besides halo... can anyone recommend some good multiplayer xbox games? i'm not looking for anything that requires xb live, or anything involving balls (football, baseball, basketball, etc).

PGR1 has an extreme learning/difficulty curve. PGR2 addressed that problem. It's not like in PGR1 at all. Get PGR2 and throw away PGR1.

All the EA sports games I've played so far are REALLY fun. I've played; Tiger Woods 04, NHL 04, NBA 04, FIFA 04, Madden 04, NCAA b-ball and football 04. All are great. Oddly enough I think the NHL game was one of the better ones, and I had NEVER watched hockey before I played it.

Fuzion Frenzy is a great multiplayer party game (mini-games).

TOCA Race Driver 2 is comparable to PGR2... I bought it for the PC and it's awesome.

This game has limited use. Forget the one player mode. I would rather make a 200 foot bungee jump with a 204 foot bungee cord. As for the multiplayer mode, it might not be bad if one night you and your buds wanna order a pizza, huddle around the T.V. and play minigames all night.

ouch! hehe...

Only multiplayer over Live, but it's freaking great. Also Crimson Skies is great, and Burnout 2 for two player head to head racing.

Speaking of Halo.. I would be willing to challenge anyone for any ammount of money at Halo!!! I love that game. I have been in a few tournaments and won them. Im sponsered by GameStop! Just thought I would throw that out there. A good multiplayer game for XBOX is Rainbow Six!!! On XBOX Live it is incredable. Or even better in my oppinion, NBA Inside Drive 2004. Game play is unreal in that game even on XBOX live!!!
