The Best Xbox Multiplayer Games

Local Xbox multiplayer games vs. Xbox Live.

When you’re shopping for Xbox 360 multiplayer games, consider a very important distinction; local multiplayer games, and online Xbox multiplayer games via Xbox Live. Xbox Live is an online service that enables you to play Xbox multiplayer games with other people online, but it has two membership levels. The free membership level, Silver, does not allow you to play games online, but the paid membership, Gold, does enable you to play with people online. Make sure you know whether the online mode is local or via Xbox Live when you’re shopping for Xbox multiplayer games.

The LEGO games series are among the best local Xbox multiplayer games.

They’re action games. They’re LEGOs. They include some of the most awesome characters and universes of all times; LEGO Indiana Jones, LEGO Star Wars, and LEGO Batman. There’s no reason not to love the LEGO game series, and they’re some of the most popular Xbox multiplayer games out there. Local multiplayer game play means you don’t have to have Xbox Live, but you can’t play online. If you’re looking for something a little more engaging, nostalgic and humorous, go for the LEGO series.

Rock Band ranks among the top of Xbox multiplayer games both online and offline.

Rock Band 1 and 2 top the charts for local Xbox multiplayer games and online games alike. Rock Band is the most fun when you’re playing with friends in your own home, and it makes for a rockin’ good party game. Various online modes enable you to compete against other bands online, or play cooperatively with other people in online quick play. With the added customization of downloadable content, and truly engaging gameplay in the form of ‘playing’ musical instruments such as drums and guitar, Rock Band is among the stellar Xbox multiplayer games and is the ideal party game go-to.

No Xbox multiplayer games list would be complete without the obligatory shooter: Call of Duty 4.

Call of Duty 4 has a woefully short single-player campaign, but more than makes up for it with an engaging and compelling online campaign mode. You play online via Xbox Live, so this is one of the Xbox multiplayer games that requires Xbox Live Gold membership. Fortunately, the ability to play cooperatively or competitively with up to 18 different players in this stand-out shooter is enough to lure many gamers into investing in the Gold membership. If you’re a first-person shooter fan, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a must-have for your list of Xbox multiplayer games.

Enjoy racing games? Add Burnout Paradise to your list of Xbox multiplayer games must-haves.
While Burnout Paradise boasts awesome single-player gameplay, it also features an online gameplay mode that will keep you coming back for more again and again. You can play with anywhere from 2-8 players via Xbox Live’s Gold membership, and the game host can set races with start and end points anywhere in the city. Burnout Paradise’s open game world creates a truly unique racing game, and in traditional Burnout style, you get as much opportunity as you like to cause massive damage and wreak havoc.
