Sportsfriends

[b]Games are really great, but as a PC user, you can only play 3 out of 4 of them right off the bat.[/b] It dwindles to only 2 out of 4 if you have anything less than 4 players. [b]The biggest problem with this is the lack of 3 player support. Its either 2 or 4, and nothing in between.[/b] A shame, really.

Sportsfriends has been the subject of significant hype for some time, this pc port is quite welcome. Sportsfriends is by design a local couch multiplayer game. Get a HDMI cable, a tv and some controllers to get the most enjoyment out of it. The modes are 1v1 and 2v2, so it doesnt support odd numbers of players. Sportsfriends offers a suit of games - all of which would be worth buying in their own right. BaraBariBall is a volleyball/platform fighter hybrid. You score points by having the ball sink in the water on your color coded side of the screen. Points are lost when you yourself die. Your fighters can ahve a maximum of 7 spirit balls floating around them, which quickly regenerate when on the ground. One ball is consumed with each jump, and they can also be used for power throws or power attacks. Super pole riders has a ball on a rope with two goals at either end. Each player is given a pole vaulting pole - the pole can be used to hit the ball slightly, propel yourself for a powe...

There should be a disclaimer for people purchasing this on PC. It should be written at that top that this will not work with just a keyboard. I don't play games very often, so I never even thought that it would require the use of a seperate controller. The game was very fun on PS4, but I'm very disapointed that I spent $15 and can't play it.

I absolutely loved this game when I got it on the PS3. When I found out that it was coming out for Steam, I didn't know if it would support Linux or if JS Joust would be supported, since it relies on the PS Move controllers. To my delight, I can play on Linux all I like, and it is in fact one of the superior versions, since Windows' bluetooth support prevent JS Joust from working (they tried, bless them) on that platform. Don't get me wrong, though, the game is worth buying for most of these games, Joust just happens to be the most physical, and therefore, the most novel in the collection of local multiplayer games.

Video gaming at its best.

Found at Magfest and love it all.

Super Pole Riders! My god, that's hilarious! I randomly bought this game when visiting a friend and we were looking for a local co-op game to play on the TV, and by far Super Pole Riders is instantly fun, no one who I made try this didn't break down laughing during this, it's just fun! But definitely get some controllers! and I really wish this had more games on the same level as SPR.

WHY I CAN NOT USE XBOX CONTROLLER???

This game is worth maybe 2$. Basically it's 2 mini games that aren't that great. You're looking at maybe an hour max of playtime.

Best couch game. 10/10 Must buy
