Yeah, MKWii and SSBB are the best and most sofisticated multiplayer games this gen, both will pass 10 million lifetime.

 

what? they are good games, but far away to be called sophisticated.

Indeed. Because when I think of sophisticated, I think of (and to quote Rubang):

"Music, motorcycles, stunts, wheelies, new items, new characters, and wide variety of vehicles"

If that's sophisticated, then damn, San Andreas beat Mario Kart by about 3 and a half years.

 

The "sophisticated" games were always awful in multiplayer though.

 

Quoted for truth...Manuelf might be off the ball a little bit, but I've learned that the more complicated a game is, the worse it is for multiplayer - roughly speaking.

I think that's one reason nobody wants any part of Metroid Prime 2's multiplayer.  I played around in it on my own a little and it seems fine...but learning how to lock-on, use the morph ball, etc. adds a layer of complexity to the standard FPS formula which is already complicated enough.

So the game is fine if I'm playing it, but if I try to introduce it to three friends who have never played a Metroid Prime game before, it's going to be no fun because they can't figure out WTH they're doing.
