What games are easier with people helping you?

What games are easier when you have an extra set of eyes there. The obviousl one that comes to mind is The Great Waldo Search for the NES are there any other games that are easier with another persons help?

old rpg dungeon games, like phantasy star on sms. You can have the second person doing a graph paper map for you as you go through.

My little sister finds it easier to play Katamari Damacy when I'm around. She concentrates on the rolling, and I tell her where to go, since I rarely get lost anywhere thanks to a good sense of direction.

Point and clicks are alwasy good with two people. The more people working out the puzzles the better.

The Zelda games, especially from the N64games onwards. Much easier to complete the dungeons with additional eyes...

Well back in the day, and long before the advent of Cyberspace walkthroughs (though I don't use them even now), my best friend and I more or less challenged EVERY game together. One of us would be playing a game and the other was just hanging out, but keeping a keen watch over the way the other was playing, the enviroment etc. Figuring out techniques to defeat bosses in Ninja Gaiden 1-3, and figuring out the NES "Metal Gear" jungle maze were figured out by ourselves without the benefit of Jeff Rovin or Nintendo Power. Today I'm sure this would be the same, only I rarely get to game with a 2nd Player or even a crew. Too many responsibilities and not enough time. :bawling:

any SHMUP is easier with an additional player

agreed with RPG's too... one person can "drive" while the other one maps, and you can switch jobs when you get tired of your task... makes the really long RPG's go by alot faster, and two people get to enjoy the story together

I just remembered another it helps to have an extra set of eyes when you are doing the word puzzles in english class in Bully.

For me, it'd have to be the multi-player beat'em ups, like X-Men, Knights of the Round, and those Dungeons and Dragons arcade games.

How about Gyromite with a friend working the door controls instead of R.O.B.? :)

[Darth Sensei]

Lately, Gears of War comes to mind.

Duck Hunt. They can steer the duck :P

I'm going to have to go with beat em ups, shmups, and dungeon crawlers. Shmupping is much easier especially if you have one where point prizes are dropped. Then the extra person can destroy ships while you concentrate on collectiong the rewards.
