Recommended multi-player console games

[Pompey]

As Christmas is approaching it's a time for sitting about getting drunk and playing video games.

What are the best multi-player games about? (Mainly PS2 games needed, although X-box and gamecube ones considered)

At the mo we mainly end up playing Pro-evo 4 [football game (Soccer)] and a bit of virtua tennis 2 - and maybe Mario Kart or even Goldeneye/Perfect Dark if we're feeling a bit retro/sentimental.

I'm guessing there are many quality games about that I've never played - anything that has 4-6 player action needed. Also games that females can play would be useful, they don't always appreciate watching a 4 hour footy tournament.

Twisted Metal black, X-men legends, super smash brothers

Winning eleven soccer 7 (Yes, weird name)- The most accurate soccer simulation available. Makes FIFA look like a child's game.

Champions of Norrath. Somewhat geekish, but is by far my favorite non sports multiplayer of the last year (Hmmm). High replay value and very addictive.

I'll also second the previous poster's recommendation of Twisted Metal Black.

Halo 2 clearly(up to 16 players)
Mario Kart Double Dash(up to 8 players)

MarioKart in any of its incarnations is a hall-of-fame caliber game single or multi-player.

Bond is always good. I've got the latest one for the cube and it's pretty good. Pikmin 2 is a great game mostly single player, at least until you unlock the multi-player part, but it's decent multi-player too. Mario Party games are good if you've got kids/girls playing or if you're drunk.

Tiger Woods 2005
Time splitters 2

Isn't Winning Eleven 7 the same as Pro Evo 4?

X-Men... you wont regret it.

Mario Power Tennis. It's so easy to get started playing, and incredibly addictive.

I am so jealous you have Pro Ev 4 already. As an American Xbox player, I have to wait until 2/05 for this. *sigh* I've played it on PS2 and it is easily my favorite sports game ever.

I've found that chicks seem to like role playing/adventure type games like Gauntlet Legends the best.

for ps2 ghost recon 2 is the best multi player game right now in my opinion. ill be playing it all tomorrow afternoon and night with my son in law. it has split screen and the coop mode missions are outstanding. its not as fun as halo 2 but you did say ps 2.
