I just got my Multitap today. Now I need a good game to go along with it, any suggestions?

Champions of Norrath. 1-4 player Gauntlet/Diablo style dungeon crawler.

Twisted Metal Black. 1-4 player vehicular combat. An oldie, but a goodie. You should be able to find it cheap.

You don’t need a multitap for it (it’s 2 players max) but Burnout 2 is one of THE best games to play with other people.

An Amazon user suggests Gauntlet Dark Legacy, NBA LIVE 2002, NHL 2002, Madden 2002, TimeSplitters, Quake 3 Arena - Revolution, ATV Off Road, Unreal Tournament, and DOA2.

Well, it’s only two-player, but the **Lord of the Rings: Return of the King** is a blast with two people.

Seconded for Champion’s of Norath as a roleplay 1-4 player game.  
If you like footie get Winning eleven 7 (or Winning Eleven 6 if you are hard pressed for cash).  
Sorry **Jeff** but that Amazon review must be very old (it suggests 2002 versions of games that are now in the 2005 version) Gauntelt Dark Legacy, and Timesplitters 2 are still good though.

I don’t know much abuot PS2 games but the current versions should work and there’d be no need to worry about any “catch up” crap with the AI less involved.

Pac-Man Fever.

Believe me, the day will come when you’ll be _aching_ for something mindless 'n fun. I can’t think of a better multiplayer PS2 game in that category.
