Multiplayer games for the PS2

meglomaniac

Like many other people, my friends and I are fans of Multipayer (using the multitap) games, but have found it difficult to find really good ones. For example there are very few paty games available. I would also like to a rally game but I've heard that you can't play 4-player simultaneously or they use ghost cars so theres no collisions. I was wondering does anyone have any (they dont need to be just rally or party games!!!) suggestions. Here is a list of what I already have;
Fifa 2003 (unsure whether I should to ungrade/update)
Timesplitters(unsure whether I should to ungrade/update)
Tekken Tag
Virtua Tennis 2
Worms 3d

Crash Team Racing (PS1)
Bomberman (PS1)

Thanks for your help.:D

Well there's Gran Turismo 3, which is the only game apparently* that supports multiplayer over an iLink cable. Shame really as it's pretty damn good despite the fact that I never beat Dotc, even when I cheat by slamming him into a pole.

Oh get Hogs of War. It's originally for the PS1 but it's basically a 3d version of worms done quite well. You have to pass the controller around but it's a good laugh.

Haven't really looked into multi-tapping as we generally prefer x-box multi-player (Having 2x 25" tvs and currently 2x Ps2 and 2x X-box consoles helps)

Red faction 2 is good fun in multiplayer.
Rassling games are surprisingly good for 4 players.
Not much on PS2.

Try some old PS1 games.
Bishi Bashi Special is fantastic if you can find it.

Twisted metal black is a fantastic multiplayer game, but unfortunately the single player(which you will have to play through to get most of the features) has been completely ruined by censorship, but the multi player is just plain old brilliant.

if you really want good 4 player games buy a gamecube.

well, for racing i reckon burnout2 is one of the best multiplayers u can get. me and the brother cant stop playin timesplitters2 which u should be able to pick up pretty cheap now, and of course pro evo3 which is by far the best single and multi player footie game available IMHO. oh and soul calibur2 if u want a beat'em up.
have virtua tennis2 aswell such a great four player

HacksawEddie

how is pro evo3 4-player?
i absolutely luv it 1 & 2 player (im possibly the best in the world)
ive heard 4player is terrific, can u confirm?!

i remember playing v-rally four player when it was on the ps1 and that was great fun dunno bout the ps2 version.

most of the EA sports games are 8 player(with 2 multi-taps) like Fifa/NBA/NHL/Madden

Everquest: Champions of Norrath is a great 4 player co-op game. It's very similar to Balders Gate. There's some other gaunlet type games out there aswell for 4 people.


Here's a list of a few multi-tap games:

Quake 3
Medal of Honor: Rising Sun
Gaunlet: Dark Legacy
Crash Nitro Kart
WWE Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain
Tetris Worlds
Shox
ATV 2
Downhill Domination

I reckon if you get PES3, you won't need any other multiplayer games at all

It never loses its appeal, no matter how many times you play it (multiplayer).
Especially if the players are fairly equally matched. If you keep getting beaten, it can get a bit sickening... not that i'd know anything about that, of course

hacksaweddie: how can anyone make a claim like that? :P

HacksawEddie

haha, u mean being the greatest?
well, i usually beat all my friends most of the time, and i cant imagine anyone out their being much better than me if at all! (sorry..big head!)
it would be cool if their were big tournaments available
i think i remember seeing that in france they had massive annual tournaments
ah, sure maybe if the next pro evo has online capabilities, then i'll me able to prove myself!
