dwarf Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I've recently bought a pair of controllers from Gamestation for 40 quid, which was pretty damn good, thing is I don't have much in the way of multiplayer games and seeing as there are vastly conflicting opinions on which one's to buy I'd like to get your expert opinions. Looking online I cant decipher what the better one to go for is (excluding strikers charged: Warioware Raving Rabbids Monkey Ball Umbrella Chronicles As you can probably see it doesn't really matter what genre the game is, all I want to know is which is the best 2 player option. I can hold out a couple more weeks so should I wait? (is Bwii multiplayer?) Cheers for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 WarioWare if you want party style games and Resident Evil if want something more serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raving Rabbids still keeps on amazing me at how good a job it does at introducing newcomers to the Wii. UC is pretty too, only 2P though. You can count in GH3 too; awesomeness solo, awesomeness multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 Thing is I dont know if I could handle seeing the poor graphics on that. My friends would crack up too. I've just thought. Does heroes 2 support co-op? Good example of what i mean though, one says warioware, the other says rabbids... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnieboy Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I was personally disappointed with the Warioware multiplayer as you have to pass the controller around for the most part, which if you think about it you have to undo the wii strap then hand it to the person so they can put it on. Why they didn't make it like warioware on the gamecube where everyone can use their own controller i don't know |: Although saying that the one player is bloody excellent and you could easily take it in turns, but if you're looking for multiple controller use probably not the best game for it, (just my opinion though).

Hero-of-Time Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 You really cant go wrong with either Rabbids or WarioWare when it comes to multiplayer so its a win win situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 Fair point because I'd rather have simultaneous controller use. HoT maybe rabbids is better then if both players can hold controllers. Although reading IGN's review made me think that there wasnt any simultaneous stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I know I havent mentioned the ones from the list but I'd like to add one game for you to possibly decide on: Fifa 08 Fifa 08 on Wii is quite enjoyable. My cousin doesnt own the game but when I took it round he picked up the controls and enjoyed it a lot. Some matches we played against each other while others we were on the same side but against the computer. I'd say Fifa 08 is an underrated game, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japjer Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 There is some, but only after you unlock them in solo mode AND score mode and even then there's only a number of games that are multiplayer. However, the story mode alone is alot to fun with two players, even if you have to pass the controller around. The game is alot of fun to watch as well as play. Edit: This is about Rayman, obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 I think i'll hold out for pro evo if i get a football game but yeah, i did consider it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh_gamer Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Does heroes 2 support co-op? It only has online multiplayer but Battalion Wars 2 has online and at home multiplayer! Have you considered Mario Party 8? From your list, I would choose Rayman or Resi, as they both are great games and lots of fun in both single and multi-player. Nobody ever wants to play Wario Ware's multiplayer mode when I get it out, and Monkey Ball is just sh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I love Rayman Rabbids, but Rabbids 2 is supposedly better for multiplayer as it's more simultaneous than the first one. Ive never had a problem though, love it. As to what game you get I think it more depends on who you are playing with. A fellow gamer? Then Ghost Squad and Umbrella Chronicles are both great - Ghost Squad looks a bit naff (though I like its retro arcade feel) and is VERY short but it's nice to have a burst through in co-op and 4 player ninja/bikini mode is really fun. Umbrella Chronicles is just a quality game, really fun and challenging, and big too. Both great games. If it's with a non-gamer than Rabbids, Wario Ware, Kororinpa, Big Brain Academy, Mario Party, or Olympics I would recomend. All of the above games even serious gamers cna enjoy though.

mcj metroid Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 raving rabbits 2 is an amazingly fun game thats much better than the first. its the best multiplayer game on the wii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 Thing is i could probably find the first rabbids cheaper so im still not sure. as for mar par i bought 5 on cube and single player was laughable but multi was fun. however ive heard the minis hav little depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekunando Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Rayman Raving Rabbids is in 2 for £30 in Argos.. (or £19.99 on it's own..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tapedeck Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 raving rabbits 2 is an amazingly fun game thats much better than the first. its the best multiplayer game on the wii. I agree that this is a good party game. I would have second thoughts about purchasing it as a single-player title though. However, there are some excellent "high score challenges" in there for the lonesome player. I can understand the negativity and wholesome disinteret for the title but I would say you cannot go wrong with Carnival Games. Everyone who has played this title that I know of have instantly found i charming. I even play the single player today for the coconut shy games, bowling and duck shoot levels. It really is an excellent party game and, although the production values aren't through the roof the successful mini-games make this more than worthwhile and it has actually stayed glued to my wii longer than any of the rayman titles have. The simplicity of each mini game (and the correlation between real-life fun-fair events) make this an understandable and enjoyable jaunt to gamers of all ages. One to look at for sure. And possibly cheaper than the rest. I've see it for £17 online and for that price I would say take the plunge, you wont regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Oh yeah, Pro Evo also deserves to come into the equation. Footie is always best 1 or 2 player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtle Squad Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 you have to undo the wii strap then hand it to the person so they can put it on. Or you could hold the controller with your hand and have a grip:heh: Why they didn't make it like warioware on the gamecube where everyone can use their own controller i don't know |: Yep....Gamecube Wario Ware was GREAT for multiplayer; me and my mates used to play it constantly:) Mario Party's alright for a 15/20-turn go on multiplayer every now n then; me n my mates always have a laugh cos the game's so unfair.
