I played this game as a coop game, as it has a Coop campaign that becomes unlockable once you complete the prologue, and I feel like it was ten times as fun having a friend join me along the way.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Players can enjoy free roaming Fortune City as they fight boss battles, rescue survivors, create and collect the games signature "combo weapons", make loads of money, play with different outfits, complete challenges, unlock achievements, and uncover secrets.
