! No challenge whatsoever. Project Gotham Racing, obviously.
Really enjoying this feature.
Another great selection. I gotta go with THUG though. Not my favourite Tony Hawk game but man we really need a decent skateboarding game again.
All these games are certainly wonderful. But how beautiful Def Jam was. For me it still remains the best fighting game. A very cool combat system from mixing different fighting styles made it possible to create a unique fighter. and special attention deserves a great soundtrack.
Project Gotham Racing!!!! it was one of the only 3 games I had with the original xbox! So it's special to me!!
Please, someone at Microsoft, read this and make this game BC on Xbox one ditigal too, please!!!
Project Gotham Racing, no question. And I'll go a step further, I'd love to see the series return. I know we have Forza Horizon now, but PGR is different enough that they could co-exist.
Tony Hawk Underground would be my choice, Back when Tony Hawk games were actually good..
I don't like any of these games either. ( x_x)
Buuuut... hmmmm... I guess riding skateboards and making friends doesn't sound too bad, so Tony Hawk would be my choice.
How about PGR4
Def Jam without question. Those games were so much fun to play back then!
Tony Hawk Underground all the way. Played this series to hell on all 3 of the 6th gen systems so much. The online community for some of these older games (on PS2) is surprisingly large given it's 2020
Project Gotham Racing was great fun.
PGR for me, by far.
PGR 💯%. I’m surprised it never got made BC before so I can only hope it does after Series X is out then the BC team can go back and start bringing out old classics again to Xbox One and Series S/X.
@MaccaMUFC I hope so! I'm ready to buy all the BC games I can!
Without a doubt PGR. I never owned an original Xbox but my friend did. Everytime I went over to his place it we would play PGR and Halo for hours on end. Such a great game shame that the studio that made them is no longer around.
@UnconfirmedBit It not up to Microsoft it's actually up to Activision as they now own the PGR name since they bought out Bizarre Creations in 2007. This is why there hasn't been a PGR game since 4 and why MS created the Forza Horizon games.
@Tasuki oh, I understood, that's sad sad because I don't think Activision will make another PGR!
@UnconfirmedBit Probably not since they owned the IP since 2007 and we haven't seen one yet. The studio that created the game Bizarre Creations was dissolved upon purchase.
One of the easiest picks, Project Gotham Racing - although 2 was better.
PGR for me. Haven't played the series in years
@Tasuki oh, I understood, thanks... I just hope all the developers found another job in gaming development, at least. They were talented people and they gifted us many, many hours of fun with PGR!
I will thank them forever
@UnconfirmedBit I am sure they did that was 13 years ago.
I spent so many hours playing THUG back in the day, but I'm not sure I'd be interested in a remaster of it. I think I'll have to go with PGR.
Gotham by a mile. Love that game.
No love for Def Jam?!
I used to love that game so much haha
