Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Acting as both a sequel and a spiritual expansion of the original Ben and Ed, this version pushes the formula toward multiplayer mayhem and user-generated creativity.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
the ONLY "good" thing about this game is the coop... at least, that's what they tried to do... and failed MISERABLY, not only did they sacrifice MANY factors by being THIS reliant on coop, like New Super Maio Bros Wii did, but contrary to that game, the ONLY interaction you get from being in multiplayer is being a DISEASE (aka being annoying), no interesting levels, not many mechanics, no collectibles, no nothing, being annoying to your mates gets boring REALLY quickly AND you'll only find it fun IF your humor is to just piss off your friends; and again, it won't last long before it gets boring, really boring

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Like many games in its genre, it’s best enjoyed in short bursts or with friends rather than as a long solo campaign.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
It also lacks difficulty, the levels can be completed in less than 2 minutes even by taking it slowly and most have some severe cheese tactics, like a level that can be completed in like 20 seconds by purposely jumping in the lava and throwing the head shortly after, since some GENIOUS in the developer team decided that lava shouldn't be an insta-kill
