When renting a video game, what's the most important thing? Being able to play the game by yourself or getting a few friends together for a royal rumble? If the VSDA VidTrac video game rental charts are any indication, it's definitely the multiplayer game that will win out in the end. Take, for example, GoldenEye, which was at the top of the chart for a very long time, Mario Kart, and now, Acclaim's South Park. Seems the boys of South Park have nailed Link with a snowball this week, putting Legend of Zelda 64 in the number two position. WCW/nWo Revenge and WCW/nWo Thunder came in number three and four, respectively, and Nintendo/LucasArts' Rogue Squadron rounds out the top five.
