Best Adventure games on Xbox 360
The 52 best Adventure games on Xbox 360, ranked from 28,873 critic and player ratings.
The best Adventure game on Xbox 360 right now is Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition, with a critic score of 95/100 — updated September 2026.
How this ranking is built
- Games are ranked on the aggregated critic score out of 100 imported from IGDB and Metacritic, never on Tier's own grades.
- A game only enters the ranking with at least 80 external ratings, so a single enthusiastic review never outranks a proven classic.
- Each game is ranked in one genre only, the one that defines it best, so the same title never tops two different genre charts.
- Community grades from F to S are shown next to every game, and only stated as a fact above 5 Tier ratings.
- Release window covered: 1970 to 2026.
- 50 games are listed on this page, carrying 28,873 ratings between them.
- Rankings are recomputed hourly; this one was last rebuilt on 29 September 2026.

Chief among them is the Stylish Rank, which grades the player's performance in combat.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
Gabriel Belmont learns of a mask with the power to raise the dead and sets out on a mission to obtain it to bring his recently murdered wife back from the dead. Lords of Shadow builds upon the combat systems first explored in this series in 2003's Lament of Innocence and adds more violent kills to the mix.
