Probably the most surprising game that isn't backwards compatible, it's widely regarded as a classic of the Xbox 360. Idk whether it's an issue with emulation or it's a licensing issue which that's why it got delisted but even so, the same thing happened to Driver San Francisco but that game is backwards compatible as long as you have the disc or bought it digitally when it was available. Xbox has renewed the BC program so hopefully this game will one day be on that list. Even if you can't purchase it digitally anymore, you should still be able to play it if you own the disc.

This game pretty much combines what i loved about Hot Pursuit 2, 2010 and Underground 2 into a very fun and chaotic combat racer. It's my 3rd favorite overall just behind Carbon and MW05 and imo this is the last "good" NFS game, every game since has been a disappointment. The soundtrack while not my cup of tea is also the last good one in the series, standout track being the Castle of Glass Remix from Linkin Park.
