I'm liking the game so far, but co-op is more miss than hit. It's not co-operative at all, it's splitting up a good working character at double the risk. I have to mine lives in the first world to be able to enjoy playing together, because the load times for getting thrown back to the select screen are awful. Plus the other player is better to opt out when a mine cart level or similar comes up. Bad game design.
My wishlist fora next installment is:
- Get rid of the lives system, it's annoying and pointless.
- In mine cart sections alternate control between players, or make it a splitscreen race.
- Lego type dynamic splitscreen for normal play, or zoom out a bit to keep both players visible.
In single player it's very good.
