Anyone know an X-box game that...

Looking for a game on the old X-box with the following qualities:

1) Ship to ship (spaceship, jet, plane, etc.) that isn't gay. In fact, something really exciting where you get to fly through large battles would be cool. SOOO tired of gay flight sims masquerading as cool games.

2) Get to jump out of your ship and blow things up... or transform into robot and beat the hell out of things.

3) Solid graphics.

4) Story that isn't gay.

Any suggestions? I'm thinking one of the Star Wars games, but I'd like to hear your recomendations.

k thx

I can think of some games that meet some of those qualities, but not to the standards you expect ;p

Like that weird bounty hunter game. You can fly a ship, you can get out of the ship and do stuff on foot...but the flight mechanics suck, the foot action sucks, the graphics are mediocre, and the story is ghey!

I liked Metal Arms:

it has the blowing shit up as a robot
it has parts where you are on a rail / shooter
it has a great story
it has good controls for a FPS xbox game (which i can't stand)
good graphics

but it isn't a "you're in a spaceship then you jump out and beat ass" game. In fact the only games like that I can think of are the star wars games but they were ass IMO.

A very impressive game. May not meet all your needs but it's one of the best flight games.

Fun WWII action/flight game. You can't get out of your plane, but there are some very large battles/dogfights. It has good controls, and great graphics. You earn points the better you do and can upgrade the planes that you own, plus there's lots of stages/aircraft to unlock. It's a pretty fun game.

Be nice if they did another UN Squadron on one of the new systems.

Star Wars BattleFront 2 kind of has all of what you want.
You could also try BattleField 2 : Modern Combat. The battles do not realy involve huge armies, and the only flying things you can pilot are different kinds of helicopters, but it still quite enjoyable.
