2player games like double dragon/contra/.. for ps2?

What are some good 2player games for ps2 that are similar to these games:

Streets of rage
final fight
mortal kombat shaolin monks
contra


thanks :rambo:

 

There's Contra Shattered Soldier for PS2, and it's tough as nails.
There's also Neo-Contra, which has its fun moments.


I know more about shooters, though.
If you're into imported games, get Raiden 3 and Mushihime Sama, which are good shooters. Shikigami no Shiro is good as well, and very cheaply available this side of the ocean. Not 100% similar to what you request, but certainly good 2 player fun.

And, of course, you can never go wrong with Metal Slug.

 

you get varrying degrees of fun though with the selection of the appropriate Metal Slug number/title The first and second ones were by far superior than the rest, for me

 

Gekido: Urban Fighters. That's a PSX game though so graphics are shitty compared to PS2 graphics.

 

I had no idea there was a Raiden 3 or that is was on PS2, but I looked it up and apparently it was released stateside as well.
