I live in a boarding house, and own a PS2. Naturally, we have a lot more fun on multiplayer games than single player ones. Right now we've played all the games we own to death, so I was wondering if you could list a few titles that you think are an absolute blast to play with 2+ players, and that you don't get bored of quickly. Thanks!

DDR

Definately - DDR is a blast. Even if you've only got one mat (two is better), it's something that the people watching can enjoy and get into as well.

If you're into RPGs and hack-and-slash games, I suggest picking up a multi-tap and getting either Champions of Norrath or Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II. They're great for all-night dungeon crawling sessions.

The ultimate multiplayer game is Halo, though. Buy an Xbox already.

The ultimate multiplayer game is Halo, though. Buy an Xbox already.While I personally disagree with this statement (I've never been too fond of Halo), he does have a point. I find Gamecube and Xbox to cater much more to the multiplayer demographic.

Not telling you to go get either one of them, but I at least find the PS2 to be a one player focused machine.

It always baffled me that they made the PS2 with two controller ports.

Red Faction 2 and Medal of Honor: Rising Sun, 2 player Tetris

For the PS2?

Well. Uhhh. Bishi Bashi for the original PSX rocks. ;)

Otherwise, I'd say go with GameCube cos: Mario Kart DD, SSB Melee, Mario Party, etc.

SOCOM and SOCOM II

Freedom fighters

oh, sorry, I thought he meant for any system, of course, you could just get a dirt cheap nintendo and tetris with 2 controllers and have a blast for hours without getting any work done...I'm telling you it is the most addicting game ever, other than Pokemon of course...

errr favourite multiplayer ps2 game huh? well ATV2 is pretty good but so's FIFA 2004

Timesplitters 2

If you're talking about multiplayer as in just you and your friends on the same screen me and my friends play NBA Street Vol. 2 (this game will give you a hilariously fun time) and there are rare occasions that we will play one of the TH games but the games we play most are Conflict: Desert Storm II and Conflict: Vietnam. If you are speaking in online terms, like someone already said Socom and Socom II are awesome as hell to play as are many, many other games but it all comes down to taste I guess.

It always baffled me that they made the PS2 with two controller ports.Think business. They make money off the multitap as well as the pads. Also, expandability to 8 players.

Timesplitters 2

I thought I was gonna be the only one to say that, barret. Me too, its brilliant.

no one plays multiplayer on ps2 do they/

me, I do with my friends...Medal of Honor: Rising Sun, and Red Faction 2.

socom2, crash team racing, chocobo racing and DDR (2nd Remix)
