I'm trying to find a good 2 player co-op game for either the Xbox or PS2.

I don't have a particular genre in mind. Probably no sport games. Everything else I like pretty much. I'm trying to find a game where I can play with my sister since she always seems bored watching me play on my own. We played Halo and we both liked it a lot. Anything else?

Copenhagen

Hunter or Gauntlet for mindless slashing fun

Trigger

Hunter for Xbox
Halo for Xbox
Half-Life (Decay) for PS2

I thought only a short segment of Half-Life was co-op?

Trigger

Yeah - just the Decay mini-game. It's only about 1/4 as long as Half-Life.

We rented Halo and it was awesome. We're going to wait til Halo 2 to come out and get that instead.

Thanks for the suggestion on Gauntlet. The graphics don't look that great though? How's the game play? As good as the original or better?

What other games, keep em coming. Thanks for all the suggestion.

BTW, I'm also looking into getting a Gamecube...depending if the local gamestore here has some used consoles.

Trigger

Gauntlet is terrible. As a fan of the original arcades, the new Gauntlet Legends was poo.

Hunter is like Gauntlet only better.

Why wait for Halo 2? Get Halo. Xbox has a bunch of cool party games like Kung-Fu Fighters or whatever and they have a few out that were out at launch.

Also - for GCN, there's those fighter games with Mario and everyone. They also have those Monkey Ball games, but I'm not sure if those are multiplayer.

What about Tekken or Virtua Fighter or DOA3? Dead or Alive 3 seems to be really popular with girls for some reason - my gf likes to kick my ass in that game.

I havent played these yet but bought them on recommendations of coop stuff.

Contra (PS2)
TimeSplitters (PS2)

SPY

Gromit

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. Better than Hunter IMO.

How is Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance? I was thinking about getting it.

Time Splitters 2 is available on all consoles. It seems to be hit or miss with gamers. It is well reviewed though. (FPS)

Franksta

the new contra game is 2-player. you could get that. it's a lot more fun with two people.

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance is an awsome game. Very fun co-op. Much better than Gauntlet. I spent many many hours (over 100) playing this game.

Gromit

I loved Baldur's Gate. Think Diablo in the D&D universe. My dad and I beat in a little over 17 hours I think (my mom and wife shop, we play games). Some people say it's too short, but you have 3 characters to choose from plus an unlockable one too.
