We already published the list of best original Xbox games of all time, now it’s time to discover the best original Xbox puzzle games of all time.
With amazing titles available, the original Xbox definitely has a great library of puzzle games.
So, if you’re a fan of both the original Xbox and puzzle games, there’s a chance you’ll like this list.
And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.
#5. Super Bubble Pop
- Release Data: Runecraft/Jaleco Entertainment, 2002
- Genre: Puzzle » General
The shortage of contemporary competition doesn’t make Super Bubble Pop‘s lackluster package any more recommendable.
Puzzle veterans won’t find anything new or exciting here, but casual players or newcomers will probably find a thing or two to like in this game.
#4. Tetris Worlds
- Release Data: Radical Entertainment/Success, 2002
- Genre: Puzzle » Stacking
Tetris Worlds is below average and the intended visual and aural “improvements” to the GameCube and Xbox versions were a waste of time.
Instead the gameplay should have been totally reworked, especially the multiplayer mode. So, unless you’re dying to just play Tetris on your system, don’t even bother with Tetris Worlds.
#3. Egg Mania: Eggstreme Madness
- Release Data: HotGen/Kemco, 2002
- Genre: Puzzle » General
Because of the game’s less-than-appealing premise of playing the part of a brick-stacking egg, players not already steeped in the puzzle genre will probably have a hard time investing themselves in this particular game.
But puzzle fans willing to look past its superficial shortcomings will find a fun, harmless diversion in Egg Mania.
#2. Tetris Worlds (Online Edition)
- Release Data: Radical Entertainment/THQ, 2003
- Genre: Puzzle » Stacking
First things first, it’s worth noting that PC owners used to play Tetris online for free via TetriNET, which happens to be even more full-featured than Tetris Worlds.
All that aside, Tetris Worlds was the best option for console gamers looking for some online puzzle action.
#1. Ultra Bust-A-Move
- Release Data: Taito Corporation/Majesco, 2004
- Genre: Puzzle » Matching
Ultra Bust-A-Move is worth picking up if you’re a big fan of the series and if you’ve played a Bust-A-Move game before, you probably know exactly what to expect from Ultra Bust-A-Move.
Throughout the years, the Bust-A-Move series has remained a pillar of consistency, and this game does not forsake tradition.
