At a friend's house.

The four of us played some 4 player "NHL Hitz 2002."

I used one of the big clunky XBOX controllers, not the smaller slimmer ones.

As I was playing, the thought running through my head most was, damn are these buttons too close together. My thumb would try to hit one button and it ends up hitting another nearby. It took me a while to get used to. But overall I was kinda annoyed by it.

Still, I didn't let it affect it too much how I was having fun.

Hitz 2002 was not bad, especially playing with 3 other old friends. It might not be the same as Super Bomberman or even NBA Jam (times change) but playing Hitz 2002 was pretty fun. Scores are high, action is non-stop, and there's little time to even breathe!

I wouldn't play it alone. But with 3 other friends it's not shabby.

Overall, from that one game, it seems to me the XBox is not a bad "multiplayer system." I can't comment how its single playing trips are.

Multiplayer + Halo = nirvana

If you have friends to play with then pick up Halo and go head-to-head, it is one of the greatest multiplayer games on a console.

I have to agree with Joe here. Halo + LAN = long hours of gaming bliss and shit talking. Sometimes the sessions at Loopz' house would go to the wee hours of the mornin. :D

You don't have an xbox so you wouldn't know. And the xbox has the built in NIC, so you dont have to worry about not having one and having to go spend that extra $5 for one for your pc :p And it's just plug and play so you dont have to set up everything with wizards and stuff. Xbox weighs less than a pc tower too (surprisingly) so it's easier to take around.

All you ever do is crash a party when you're not invited. You never played an XBOX lan.

If a PC lan is better, it should be since it costs ten times more for a 10 player Halofest.

Topic at hand: Steve, try Hitz 2003, it's much better. Use a Controller S, this corrects the size and button problems of the original controller.
