Alright folks, courtesy of our lockdown-life i've dusted off my old game consoles early (although the PS3 is the only one working - sigh) and set it up in the toy room for my lads. They're 6 and 3 years old (but really 16 and 13 I reckon) and i'm keen to get them into some basic games. They've been fighting over playing Flower but as it's a single player game the fights can get a bit heated over the controller. 

 

Does anyone have any recommendations of multiplayer games they can play together? I was thinking about something like Mario Kart, but for the PS network obviously. The Wii won't turn on, and there's no way I trust them with my Gameboy just yet. 

 

I'm happy to pay for games that will have some longevity but really they have to be 2 player until I can figure out some form of schedule...

 

Any tips/hints/thoughts?

All the Lego saga (Harry Potter, Star Wars, Batman, DC/Marvel Superhero,..) are good fun and you can get them for cheap

Is crash team racing on ps3? It’s on ps4. Probably closest to mario kart.

Depends the type of game you want. Adventure, racing . Dancing singing.

Crash Team Racing looks like a good start. Apparently it's on PS3 so that's good. I'll have a look on the PS Store. 

 

I tried one of the LEGO games earlier on my own and i'm not sure they're quite ready for them. They've never played any games before that require more than iPad tapping so want to start them out on something that's a very simple to get the hang of. I've got Sonic style platformers that I will get then started on individually but multiplayer is key for my sanity right now...

EB Games has a good range of PS3 games for sale. Unfortunately not available from all stores.

Do NOT get them Minecraft. My 2 kids get into absolutely massive fights when playing, it's incredible....  if they play any other game, they're fine.  Don't know what it is about MC that turns them.... :D

 

Mod Nation Racers is the only "Mario Kart" type game we have for the PS3, kids enjoy it.
