The Lego games (Batman, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean): Travellers Tales knows that there isn’t a huge lobby full of gamers waiting to play a Lego game alongside someone through Xbox Live.
Now that’s something to boomshakalaka about. This version does just as well, thanks to local multiplayer and plenty of faithful arcade action, just the way you remember it from the good ol’ days. Well, you can relive those days again with the 2010 release of NBA Jam, which is now budget priced around $20 thanks to the release of the XBLA On Fire Edition. NBA Jam: Remember when NBA Jam first made its debut in arcades back in the 90’s? The best way to play was to grab three of your friends and stack up in the multiplayer cabinet for a night of basketball hoopin’ and high-flying dunks. So, yeah, grab your favorite game and get to smacking someone around. Offline, we have yet to experience such a problem. With fighting games (like the ones mentioned above), the problem with playing online is that you’ll sometimes run into lag, which can ruin the response time from your character or your opponent’s. We’re talking two people going at it, sitting side by side (or playing next to a cabinet), with real trash-talk going on as they pound away on each other.
Capcom 3/Super Street Fighter IV/Mortal Kombat: Ask any given fighting fan what the best way to take on opponents is in a fighting game, and most of them will agree wholeheartedly that the answer is “locally”. Pick up those four controllers (or more, if the game supports it) and have yourself a party. So, just to keep you on the safe side, we’ve got our favorite local co-op/multiplayer games. There are a number of games for the Xbox 360 that let you compete with (or work alongside) others without the need of an internet connection. Are you out of luck when it comes to playing multiplayer games with your friends? Hardly. But let’s say, just for the sake of argument, you didn’t have access to an online connection. After all, a great assortment of these games let you work alongside friends towards a common goal, whether it’s blowing the Locust Horde to hell or having a field day jamming out with friends. When you mention the throng of co-op games available for Xbox 360, you usually get giddy with excitement.
