Two-player video game

A two-player video game is a video game played by just two players. This is distinct from a multiplayer video game which is played by more than two players,[1] and from a single-player video game, in which the player has no human opponents.

In video games, the nature of the two-player mode varies depending on the game. Two-player mode can have players cooperating in a team as in Final Fight, competing against one another as in Mortal Kombat, or playing independently like Mario (Player 1) and Luigi (Player 2) in Super Mario Bros. Most two-player games can also be played in single player mode.

Examples of two-player games include:
