Need a good X360 game with 4 player co-op, strong multiplayer

edited May 2008 in Games and Technology
So my roommates and I have been enjoying fighting and co-op games lately. The four of us have been playing stuff like Call of Duty 4, Virtual Fighter, Dead or Alive 4 and playing Brawl on the Wii. I'm looking for a new game for my 360 that is really good multiplayer and either a shooter or some kind of fighter. Gears of War, Halo 3 and Rainbow Six Vegas we all have and enjoy. I have a few racing games and the essential Madden as well.

I was thinking something like Vegas 2 or one of the GRAWs or possible Army of Two if you guys thought it's co-op was good but wanted to see if there as some game out there I'm overlooking. Something with co-op for as many players as possible would be awesome. What would you guys recommend? I haven't kept up with any of the 360 games that have come out this year.

Thanks.

    ROCK BAND

    EDIT: Doh, didn't see you were looking for a shooter or a fighter.

    Still, my point stands.

    Marvel Ultimate Alliance has pretty fun 4-player co-op but it's definitely not a shooter or fighter.

    Umm.

    GRAW is definitely a lot of fun with multiple people. It's one of the few (maybe only) games that supports local 4 player co-op.

    Yea, I got Rock Band. That's a blast.

    GRAW has 4 co-op? I might pick that up. Which one is most recent/bestest?

    And Marvel Ultimate Alliance might be a good idea, three of us are pretty big comic/superhero fans and I think we'd enjoy that. That's a good suggestion.

    Are you guys playing on separate 360s, or the same one?

    If separate, then Grand Theft Auto 4.

    GRAW has local 4-player Co-op? How did I miss that? I even played through half of the single-player and wished aloud to my roommate that we could tackle it together.

    Edit: if you meant system link / LAN, then I'm reverting back to sad panda status.

    I've only played the first GRAW with 4 people. From brief time I played GRAW 2 it seemed like more of the same, but that isn't a bad thing. For that reason, I would recommend Vegas 2. Sadly, no local 4 player co-op like the first one.

    Another thing Ultimate Alliance has going for it is that it's dirt cheap now.

    Truth, I picked up Ultimate Alliance for $12 used the other day, pristine disc/manual/case.

    Yea I think I am going to pick up MAU along with whatever other game I decide to get.

    We actually have two 360s in the apartment, but all four of us play at night on my 360 in the living room on the big TV. We're contracted employees living in employee housing with rotating shifts so we have shittons of time on our hands.

    So GRAW has local 4 co-op but not GRAW 2? Vegas 2 still has 2 co-op right?

    Gears 2 will also feature 4-player coop, by the by.

    Okay, so I checked it out and GRAW and GRAW2 do indeed have 4 player split-screen co-op, but not through the single player campaign. Special maps and missions were made just for it.

    Not quite super-awesome, but still pretty awesome, and I'm still an oblivious tool for missing it.

    Two player co-op for the story, four player for terrorist hunt. However, I'm not sure if you can have four on one console, or even if you can pair up on two consoles.

    Heavy Weapon is the best 4-player co-op game I've ever played although it's a shoot-em-up and not a shooter (I assume you're talking about FPS or related games like Gears).

    believe it or not co-op doom is pretty excellent though the ffa mode doesn't hold up as well today

    Fucking awesome!

    I have Heavy Weapon, I forgot about that. We'll have to play that tonight, it's a great shooter.

    Looks like I'll be picking up GRAW 2 and MUA.

    Gears 2 4 player co-op is still a rumor. Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if it were limited to 2 players locally like Halo 3.

    Castle Crashers just went gold, so it should be out soon. Its a 4 player hack and slash/adventure XBLA game, I'm pretty psyched about completing it with friends. Could be worth a look.

    Also theres a 4 player coop zombie game, on the source engine, being released in November. its called Left4Dead. This looks like a serious winner, but obviously, some waiting required.

    That's what they said last year, too. :/
