Altaïr Ibn-La’Ahad Assassin’s Creed 3. Marcus Fenix Gears Of War There as something about Marcus Fenix that just seemed to epitomise the image of the Xbox 360 at that moment in time: big, bold, brash, and hard as nails. This was a new hero for a new generation of consoles, and he came in curb-stomping and chainsawing his way to the top of the charts. But behind all this is a clearly wounded, perhaps even emotionally deadened, human being, and that really resonates as the game progresses. Fenix’s legend can only grow. 2. Niko Bellic Grand Theft Auto IV It was a close-run thing for Niko in our poll, as his incredibly strong showing in GTA IV shot him to universal acclaim and appreciation. Few characters in videogame history have provided us with such a spectrum of emotions. Niko’s tale is such a rollercoaster ride that by the climax you’d be forgiven for feeling exhausted and perhaps even a little numb. For his part, Niko’s tortured soul, the gradual revelations about his past life, and his eventual struggle for redemption are thoroughly gripping. As this poll has proven, there are very few characters that can hold a candle to him. 1. Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3 What makes an icon? You may as well ask ‘what makes a hero?’ If either of these questions could ever be answered then this list would probably look very different, but John-117 has come to embody both of these personas. There are plenty of memorable characters in the preceding pages, some of whom have long histories stretching back far beyond the Xbox or Xbox 360, and yet there was very little doubt that the Chief would emerge victorious. Critics paint him as generic, metaphorically and literally faceless, and lacking in personality. Master Chief certainly carries archetypal qualities that may be interpreted as bland, but they are no different to those of any heroic figure. He is a man without fear, who thinks nothing of self-sacrifice, and these are qualities somewhat lacking in an age where anti-heroes prevail. Yes, he wears a mask and we can never use his face to read his emotions, but we have no need of them. In their place we have the esteem in which others hold him within the Halo universe, his unnerving dedication to duty, and his ceaseless drive. As for lacking in personality, that is obviously a conscious decision on the part of Bungie to allow you, the player, to impose your own character upon him, but then did Clint Eastwood’s Man with No Name (an inspiration for Master Chief) feel like he lacked a personality? Master Chief’s lack of character actually broadens and intensifies his appeal. It makes those subtle moments where the human being behind the armour reveals himself all the more poignant and your bond with him that much stronger. The rousing music, the immediately identifiable and now iconic armour, and the stupendous odds that are stacked against him all help to lift Master Chief up, and while none of this is necessarily unique, Bungie’s execution of them to elevate its lead character has never been bettered. There really is something very special about John-117, and that’s why he tops this chart. Hail to the Chief. Gameplayer - The Top 50 Xbox Characters of All Time
What the heck? Where's our favorite plumber? Where's our favorite swordsman (Link you noobs)? This sucks, I wanted to see them! Anyway, the ratings are pretty fair. Without a doubt Master Chief got first.
Hope that was sarcasm, since this is an XBox only list ... Anyways, i would have liked to have seen Jade be higher on the list. Beyond Good and Evil was, in my opinion, in the top 5 best games you could possibly purchase for the XBox. Glad Agent 47 is high up. Earlier games were better than the later ones. Hitman 2, namely. I still own a copy of it.
Needs more timesplitters characters, like zombie monkey and cyber monkey... Or even normal monkey....
As if Sonic was 26, he deserves to be in the top 10. Of course the MC will get first, he is like every kids gaming idol
I dunno... A hyper awesome semi-emotional ghost in a shell super warrior (The Chief) OR A zombie monkey that, when you shoot it in the head, it's head falls off but it can still run around... I dunno, they're pretty close... And Textured, please tell me you've played Future Perfect.
Yeah, i had Future Perfect, but it wasn't as good as TS2. I got super hyped about FP's release, then it turned out to be not as good.
Yeah, but gotta love the monkeys... and the cardboard robot guy... but yeah, TS2 was better than TS:FP.
Altiair made it in as #4! Awesome! Altiair is my favorite Videogame Character, but Niko bellic as #2.. that's just stupid, Niko bellic is'nt that awesome..
Idk if it is up there or not but the Knights from Castle Crashers? HELLO!?!?! They are like the best so yeah add them.... Good list though
