Crash · 08-02-2005, 01:30 PM

As reviewed by Filter on G4 television:

10. Madden series
9. Wario Ware Inc.
8. Donkey Konga
7. DDR
6. Zelda: 4 swords
5. Mario Party Series
4. Halo 2
3. Mario Kart: DD
2. Goldeneye 007
1. Smash Bros Melee

everything but halo 2 is on a nintendo system (not exclusively for 2 of them).... Nintendo = BEST Party system of all time!

Yeah I agree w/ that list, I think I've played or known people who play those games all the time with friends. Sans 4 Swords.. you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find 4 people with GBAs.

I don't play many party games, but hands down, Melee gets number one. :P

Four Swords shouldn't be that high on the list.

SSB:M...where art thou sequel with thy onlineth play....

Where's Mario Power Tennis?

Good list, but I don't think there was any question as to whether nintendo was the best for party games or not. That is definitely one of their greatest strengths.

Why is Wario Ware on that list? Wario ware had a very select few little games where 2 people played on the same GBA...shouldnt be anywhere near that list.

Yeah it had a GCN version which was pretty cool.

But from what I hear basically the same mini-games. Of course sans the multiplayer centric ones like airplane or I could be mistaken.

I'm sure you don't really need to ask.

But why.. I mean its not like Crash created this list and to be fair I honestly can't think of too many party games on the PS2... but thats just me... So I am interested in seeing this list.

the PS2 only has 2 controller ports...IMO, a true "Partay" game must suppourt 4 players.

Phew, thank god for the multi-tap then.

top 2 all time for me (from personal experience) would be:

Goldeneye 007

and

EA Sports annual lineup (Madden, FIFA, MVP Baseball, Tiger Woods, etc.)

Of those, I believe I've only partied with Halo 2, SSB:M, and MK

D.

SCII is fun as well, even though it isn't a true party. Still works well at a party.
