View Full Version : Worse multi-player ever

All the new games coming out seem to have really solid multi-player capabilities. So it got me wondering, which game do you feel had the worse multi-player system. It can be on-line, the lobby system, or co-op.

I'll start. Mine was PSI-OPs co-op mode. It was the worse thing ever thought of. One person controlled the movements while another person controlled the powers of the person. Just crazy, you would have to line the person up then tell your friend to use the power but if you moved it ruined it. Puzzle solving was a nightmare.

LOL! I forgot about that game :) The multi-player was poorly implemented, but I loved the single-player action. I really hope they come out with a sequel on the 360. The way they ended the game, it definitely looked like they were setting up a sequel.

Lego's star wars II - coop. The fact that the camera wouldn't zoom out nearly enough meant that both players had to stay next to each other at all times. Except at times when the game specifically required splitting up, this is a maddening annoyance since you were constantly getting pulled off cliffs or falling in holes either because the other person got to far ahead, or behind. Totally ruined an otherwise really cool game, it's literally caused fights between me and my girlfriend when we play(the only game I own that she'll play, btw)

True, that game rocked. It was so awesome to play a game based on those kind of powers instead of the traditional, loved the game, hated the co-op.

Black Hawk Down for the Xbox.. 50 people in a room lagging with very weak graphics (and by weak I mean PS1 graphics)

That was quite annoying, but the game was still VERY fun coop despite it and it was one of the few games I was able to play with my girlfriend that we'd actually both enjoy.

This might not be the worst but definitley the most dissapointing; co-op-HALO2. I basically had to play the game myself because the viewpoint you get with two people on the same screen is horrendous. You basically can't see 30% of your screen. I never understood why bungie made it that way when halo 1 was so great with co-op view point. I think they just wanted more people to buy xboxes cause there is no reason why they would make two people on one screen look that bad. Same for 4 player screen where you can't see whats happening cause of the red indicator flashing entirely over your screen when you get shot.

DEFINITLEY MOST DISSAPOINTING CO-OP

Oh yah Psi Op's, used the old Starsky and Hutch model. One drives and the other one shoots out the window coop. I prefer the choice of all games to allow coop local or online. A lot of 360 games only do coop online. Yeah split my screen, better then nothing, if there was a way to spawn games on a lan I'd buy to 360's but since the bogart that....

I dunno about co-op but as a single player, Psi-Ops was the TRUTH.
