I’ve no recommendations for you, but here’s Co-optimus’ list of Xbox games. When I filter for local co-op games rated E10, it shows 218 titles.

If you don’t mind beat-em-ups, TNNT: Shredder’s Revenge can be fun for up to 6 players.

I play this with the kids and it’s an absolute blast, yep.

Also, Nickelodeon All Star Brawl is a lot of fun.

Thanks all, I will take a look through them all.

Rayman Origins is currently on sale for 5 bucks. Some levels are in Rayman Legends but i would still recommend it, especially for that low price.

Only other game that comes to mind would be Toy Story 3.

Great thread! Every few months I have my nephews over and sometimes a friend or two and we always struggle a little to find some fun games, often end up with Lego. Which is great, but nothing but Lego gets tiresome, lmao.

You listed some really good ones.

I was hoping this year we’d get Party Animals but it seems it’s not ready yet.

Ah good shout RE Rayman, will pick that up shortly. Just checked and we have Toy Story 3 on the Wii (I didn’t realise the game was that old - makes me feel old now :rofl:).

Ah with two little ones in the house I’m either stepping on it or playing it virtually!

That one ‘escaped’ me :wink: - will also add it to the list thanks!

You’re welcome. As a fellow lover of co-op games, campaign co-op especially, I’ve found Co-optimus to be a great resource.

I’m a fan of couch multiplayer and while I regularly hosted 16 player split screen Halo LAN parties, few wanted to play random games. But I still noted games that supported 4-8 player local multiplayer (whether co-op or competitive).
