Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
An amazing game-play experience in both solo play and same screen co-op but co-op tends to have a bit more laughs I come to find.
22 of 171 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Another gripe with the multiplayer and port/modernization potential is that this game could have easily in the process of development, had a split-screen mode implemented.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
What I will mention is that while both games are good, keep in mind that Ghoul Patrol was originally NEVER MEANT to be a sequel to ZAMN and instead actually became an "unplanned sequel" once JVC realized that the game had similar mechanics and even some of the characters (the player ones to be specific) looked a lot like Zeke and Julie and also the game played similarly enough
