What are good 4-player XBOX games?

Eventually Halo is gonna get old (although my roommates still play it to death), and no one seems to enjoy Rallisport Challenge or sports games on 4-player mode, what else is out there?

I was going to get Medal of Honor: Frontline, which is apparently a good game, but EGM ripped the 4-player mode, calling it a last minute tack-on.

How is TimeSplitters 2? It's supposed to be GoldenEye/Perfect Dark for the new generation, but is it just Halo light?

Anyone try Deathrow? Gamespot loved it, but EGM trashed the life out of it.

What else is out there? Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon?

Timesplitters 2 is a lot of fun for multiplayer. It's fast-paced, has varied levels, and there are lots of very different weapons. It's also very customizable and, unlike Halo, has bots.

Halo will never get old. Have you played it online yet? Otherwise I would look for Unreal Championship and MechAssault on Nov 12th.

I hear Timesplitters 2 is TOO fast. It's almost cartoonish/arcadish. Makes Halo seem extremely slow after playing it from what i heard.

I enjoy NHL Hitz as a 4 player game, yet that is sports.

Deatrow is a great multiplayer game. It does have one foot in the sports genre, but also action/fighting. Controls take a little bit to get comfortable but once you get used to them it is a blast. I highly recommend it for multiplayer.

The Deathrow review in EGM is a joke. Worst review ever.

Oh wait the Game Informer review of Quatum Redshift is a tie.

Both games are great fun for 1 or more players.

Personally, I think the worst reviews have to go to GamePro. Even their negative reviews seem to have an awfully positive spin on them. It's like they're just one big ad.

bots are computer controlled players so you don't need 4 players.

really? from many people's impressions and the reviews its gotten, this is supposed to be a great game but i seriously can't seem to enjoy it. i've played many, many wrestling games (from WWF Royal Rumble on Dreamcast, to old school games on old consoles, to firepro wrestling, to Smackdown on PS, and all the N64 wrestling titles). I've found some sort of enjoyment on all except this one. I personally think I don't know how to play the damn_game yet. What do you think? What's the fun aspects of the game that I should try out a bit more?

Is Deathrow linkable? Actually, how many games other than Halo can be multi-system?

Is Hunter: The Reckoning pretty fun? I'm trying to find quality four-player games that my Halo-crazed roommates would enjoy, so unfortunately sports games out.
