This generation's best co-op games.

Ok, everyone knows that Super Mario Galaxy 2 was a triumph, losing none of its predecessor's inventiveness whilst adding a new twist in the form of co-op, but if we’re entirely truthful, we have to admit to being a little bit underwhelmed. Co-op should genuinely enrich a game, either by allowing you to share the spectacle or by adding an extra dimension to the gameplay or game mechanics. With that in mind, we at Megabits have wracked our brains and assembled our list of the ten best co-op games, the ones that, unlike SMG2, didn’t fall swiftly by the wayside.

What an uncalled for attack at SMG2!

What's more glaring is the lack of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, especially considering it's one of the highest-selling and most-played co-op games in the world.

Little Big Planet was better.It did the 4 player co op/competition first and has 2.7 million user made levels,so I'm still playing it with my 6 year old.It also handles like it was designed with 4 player in mind with better camera and co op areas than Super Mario bros Wii(which I did like by the way).

Well everybody certainly has there own opinions, i personally found LBP boring compared to mario. But i also do not personally like RPG's, i just prefer playing with my reactions and instincts (more of a skill player than a thinking one). So i guess it depends on the person.

I just cannot believe super mario bros. is not on this list lol

Ive had many great nights playing 4 player co op with that game.

... it's the perfect game to ease non-gamers into gaming. My girlfriend isn't much of a gamer, but she really enjoys that game, and I enjoy it alongside with her.

Gears of War 2 was a great game, but IMO Borderlands had the better co-op experience and was pretty much built for co-op gameplay. Good list none the less, I would scrap Lost Planet 2 though.

EDIT: That's kinda odd you mention that because my GF isn't a gamer but she played Borderlands with me, and even my cousins wife hates video games but she loved playing Borderlands lol. I almost past on this game as well, but after watching a few video reviews I said screw it and pre-ordered it. I've spent countless amount of hours on Borderlands and I don't regret it at all, and the Secret Armory of General Knoxx is the best so I think you will enjoy that one.

My wife, not the biggest gamer, has been hooked on Borderlands with me and it's been a blast. Before, she used to only get interested in the old, co-op dungeon crawls like Dark Alliance or Champions of Norrath. I think it was the loot that kept her coming back. Eventually she got into RE5 and Gears of War co-op because I think the story was enough to keep her interested. Now with Borderlands, I'm sure it's just a loot thing again. Not that I'm complaining. We finished our first play thru and just finished the Zombie Island of Dr. Ned last night. The Secret Armory of General Knoxx is up next!

I didn't think Borderlands was a co-op game at first, now I'm having an absolute blast. Can't believe I almost missed out on this game.

omi25p5753d ago

gears of war? uncharted? rainbow six vegas 1? all better than lost planet

omi25p5753d ago

uncharted coop story and survival is good, depending on if you can get in a game without someone disconnecting

So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.

Capcom's willingness to invest in experiments and scrap them sets them apart form many other developers (Nintendo have a similar methodology). Far too often companies push a game setting or game mechanic that is just not that good and the final product is middling or poor.

I mean 0, 1 and Code Veronica should be way before we get into 5 or 6.

Darkseeker125d ago

5 and 6 are so bad that even Capcom want to pretend they don't exist.

Levii_92125d ago

Dude Code Veronica is bad too but RE5 and 6 were mega successful and to me it makes much more sense for Capcom to do them instead. Nobody cares about Code Veronica except niche fixed camera era RE fans, i bet most modern RE fans probably don't know Code Veronica even exists. Based on all that i don't believe CV remake is coming but we will see i guess.

MehmetAlperTR125d ago (Edited 125d ago )

Actually RE5-6 was not Classic RE game.. They are not even Survival Horror game.. They are just an action game with coop and named by RE... And for me RE Code Veronica was masterpiece.. I remembered the first time i played it in Dreamcast.. It was absouletly excellent game. And specially for RE6.. I was quit from game after the camera shakes when Leon's kick to zombies.. There's a video about RE6 and they are telling the truth about that shitty game https://www.youtube.com/wat... here it is.. Enjoy it..

Neonridr125d ago

people are DYING for a Code Veronica Remake. Not sure who you are talking to, but the die-hard RE fans of the series are very familiar with every entry. That's what it means to be called a die-hard fan.

neutralgamer1992124d ago

Levii

I am sure If they were to remake CV that it 2ont have fixed camera angle. I hope whatever they do they take their time like RE2/4 remakes and not rushed with cut content like RE3 remake

Before they should do RE5 they should go back and remake earlier games. In a perfect scenario we would get CV and RE/Zero before RE5/6

Tapani124d ago

Code Veronica on Dreamcast was absolutely AWESOME.

It makes more sense for them to remake earlier games like Code Veronica. RE5 is a good game though - it's not THAT different from RE4.

RE5 just doesn't really need to remade in general. The co-op element makes it tricky - you'd probably add more moments where Chris is by himself enhance the horror but some would want co-op to stay.

thesoftware730125d ago

RE:5 Was and still is a great game, with hands down the best Merc mode, that I still play from time to time with my brother.

RE:6 blah, I agree, it was awful.

Redgrave124d ago

Other than Code Veronica, 6 is the one ai want to see remade the most only because pretty much everything has to be redone; can't streamline that hot mess.

DarXyde124d ago

6 was pretty bad. 5 just tried too hard in being an action-oriented RE4.

In some fairness to Capcom, 5 was the first Resident Evil on then-new hardware for them (X360 and PS3). And it was pretty damn hard to follow up RE4.

Imagine everyone's surprise when EA of all companies dropped Dead Space.

Alos88124d ago

The first half of 5 wouldn't be too hard to do in the more grounded style the remakes have gone for, but the second half gets pretty silly and uncomfortable at parts.
6 is a wash. You'd have to basically make a whole new game to salvage that one at this point.

__y2jb124d ago

6 is garbage. 5 is excellent.

Hopefully if and when they do a RE5 remake, they give it the RE3 remake treatment, because this is certainly one title that I don't want a faithful remake of.

gerbintosh124d ago

I need a Parasite Eve remake
