    Dont. Xbox's multiplayer is mediocre at best and the microphone sounds like someones freaking your ear.

    My favourite Xbox multiplayer game is where one person, the owner of the Xbox, stands against a wall holding the Xbox to their chest. The second player, or however many you want, fires a 9mm handgun at the Xbox, aiming for their heart. The winner is the first person to finally penetrate the Xbox and kill the person who wasted their money on it.

    It is traditional for the other players (The gunmen) to point and laugh at the owner when he dies.

    Even though the poster specifically asked for no "Xbox sux0rzz" posts some people can't resist, those people need to grow up.

    Now back onto topic, I really suggest you get crimson skies, I don't know how it plays on a Xbox but it is a really wicked game atleast on the PC. The single player campaine isreally well writen and the multiplayer rocks.

    I didn't say that the "Xbox sux0rzz", i just dislike any of the multiplayer games since there's rarely any fun ones. Also, coupled with that, i tied in a little fact that an Xbox can actually withstand a 9mm round. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    But anyway, the Tony Hawk series are ALWAYS fun (to me at least) and they're great in multiplayer too, if you like those kind of games.

    Also, i believe Counter-Strike is multiplayer on Xbox......... *chuckles*

    I meant more of split screen/system link multiplayer, not xbox live. Like I said its fun to play split screen when friends are over.

    I disagree with multi not being fun for xbox. Back when I lived in Chicago(I just moved about 4 months ago to athens Greece) every other weekend we we would go to one of our friends houses(he had a big house) with our xboxs and do a 4 xbox system link and most of the time we could round up 16 people. Ofcourse, mostly playing halo(racing games and some others) let me tell you that was fun as hell!

    I know most of you guys are going to be like thats stupid you can just play over the internet with PC, but its just not the same. Being in the same basement hanging out,(drinking sometimes,lol) hearing all the taunts and swears is so much better then online at your computer

    I still would like to hear of more xbox multi games people enjoy

    Rainbow Six 3 has no split screen multiplayer mode, so that's out.

    Do you have Soul Caliber? That's a good one.

    Please stop making threads about the Xbox, it only attracts idiotic Xbox flamers <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    As for games, me and my friends like to play Jet Set Radio Future or Dead or Alive : Volley Ball

    Wow, a large portion of you are llamas...

    Anyways, what specific genre are you looking at?

    The former is boring, and the latter is for horny teens...make your choice. I'd toss them both out and get something that you will still play when you find a girlfriend.

    Are you looking at X-Box Live games as well ?

    well I always like first-person shooters. But if im going to play fps with my friends we play halo. So Im open to any genre racing/sport(football)/action. I think I might just go with Crimson Sky and a football or racing game.
  • TychoCelchuuuTychoCelchuuu Anememone Join Date: 2002-03-23 Member: 345Members
    Crimson Skies all the way. I'm actually not so sure about the split screen, but XBOX Live + Single Player are both awesome so there's no reason to assume split screen is different.
  • KageKage Join Date: 2002-11-01 Member: 2016Members
    The Ghost Recon games are pretty good. There's also XIII (which is an FPS, but it's in a different style). I also recommend Soul Calibur II; it's more fun when the people you play are at your skill level.

    Then i apologise.

    Mech assualt is fun aswell if you enjoy that sort of thing.

    You need to understand, I wasn't talking to you, but all the people who persisted in saying the X-Box sucks.
  • VigilVigil Join Date: 2003-10-28 Member: 22066Members
    I really, really recommend Soul Calibur II. It takes a while to unlock all the goodies, but being able to use weapons with different abilities is great, as are some of the new character costumes. It's great fun in multiplayer, though only two players at a time (unless there's a weird tag mode I haven't tried yet). I just had a friend bring his X-Box here for a few days and Soul Calibur II was definitely our favorite of the bunch of games we played.

    Of course, it helps if the people you're playing with won't stop playing it as soon as they lose.

    I downloaded a demo of a game called Dues Ex 2: Invisible war. The Physics system is incredible, it reminded me of Half-life 2. I saw it was available for xbox, you might wanna look into that.

    OMG XBOX sucks lol live is dumb roffles buy a ps2 i have 1 and we r soi much cooler then xbox usesrs cause xbxo sucks lol newb.

    ^^^ If anyone posts like that, I will kill them. (looks at Vulgar Menace)

    You should buy Crimson Skies. Its your duty as an xbox owner if you have live. I haven't tried split screen.

    Kung Fu Chaos has good multiplayer, but the SP sucks.

    Another great game is Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War. It got a [9.2] rating (OXM). The sweet part is the multiplayer classes:

    1) <u>Medic</u>. He can heal guys (duh) and can revive you if your body isn't blown to smithereens. He isn't too well armed however - so protect him!
    2) <u>Engineer</u>. Need to blow something up? He's your dynamite man. He can set explosives, disarm explosives, and packs more grenades than anyone else. Booyah.
    3) <u>Solider</u>. The basic grunt, he's the only one who can pack the flamethrower and Venom Chaingun (AKA the Leaky Piece of Meat cannon).
    4) <u>The Leutenant</u>. He can give ammo to his friends for free and packs a hefty sidearm. He has air raid canisters. They work like so:
    a) Throw cannister
    b) Run like Hell
    c) BOOM! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
    Plus his binocs give you intel data.

    I have one last question. I just moved from the US to Europe(Greece). I bought my xbox in the states. Do European xbox games and dvds work on it.

    I don't know for certain, but in the history of consoles, there's always been seperate US / EU / Jap versions.
