You must wait 15 seconds before rebooting your computer
...I decided that since this was a hardware question, the best place to turn was to the Geek Squad...
Yeah I stopped reading right there.
Yeah, I agree with you on that, which is why I didn't start out by asking for "rpg", instead I want a "hack-n-slash". But thanks everyone for your suggestions!
Gauntlet might be a good choice... but *ugh* (http://ps2.ign.com/dor/objects/14940/gauntlet-dark-legacy/images/gdl_10.html). My phone looks better. lol
EDIT: What about other platforms? Xbox, ps3, wii - anything like these games with 4 players (on a single console)?
Got a few friends that like to come over for some hack & slash goodness. Already played Norrath 1 + 2. I can't find anything else for PS2 that's 4-player. I saw Marvel Ultimate Alliance was also 4-player, but I'd like to keep it more daggers and less laser beams. My first thought was BG2...
