Obviously not the console of choice for this sort of gaming, but there has to be a few good titles, right? I'm not thinking of system link multiplayer - just one xbox, one tv, and 4 pads

Fusion Frenzy

 

[FightyF]

Sports!

Live, Madden, NFL 2KX, NHL 2KX, NBA 2KX, NHL Hitz, Tiger Woods, Links, and Top Spin. More casual gamers will prefer Top Spin over simulations like NHL 2KX and Madden.

Games like NBA Street vol 2 are also considered fun...heheh I hate the game.

Project Gotham Racing 2 is also very good, as well as Rallisport Challange 2 (from what I've heard). Moto GP1 and 2 are really good.

Of course there are a good number of FPS games.

Brute Force's 4 player is considered average by most, but I've had a lot of fun with it. Timesplitters 2 and Halo are the ones to get. Oh, and don't forget Deathrow!

DoA3 is great with 4 players. Kung Fu Chaos is alright, the minigames are the ones you'll spend the most time on.

Dare I say that the Xbox has dethroned the Dreamcast to become the #1 multiplayer console? It has all the sports games the DC has, all the fighters, all the racers...but adds one some awesome FPS games.

 

[keeblerdrow]

no.

 

[Desperado]

erm, Halo?

 

[Keio]

But what if the predominantly male fields of shooting (fps), racing and sports are excluded? Is Fuzion Frenzy worth picking up even for 4,99$? How does DOA 4-player work? Tag team?

 

[FightyF]

Yeah FF is worth it for $5, no doubt bro.

DoA3 is tag team fighting.

 

[Oni Link 666]

DOA3 4 player is tag team and is pretty popular with Xbox/DOA3 fans around here. I suppose it's pretty fun if you like DOA3.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Though I personally think the games are mediocre, the Hunter: The Reckoning games are 4-player co-op affairs that could provide some decent fun. I'd pick up D&D Heroes instead, though.

 

[Azih]

Well, the Fusion Frenzy demo on Halo has some Amazingly fun mini games included that can waste a few hours.

Twisted System is a *very* addictive one, and the demo has some pretty sweet variations on the classic Bumper Balls.

 

[IgeL]

Twisted System is the ultimate party game. Especially when people are so tired or wasted that they can't really do anything else. We've spent countless hours just pressing the two buttons.

I'd suggest Kung Fu Chaos too. It has some fun minigames and the storymode ain't that bad either.

Hunter is alright but the camera really ruins it for more than two people. D&D Heroes, BGDA, BGDA2 are fun if you like those kind of games.

Metal Arms would probably be one of the best, if you like action/shooting games.

Hmmm...those should keep you busy. Glad I could help out.

Suggesting they get a 'Cube for good multiplayer games... Nice call.

 

[Johnny Konami]

We got a cube and most of the games mentioned here for it Was enquiring about Xbox games though..

 

[CrimsonSkies]

D&D Heroes is a blast for 4 Player fun. Although it's not a party game per say.

Dance Dance Revolution is also fun. Women love this game.

You might want to try Trivial Pursuit.

DoA3 is fun for 4 players.

Fusion Frenzy is ok, but it's like Mario Party in that you'll be tired of each game in like 10 minutes of play.

I'd rent all of these you could.
