My wife and I love to play co-op RPGs, and we have gotten a lot (A LOT) of mileage out of a few games that we love. First there was Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and its sequel BG: DA 2 which cleaned up some of the game-play of the first and added a few new character options. We were SUPER excited to learn that the original design team went over to another company and came out with a near-clone of the original game, Champions of Norrath and its sequel Champions: Return to Arms which use the same game-play engine as Dark Alliance. We have played all of these games over and over so many times that we know every level backwards and forwards, but it is still fun for us to try out new two-person party combos.
We have been hoping against hope that there would be a sequel released for either of these franchises, but it has now been five years or more and no luck. I recently upgraded to the PS3, and I’m looking for new games to try. If anyone is familiar with the games that I mentioned and can recommend something in the same vein, it would be greatly appreciated. Or even if you are not familiar with those titles, any recommendations for high-quality two-player hack-n-slash-type RPGs for the PS3 or PS2 would be awesome.
(Honorable Mention because it’s only one-player: The Bard’s Tale is just about the funniest, raunchiest version of this particular style of RPG game that you will EVER come across. Highly recommended.)
