Games for 2+ Players on 1 Computer?

While it's neither sports or racing you could try worms. A great game to play with friends

Total War Medieval 2-expansion Pack, has a hotseat mode, which allows to play from 2-5 players in a single PC.

Mashed is a pretty good racing game like micro machines for up to 4 players

Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Beat Em up style adventure RPG game reminiscent of Fighting Force games that you can level up and and gain new powers to use on your heroes. I believe there are also X-men Legends games with the same type of gameplay.

Risk 2!!!!

[#63ff00][#009b63]Hey, I was looking for the same thing for my media center Vista PC. If you are still on XP there are a wealth of games you can play, but with vista you are a bit more limited.

On vista I use:
- You Don't Know Jack 1-5 (no controllers needed - 3 players max)
- Spiderman Friend or Foe
- Monopoly 2008
- Little Fighter (2d side scrolling/fighting game - 4 players and free)
- Tiger Woods

On XP I had: (these are older games, but still very fun)
- Need for Speed
- Roll Cage
- Deathtrack Racing (racings, power-ups, missles, fun)
- Tony Hawk 2

If you find any other good 2 player games let me know.

Most turn-based games will have a hotseat mode, but playing hotseat Civ4 might be a bit long...

Sports games will usually support 2+ players if you have enough controllers (using the keyboard is horrid) - Pro Evo is excellent for footie.

I can also recommend Worms - works very well as a hotseat game, and you can have lots of teams (up to 8 at once I think).

need for speed: hot pursuit, but that's a little outdated by now...

Host a LAN party! Of course your friends will have to drag their computers to your house.

With just 2,4, 6 or 8 friends you can play numerous games. If cost is a problem there are a lot of older games out there that are still fun for groups and have very low computer requirements. Warcraft II or III is great. Starcraft, Diablo I or II, or Battlefield 1942 with numerous mods never gets old.

Hi there! Back when we didn't have 2 laptops, not the courage to install a video game on the company laptop , I played the Chronicles of Narnia (the first one, don't remember the exact name) with my husband and we had lots of fun. Try it out and if you find similar games, pls post them here, I'll be checking this site for (good) news, hopefully!

Thanks, Purplerat, although it seems a bit too scary 4 me, I'm sure my hubby will give the L4D a shot

Burnout Paradise is a good'n that I play with my sister every once and a while, it's "party mode" is a lot of fun... Street Fighter 4 recently was released for PC, which is awesome and the Guilty Gear Series is another good fighter... I currently have Guilty Gear X2 #Reloaded installed right now, and am certain that it has 2 player capabilities on the same compie. I guess I haven't played more than 10 minutes of it, but GRID looked like a good racer, and I wouldn't be surprised if you could do split screen or trade off in that game, don't take my word for it, though... Enjoy, I suppose!
