Aeolis Tournament should be on your radar if you regularly play games with your family or friends and are looking for something to occupy a weekend's worth of activities. Offering some exciting couch co-op action, this one will definitely produce some laughs and good times, but the lack of variety in the controls limit the differences in the game modes, which is only accentuated by the bare-bones single-player offerings.
