So here's what I'm after. I was thinking back of the good old days of GTA 2 in multiplayer, where you could pick up weapons, yank people out of their cars, drive around or shoot everything or both etc. etc. I miss those days D: .

So does anybody know other games like this?

Example of GTA 2 in multiplayer:

Saints Row 3 is pretty much what you described, it's got a great co-op mode too.

I think he's talking about retro games, cause otherwise he could just play GTA IV :P

Minus the small fact that it isn't, you know, top down.



The closest thing to what you describe that I can think of is a little freeware multiplayer game called Subvein that I used to play a while back (I helped test the very first versions, it's come along way since then), it's actually made by a good friend of a friend of mine. I haven't played it for a while, but it does have an active community and it gets updated pretty regularly.

Here's a video:

If you are into sci fi....Space Pirates n Zombies is quite good. I got it during the Dec Steam sale and its pretty good. I've played it more than any other title recently.

Why not just play GTA2? :P

If a coop shooter would be accepable, I'd suggest Alien Swarm, quite fun with 3 other people. Not retro either...but oh well :P

Thanks chappies, it doesn't necessarily have to be retro but I seriously can't think of any non-top-down games that are NOT retro :xD: . I have to say Alias' suggested game looks scarily like what I was looking for, I'm definitely going to try that out :D . As to why not GTA2; I would, but it's impossible to get a game with someone on that :xD: . And I got this idea while playing Crimsonland, in which movement is controlled by the keyboard and the firing and turning around by the mouse; GTA2's keyboard-only controls are a bit outdated. So basically I was wondering if there were games that combined GTA2 and Crimsonland.
