Fun Pick up and Play Local 4 Player Games (360/PS3)

They're some damn fine game you've got listed there. Fighting games are always good - especially the New Mortal Kombat or Injustice. street fighter if you want a more hardcore fighting game

Worms Armageddon is probably my favourite party game

Renegade Ops is great (Not sure if it's 4 player - definitly 2 players though

RISK Factions is great.

Sonic Racing Transformed.

Such a great game. Overshadowed by Mario Kart but this really is a pretty special title that deserves more love.

I cant think of any more off the top of my head which is a sign of the times I suppose.

Personally I'd add in a bit of motion control action but thats something I'm sure most wont agree with.

I've had many a party with friends/family and played the hell out of the Kinect Sports 1 and 2.

All of that said the Wii U is my current console of choice for multiplayer action. Mario Kart 8 and the two mario titles are fun with frantic multiplayer action. Smash bro's will seal it as the must have multiplayer console at the end of the year.

Whats that I hear you say, I dont have a wii u?!

GO BUY ONE!

LittleBigPlanet immediately comes to mind. It's 4 player both locally and online. If you get bored with main story mode levels, you can make your own (if you have enough time & patience).

I think FIFA supports up to 4 players locally but I'm not completely sure. I can't think of any others though.

It's all about Scott Pilgrim, I reckon. I've had tons of fun playing it in two player, I can only imagine the craic with four player.

Crash Team Racing is available for about a fiver on the PSN store, you can play 4 players locally as far as I remember. Absolutely brilliant game, the battle mode would be great with 4 people...

Crash Team Racing I find is a poor mans Mario Kart. The frame rate and track design really let it down. You should be able to get much better racing games that have 4 player co-op. The game seems to get high praise lately when at the time it was seen a decent game.

One game I really enjoyed in multiplayer was Castlevania Harmony of Despair. It's not a great single player game but two or more players are great. Get the PS3 version since the 360 one doesn't support 4 player local play. One thing to note is that there's a tonne of DLC for it that makes it expensive and it really only comes into its own when you have the DLC.

I disagree about CTR, played it again about a year ago and it's aged fairly well. Some of the tracks are great. Plus Mario Kart's not an option if it's 360 or PS3 only...
