    Default 4 player games on PS2 Dreamcast Style (HELP!)

    So I still pull out my Dreamcast constantly for 4 player games. I have a PS2 with multitap but I can't find any games that compete with Dreamcasts library.

    Powerstone 2
    Chu Chu Rocket
    Gauntlet Legends
    San Fran Rush
    Bomberman
    Ooga Booga
    Gigaga Wing 2

    Man the list goes on. Is there anything comparable to this? I dont mind a bit of Japanese to get thru.
    My System History in order of purchase: Coleco Vision - Master System - Genesis - Game Gear - Sega CD - 32X - Saturn - Nomad - PS1 - Dreamcast - PS2 - DS - PS3 (60GB) - PSP - 360.

    That's because the Dreamcast library is incomparable and NOTHING can beat it!!!

    But in all honesty the Dreamcast (and N64) are some of the best systems available for 4 player gaming. The sheer variety of solid and original multi player games make them a blast to play with friends.

    It's very underrated but Out Trigger on the DC is an incredibly fun arcade style FPS and is pure mayhem with 4 players.

    Also if you can get a copy of Propeller Arena!!! That game is the most fun multi player game I have ever played!!! To bad it was never officially released

    As for PS2 though... I wish I could help you out but Dreamcast and N 64 are where it's at in my book.
    If a god is willing to prevent evil, but not able, then he is not omnipotent. If he is able, but not willing, then he must be malevolent. If he is both willing and able, then why is there evil? If he is neither able or willing then why call him a god?

    The lack of 4 controller ports on the PS2 was its only flaw.

    in my mind right behind the n64 the dc is the second best 4 player system. Son'ys systems have never struck me as very multiplayer friendly.

    I just bought one of those Buzz quiz game sets for my PS2 with the four-player buzzer controller. That's all I can think of right now. I think quiz games are always fun, even though you don't get the same kind of frenetic action you would with a game like Powerstone.
    Currently catching up on PSN, WiiWare, Wii U E-Shop and Xbox Live Arcade exclusives I missed.
