Best party games for 4players?

[Thermoptic]

Thanks for the recommendations!

Try to focus on simple games that are fun and easy for noobs. If you have invited some friends over to play some games and drink bear its better to have more simple games like Bomberman or WarioWare that anyone can play instantly.
Sure GoldenEye or Halo are great 4 player games, but they are too hard for new people.

And yes as it is a party its better with FUN games, like WarioWare that creates all kinds of crazy situations.

After you've unlocked all the characters, Guardian Heroes on Sega Saturn can be pretty funny.

Guantlet Legends is kinda the industry standard. Also, pretty much any Beat 'Em Up that supports 4-players is gonna be fun. Look into OpenBOR on consoles.

Marvel vs Capcom for the Dreamcast had a 4-Player mode.

VERY surprised no one mention Timesplitters yet. It's made by many of the folks that made Goldeneye 007, except that they injected the gameplay with absolutely weird humor. It's perfect.

Also, Geist.

Ooga Booga on Dreamcast is insane fun.

Super Monkey Ball 2 is a great party game, but isn't funny.

Aren't the Mario Party games known for being so easy they are not for people over the age of 1?

Any Bomberman game capable of at least 4 players makes for an incredible, cut throat experience. I'm pretty sure the N64 has a decent version.

Also, up to 10 human players at the same time with Saturn Bomberman. Good luck finding a multitap

either way, it's still a 4 player party game.
