Good Multiplayer Game? - VGF

Zeldaperson · 04-20-2006, 08:33 AM

Hey,

I'm having a party with some friends in a few weeks and I would like some reccomendations for a good multiplayer game (4 players) for the Gamecube. No excessive violence or M ratings please. I have SSBM, and that's always good, and my friend is bringing Star Fox Assault. I also have Mario Party 4 and 5, as well as Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Something relativley new or something that's coming out soon (before May 26)

Thanks for your help!

F-Zero GX. And don't play Mario Party 4 and 5, get 6 and throw away the other two.

Hmmm...Looks like you've got all the basic ones covered. If I had to give you any more, I'd say...007: Nightfire or something.

Hey, if you can relax the multiplayer requirement, I'd recommend 'Ikaruga', the best goddamned scrolling shooter since 'Raiden Project'. Granted, it's only two players at a time, but the other two people in the room can occupy themselves laughing at the players' ineptitude.

If you've got the bongos, maybe Donkey Konga? I hated that game one-player, but with four people it'd probably be a blast.

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!

Super Monkey Ball 2 is great, if you like that sort of thing.
And, as always, any of the Mario Sports titles. Maybe not Tennis so much, but Baseball is great.

just stay away from mario party if you want to have fun.

Tad Venture · 04-20-2006, 02:57 PM

Oh, Super Monkey Ball is rockin'. Mario Super Strikers is another great one.

Zeldaperson · 04-20-2006, 03:50 PM

Ah yes, I forgot! I also have Mario Power Tennis. Thanks for all your ideas! I have 2 Donkey Konga bongos, so that might be fun...

So you say I should get rid of Mario Parties 4 and 5? Guess I could sell them and use the money on MP6 (or 7) How is Mario Party 7 compared to MP6?

Oh, and Ikaruga, is that anything like Contra for the NES? Because I thought that was an awsome co-op game.

As far as only two-player games, I have a lot. There's The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, Choronicles of Narnia, Donkey Konga (only 2 controllers), Soul Calibur 2, The Wind Waker (one person be Link, the other person be Tingle on the Tingle Tuner :-p)...etc...

Oh! And there's also Four Swords Adventuers and Kirby Air Ride. Ok. I'll shut up now. XD I THINK that's all the multiplayer games I have.

Ikaruga is somewhat like Contra, except it requires some quick thinking. It's similar in the sense that they're both run-and-guns, but Ikaruga is certainly a lot harder.

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles is a pretty good multiplayer game. I didn't think too highly of it in single-player mode, but multiplayer was awesome (except that one person had to spend the whole time carrying the chalice).

Tad Venture · 04-20-2006, 08:09 PM

I'd say selling 4 and 5 and buying 6 is worth it.

Codiekitty · 04-20-2006, 11:15 PM

How is Ikaruga like Contra? Ikaruga is an upward scrolling bullet hell shmup, while Contra is a side-scrolling run-and-gunner.

I don't remember what the rating is, but TimeSplitters 2 (or as I call it, Monkeys with Rocket Launchers) is great for some multiplayer laughs.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

F-zero 64 or perfect dark
