“In all honesty, it's pretty simple, but with arcade mechanics that do not improve the experience. Rather, you are obliterated by the first player that dominates it.”

Players find the game enjoyable in single-player mode, but its replayability significantly increases when playing with a local friend, especially with the added feature of level creation.
“I had a blast even just playing the single-player campaign, but I'm sure the game has much more replay value if you have a local friend to play (and level create!) with.”
