Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
(will return to finish the story and Play with other friends using friend pass, the only thing i did notice is friend pass users don't get achievements i think)
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
It understands that co-op frustration, when carefully designed, can be one of gaming’s most memorable emotional experiences.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
It'd be pretty fun if it worked, but when you end up unable to progress because you and your partner got whisked away to separate lobbies, I wouldn't exactly call that functional.
