Best "Party Game" for Xbox

What do you think is the best party game for Xbox? The requirements are: 1) fun, 2) four players, 3) easy to learn. Nintendo has a bunch of good ones like Smash Brothers, Wario Ware, Mario Kart.. Here are some that we've tried:

* Kung Fu Chaos - good
* Fuzion Frenzy - good
* Top Spin - fun, but gets boring after a few games
* Project Gotham - fun, but tough for beginners
* Halo - awesome, but tough for beginners

Most of these are pretty old.. are there any recent ones that are any good?

Shrek Party is supposed to be decent, but not as good as Fuzion frenzy.

Fruzion Frenzy is one of the first XBOX games I purchased and remains to be the most frequently played. Mostly by my children. The XBOX needs more games in this category. I thought a sequel to FF was in the works.

Tetris Worlds is ok...
Tiger Woods is a lot of fun...

What is a good co-op game for X-box?

Besides Halo...

If you're looking for party games, stick with Gamecube

Looking forward to Fusion Frenzy 2. That on Live should be a blast (I hope).

Another nod for Fuzion Frenzy, the kids love it, I love it . . . more info on FF2 please?!

Does anybody else think "American Gladiators" when playing?

Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters
Bloodwake

Both have gotten a lot of play here... Godzilla is great in Versus mode or Team mode... with teams, if you have 3 players, you can have a computer player on the least experienced player's team to help them out...

For Thanksgiving, with about 25 people, I busted out the Karaoke Revolution.
Had a blast playing it. 4 of us were hardcore, but most others were just in it for the fun. It's amazing how you think people are going to laugh at you, and they do initially, but then you see them singing along with you. Especiallly if it's a popular song. Everyone loved watching it, and singing to it.

Next time, I'm getting out the DDR pad and that's going to be our party game.

I was getting ready to post this exact thing. Karaoke Revolution has been so popular i have had a few people over to play Halo 2 and they have asked to sing a couple songs first. It has really blown me away how much people i didn't expect to like it liked it.

ESPN NHL 2K5 has several fun, simple hockey-based mini games playable online or off to go along with all the other features. A heck of a deal for $20.
