Sure, you could play with an AI-controlled partner. But that would be wasting the campaign — so grab a friend before you tackle this fantastic title. These puzzles require teamwork and even more outside-of-the-box thinking than single-player puzzles. Communication is vital to success, as is trying out every single idea — no matter how silly. You might just find your solution in the weirdest of places! I say Newgrounds-like because, unlike Alien Hominid, Castle Crashers was explicitly developed for consoles from the get-go.
This exhilarating indie love letter to classic beat-em-ups was designed to be played by an entire squad. The game builds on the action-oriented changes introduced by Resident Evil 4 and takes it to the next level by introducing Sheva — a skilled partner for Chris who brought co-op to the series. While long-time fans took to the internet to criticize the Hollywood-esque storytelling and camerawork, I only cared about getting the higher scores in the Mercenaries with my 2P.
The Gold Edition includes tons of DLC, including new Mercenaries maps, costumes for each character, and two new story episodes. Every one of the four Gears of War games on the Xbox offers a solid co-op experience with tons of testosterone and flying lead — but Gears of War 2 takes the cake thanks to its fantastic storytelling. The story is intensely emotional, and even the most rugged manly men feel a knot in their throat at least a couple of times as Marcus and Dom explore Locust territory.
Yes, I'm a fanboy. This game takes place right after Modern Warfare 2 , and similarly follows Task Force They must work together to hunt down the Russian terrorist—and main antagonist of the last game—Vladimir Makarov. The introduction of this series definitely boosted Xbox sales.
The game has great co-op campaigns, heavily influenced by military and science fiction. An interstellar war has broken out between humanity and the Covenant, a religious alliance of aliens. In the main campaign, it's up to you, Master Chief, to stop them. Combat Evolved is the first in the series, and it is still one of the best video games of all time.
These two games make up the fantastic conclusion to the story set into motion in Combat Evolved. In both titles, you return as Master Chief to thwart the Covenant, an alliance of hostile aliens.
You can play through the regular campaign with a partner via split-screen. Halo 4 also has a four-player, split-screen option for some modes, and it is definitely the best co-op gameplay in the series in my opinion. Halo 3 includes new weapons, a variety of vehicles to operate, and a new class of gear called "equipment. Here's another first-person shooter game, similar to Combat Evolved , since it is the direct prequel to the game.
Instead of Master Chief, you play as Noble Six, an elite supersoldier. Six's must fight against an alien invasion of the human colony, Reach. Aside from a fresh plot, his game has a great new addition: Firefight. In this mode, players take on waves of enemies, and you can customize the waves to your liking. There is also Firefight Versus, in which your Elite team works together to score points against a Spartan team.
Work together to defeat the horde of infected in the "Left 4 Dead" series. These games feature great zombie-killing fun. There are six campaigns, and the modes available are:. When playing split-screen, two players can work together. In versus mode, four people can play at the same time.
This is a must-have for all zombie fans. Join your friends to play as survivors in a post-apocalyptic world. Fights hordes of those infected by the "Green Flu. Left 4 Dead 2 is a sequel that includes a bonus mode scavenge and five new campaigns.
Each campaign includes three to five separate levels, all revolving around survivors trying to get to safe zones and away from the diseased. Each player can carry one each of five types of equipment: primary weapons, secondary weapons, throwable weapons, major medical supplies, and minor medical supplies. This is a lower-budget series made by a Japanese company, but it is still a lot of fun.
The series revolves around the Earth Defense Force who protects the planet from potentially hostile alien beings. In this title, your task is to take the role of The Earth Defense Force and protect Detroit with help from bio-engineered terrestrial insects.
Your player goes by "Lightning Alpha," and they must lead an elite team of fighters, known as "Strike Force Lightning. Insect Armageddon is the fourth game in the Earth Defense Force series, and the first one to enable online co-op play. It includes a six-player survival mode where you and a squad of EDF soldiers must hold off waves of murderous insects. Dungeon Defenders is a very fun strategy Xbox Live Arcade series. With help from a band of wizards and warriors, you control a hero that fights to protect crystals from waves of enemies goblins, orcs, kobolds, ogres, and wyverns.
Each level consists of five waves, followed by a final wave with a boss battle. To protect your crystals, you must create, maintain, and upgrade your defenses. Up to four players can play split-screen, and the difficulty and specifications are decided by the hosting player.
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light While Eidos and Square Enix have moved on to a new version of Lara Croft, which by the way has been great, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light was a damn good co-op game that came out after the old brand of Lara was basically dead and buried. Borderlands The original Borderlands was a surprise hit that is best experienced as a co-op game to help get through what is a pretty bland story.
Although the sequel improved just about everything from the first game, the classes are different between the two games, and offer up a varied experience. It featured better DLC support, new classes and guns, and a much more interesting story with one of last gen's best new villains. And, of course, it introduced the incredibly popular Zombies mode that has now become a series staple. It's a simple to learn but still challenging side-scrolling beat-'em-up with a striking art style and a great sense of humor.
Whether you go for the original version, or the remastered edition on Xbox One, you're in for a good time if you have a few buddies to play with. Gears of War The original Gears of War blew everyone away when it released toward the beginning of last-generation.
It was a killer app that helped set the Xbox up for a successful generation. Gears of War 2 Gears of War 2 kept the original's excellent co-op campaign, and threw in the then innovative, and now industry standard, horde mode. It upped the ante with a four player co-op campaign, as well another iteration of horde mode. It doesn't try to be polished or great, but if you just want a totally insane co-op experience to just screw around with a friend, EDF: Insect Armageddon is a memorable experience for the silliest reasons.
Bungie's last numbered Halo game, the series classic co-op campaign is there and just as good as you remember. Halo 3: ODST Halo 3: ODST not only added a co-op campaign that was the first to not include Master Chief, but also introduced Firefight, a beloved co-op horde mode that was arguably more popular than the rest of the game.
ME3's co-op was and still is great. Part of its success was the excellent co-op that forced players to rethink how they approach the game's teleporting puzzles with a friend. I'm pretty sure everyone knows what Minecraft is, and whether it's for them or not by now. In case you've overlooked its potential as a fun co-op game, well Dark Souls Dark Souls, which is getting remastered soon by the way at the time of this writing, built on the very light co-op features seen in Demon's Souls.
The ability to drop down and rappel down a building, lean up against walls to surprise an enemy and the usage of gadgets truly made you feel like a Rainbow operative.
Beyond that, the inclusion of the famous Terrorist Hunt mode, as well as being able to play through the full story with a friend, Rainbows Six Vegas was made for cooperative play.
To this day, Resident Evil 5 is divisive among fans. If you can set aside that this is more of a shooter and less of a survival-horror game, you should have fun, especially with a friend.
Set in Kijuju, Africa, Resident Evil 5 takes all the elements from its predecessor, Resident Evil 4, and doubles down on the action sequences.
Love it or hate it, there is no denying the impact Minecraft had on the industry. However you play it, in creative or survival mode, having a friend to help adds to the fun. People have been working on Minecraft creations for a while. Because the gameplay is so similar, we will be lumping Guitar Hero and Rock Band together for this entry. What a revolutionary and interesting franchise that brought people together and helped fans discover new music.
During the era, there were few party games that were as popular as Guitar Hero and Rock Band. There was something fascinating about playing through a song on a virtual stage with a group of friends. However, these games allowed friends to share their love of music and do so in a casual way, all while simulating the experience of being in a band. Depending on your preference, you can play competitively, or cooperatively in the popular zombies mode.
Particularly with the zombie mode, surviving wave after wave with a friend is some of the most nerve-racking fun the series has to offer. Whichever you choose, this is an awesome series to play locally with a friend.
It was also unusual to see a Blizzard game on the system, fully playable in local co-op. And it worked as well as one would hope. This is a game with lots of replay value that is fun to play with friends. Sure, it has its complexity, but Diablo 3 is a game that attracts casual, as well as more experienced players. The stealth genre did not get much traction till a few years back.
We definitely need more stealth games like this, because this was a ton of fun back in the day. Marvel Ultimate Alliance was fantastic! The culmination of so many Marvel characters was enough to attract almost anyone, especially with the inclusion of local cooperative play. Boasting over 20 characters like Wolverine, Black Panther, and Deadpool, players were able to dungeon crawl and beat up bad guys with up to three other players!
This game also has a lot in common with Diablo, with the isometric camera view, accessibility, and simple to understand the gameplay, but with identifiable characters that kids love. What I love about this game is that it covers a wide variety of Marvel characters ranging from lesser-known bad guys like Fin Fang Foom to heavy hitters like Spider-Man.
What Xbox list would be complete without Halo 3? The game was such a big deal when it came out and for good reason.
