Two Player Games

Dups. · Post by **Dups.** » February 3, 2004, 5:51 pm

I am looking for two player games for the Xbox that would encourage my wife to play.

I just recently purchased an xbox and I want us to be able to play some fun games together. I am thinking of games like Sonic the Hedgehog when 1 person would play Sonic and the other would play tails and we would team up and try and beat the game kinda thing.

Keep in mind that she has not played a console game since Nintendo. So she is a pure definition of "Noob" but she is catching on very fast!

Can you please name some titles that might encourage her to play the xbox and fulfill my dream of having a wife that enjoys video games.

You could try Baldur's Gate I & II. Supposedly the second picks right up where the first left off, so I'd go with the first one for the story. In fact, one of the main selling points of the Baldur's Gate games is that they can be played co-operatively.

Also, I'm fairly sure Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King has full co-op as well. If she's into the movies at all that should work nicely.

soul calibur2 seems good for noobs, since theres a lot of button mashing, and its also tons of fun with 2 people

Balder's Gate might be a bit much for someone who hasnt played games since nintendo

If you mean Baldur's Gate console games I'd agree, but if you mean the PC RPG don't even bother with co-op. It's pretty irritating.

I really can't think of much more than Halo for the X-Box on fun co-op games, but I do know Gamecube has some fun ones: Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros., etc.

Sartori is right about the gamecube games, especially mario kart.
If your Xbox is modded you could use an n64 emulator instead of buying a gamecube.

Definitely referring to the x-box/ps2 games. They're really nothing but hack & slash with a story, fun and entertaining without mind blowing depth or difficulty - turn the correct way hit the blue button, score more gold than you'll ever be able to buy her. =p
