What is the best 360 game for couples?

ast · 30-11-2006, 05:32 PM

I am looking for a game both my wife and I can enjoy at the same time. My wife is not into games, so it has to be something you can get into easily. The biggest difficulty is: she does not like violence. This eliminates a lot of games for xbox.

In summary, it needs:
- multiplayer (preferrably not against each other, but play as partners)
- peaceful (little violence)
- good graphic
- fun and addictive

I think Wii has more games that meet these requirements, but I want to avoid buying another console. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Tiger Woods 2007

My wife and I had the same problem. Not being into the Xbox things like football and games that took some quick button action to play were out. Tiger Woods was the answer. Easy to lean, not fast, and is very fun to play with someone else. Helps if they like golf, but not totally necessary. My wife really got into the whole "Build your golfer" stuff too. Spent hours adjusting her eyes/hair/etc. Just like real life!

Anyway, that is my vote. Good luck~

Gears of War on co-op!

Just kidding...

Marvel: Ultimate aliance would be a good pick.

DOA Xtreme2.
Its non violent, chock full o Ta-ta's for you (and maybe her), easy to play, addicting, and 2 player. Besides the Ta-Ta's, there are some gorgeous environments, that just look extravigant on an HDTV.

VIVA PINIATA!- Non violent, no Ta-Ta's, and i dont know if its 2 player.

I would agree with Eazy_D. The graphic is a little too much.

ast · 01-12-2006, 03:12 PM

Does anyone know if viva pinata is multiplayer?

ast · 01-12-2006, 03:15 PM

FlyACl, Tiger Woods game is an interesting idea. Unfortunately, my wife 'hate' golfing. She doesn't even like me watching it on TV. I don't think she would go for that. But, I will probably get it just for myself

I would highly suggest you check out all the games on XBLA, because there are ample that my wife likes to play.

Also, the Pocket Bike Racer game from BurgerKing and the Big Bumpin' are fun co-op games -- that, and they only cost $3.99. Pocket Bike Racer is basically a Mario Cart knock-off. If you are really interested in Co-op games, try the New Fusion Frenzy 2 game (I believe the first one is back-compat with the 360 as well). Those would be your best bets ATM.

my wife buys the DOAX games for herself.. ud be supprised just how many girls might like the ta-ta's.

Besides those, its actually a decently fun game and one w/ very detailed environments to boot. You can control the amount of giggle in the boobies if you wish to tone it down. that way you can get into playing the game more if you find them...distracting

If she likes driving games, try Test drive Unlimited.

NVR 20 · 02-12-2006, 01:27 PM

Try geometry wars for some good fun. Maybe Table tennis too.

remixFA · 02-12-2006, 04:27 PM

I didn't choose my wife for her taste in video games. But, it would have been nice. I envy you, remix

Lego Star Wars II. Awsome game for co-op and its hilarious. Even if you and your wife don't like star wars (which I don't like it much) you will still have a good time with it I think

Papst_Smear · 03-12-2006, 12:15 PM

Only game I can get my old lady to play, well the only one she wants to play is Woods 07. She's pretty good at it as well.
