Forums - Microsoft - Is there any good casual games for 360?

kingofwale on 17 August 2008

looking for 2 players easy-to-get-into, local multiplayer games when my girlfriend comes over.

 

*note*, no, I won't get a Wii, so please don't suggest.

 

*extra note*, no XBL games, my arcade version won't have space for them.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

Virtua Tennis 3 (or any sports game not related to NFL really), Kameo has some decent 2 player action, Guitar Hero, Viva Pinata, Lego Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

Kind of a shame you don't have a HDD, because the best casual games are on XBLA.

I would not go passed the hardcore games either. I've known females that hate games that got into Halo 3, purely because it's such a thrill when they get a kill. Don't get stuff like Gears and Rainbow Six: Vegas because it'll be a little too uninviting, but don't think they won't like it just because it takes more then 5 minutes to understand how the game works.

Halo 3 is quite casual friendly. Just play it at a lower difficulty level, or better yet, just play local multiplayer against each other, changing all the settings so you are super fast, or you jump really high. Hella funny.:D



Will you teach me to football?

yeah, but i am not paying 100 bucks for a hard-drive when I get my core for 199.


Also, I am not going to pay for gold membership.


I am still getting hardcore games for myself. I just need a game or two so when my girlfriend comes over and if she wants to play sometime, it can be done.

Scene it, table tennis.



NeoRatt on 17 August 2008

My Favorites:
Scene It! if you like trivia games...
Sega Tennis Superstars (Way more casual then virtua tennis)...
Burnout Revenge / Paradise...
Flatout: Ultimate Carnage (Like Burnout)...
Project Gotham Racing 3/4...
Viva Pinata (Rare's version... Not Multiplayer but people have fun giving each other advice on their gardens... Viva Pinata 2 will be multi-player)
Kameo (Kind of casual)

There are a lot of XBLA games that fit this category but you didn't want them... That's where most casuals sit right now...

Typical Favorites:
Guitar Heros...
Rock Band...
Lego ...



NeoRatt on 17 August 2008

I also had a bunch of friends over a couple weeks ago and they really liked GRID. Not sure if it is multi-player on a single 360... But, I had 4 racing wheels setup throughout my house and everyone was lovin' it...

Can't you put arcade games on the 256 Mb Card?  Seems plausible to me...  You can buy games on Live Arcade, then delete them, then download them again as Microsoft keeps track that you purchased them...  Just a suggestion...  Live Arcade has a 150 Mb limit in size.
