Forums - Gaming Discussion - List of local co-op games for this generation

Im interested in games for this generation that support local co-op for th full game -- i.e. if there is a campaign, both players can play the campaign either on split screen or on a shared screen. Games that require co-op over Live or PSN or games that require multiple consoles to play co-op don't count! In other words, a few multiplayer mini-games bolted on doesn't count. I am purposefully ignoring all sports titles as it is assumed they all have local gameplay for more than one player so leave those out.

Please post the Game, Platform, Genre, and mode of multiplayer as they are listed below. Do not add games that are "partial" 2-player where the 2nd player participates but isn't a full player. Also, those games that have a second player add-on for a partial part of the game don't count. The game has to be substantially the same in 2 player co-op. Thanks.

Resistance for PS3



                                   

Wii - Super Smash Brothers Brawl




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Both Perfect Dark Zero and Kameo have local co-op modes. Super Star Dust HD for PS3 does as well. As does Geometry Wars Galaxies for Wii.

It would help if you guys would tell me what it does -- i.e. 2 player same screen co-op, 2 player split screen, and so on... Otherwise, I don't know what to put on the list.   Please let me know the genre, too, as I haven't played EVERY game on the list so I don't know exactly what they are.

 

Also, Please don't add games that are partial.  There are a lot of games like rayman raving rabbids (one) and Super Mario Galaxy that have GREAT 2 player "features" but aren't full co-op games.  I'm going to delete those from my master list.

GRAW on 360 has 4 player split screen co-op.
Stuntman Ignition has 2 player same screen - I control the car/bike and my son wears my 360 headset and relays the directors instructions to me.



Vegas also has split-screen co-op on PS3

Oh, and the Simpsons game has split-screen coop. I know that the PS3 version does, pretty sure that the 360 version does. Grand possibility that
the Wii version does. 



Super Smash Bros. Brawl is considerably co-op, it's not partial in the line of Mario at all.

It's 2 player co-op though, not 4 player.

Left 4 Dead might get split-screen co-op on 360, but I highly doubt it.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
