Recommend me and Xbox Hack And Slash

_CreeD_

Hi folks,

Da missus has become hooked on 3rd person hack'n'slashers, like Dynasty Warriors 3/4 and now Samurai Warriors. Soooo, do you have any suggestions on what to try next - 3rd person, not too intense (so Ninja Gaiden's out) preferably co-op but that's not necessary? Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 + 2 are both pretty much Diablo in 3D and they both have co-op so I guess they're what you're looking for. Pity about Ninja Gaiden though, you don't know what you're missing out on

those EA Lord Of The Rings hack'n'slashers are pretty decent. dunno if theyre on the Xbox tho....


any of the gauntlet games will do ya, dunno if theres any of them on the Xbrick either....

Yep, both Lord of the Rings games are very, very good. If she's keen on Dynasty Warriors, you might want to suggest Crimson Sea, which is the same kind of game and made by the same people but has a futuristic sci-fi setting. Very good it is too. But better than all of those is the brilliant Otogi.

I've LOTR: Return of the King, and I'd recommend it. It's 3rd person, has co-op, and is easy enough to pick up and get going with.

Ditto, LOTR Return of the King is great hack n' slash fun for 2 players. Ity is gone into the Classic range too, so you should be able to pick it up for under €30.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm going to try and track down Crimson Sea first I think, then onto LOTR.
We played BG 1 and 2, I wasn't crazy about 1 but 2 was excellent.

I had a look at Otogi a while back and it might be a bit fast for her (and no this isn't a 'My friend has this problem' thread ) but I'll rent it again and see.

Again many thanks folks.

I found Enclave to be fairly decent to hack away a few hours-dunno if its co-op though.

Spawn: Armaggedon is a pretty tasty slash-your-way-through-everything kind of a game, got it meself there a while ago and it's amazing!
