Soul Calibur, Ready 2 Rumble and Unreal are easily the best that I've played.

Virtua Tennis 2k2 (The original is also good, but you get to play with ladies in the sequel)
Bomberman Online,
Dead or Alive 2,
Quake III Arena,
Chu Chu Rocket,
House Of the Dead 2/Confidential Mission (ONLY if you have 2 guns though).

As well as the 3 mentioned above.

I hope this helps :)

Vitua Tennis, Marvel Vs Capcom 1 & 2, Capcom Vs SNK 1 & 2, Unreal Tounament, Quake 3, DOA 2, Soul Calibur (really good fun if you both use a fishing rod controller), Sega Rally 2, MSR, Outrigger.
Duty is weightier than a mountain while death is as light as a feather.

For those who get really bored, try to figure out where the line above comes from. Put answers in here http://www.dcemulation.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=6188

I hate being referred to as the grammar man around here but....

Most Funnest isn't a correct phrase, Just Funnest :P

If you like fight games nothing beats DOA Tag matches where you can play with(2) 4 players. Powerstone2, and Toy Commander are a lot of fun for (2)4 players to.

True.. Beat em up games have higher replay value. But then theres shoot em up games (Confidential Mission, Outtrigger).

Above all, if there are winners for this category (as all DC games great in different perspectives) , i would say Soul Calibur should be among them.
i'm cool, especially when i want to be so..

The grafitti multiplayer in Tony Hawks 2 is awesome, possibly the best multiplayer fun I've ever had, on the DC.

My nephew and myself played this one weekend recently for the first time, and I don't think we ever got so good at a game so quickly before. The competition was intense - we spent about 4 hours glued to the sofa before realising what time it was!

Outtrigger, Propellear Arena, Worms World Party, Cool hearders demo, Quake III Arena, Toy Commander, Powerstone 2.

Those are like the best for 4 Player multiplayer.

If you play Millenium(Expendable) Soldier in FPS mode(it is a cheat) the game gets pretty hairy. Much fun.

I would add Chu Chu Rocket, dRxLax, Fire ProWrestling D, Armada and Virtua Tennis and while I don't usually like split-screen multiplayer games Looney Tunes Space Race is pretty damned fun.

A real good game to play is NHL2k2 if you like Icehockey. Played it for hours and it's way better than NHL2002 by EA in terms of gameplay. Ooga Booga might be overlooked by a lot but as a multiplayer game it can provide a nice couple of hours of good fun. Bust-A-Move 4 is freaking addicting, you have been warned ;)

PowerStone 2. Since last summer myself and 7 others (brothers, brother in-laws etc...) get together on a Sunday every three months and have PowerStone 2 tournaments. We each throw down $20. Who ever wins the tourney gets $160.00. The ages range from 35-19. Even the young guys are blown away by the mulitplayer action in this game.

Bomberman Online is truly one of the best, even without any friends.

Yes it is, but the the classic Bomberman games are way way better than Bomberman Online or any of the other 3D games in the series, except maybe for Bomberman Generations which everyone seems to like, but I haven't played yet.
