Players find the game enjoyable in single-player mode, but its replayability significantly increases when engaging in local multiplayer, particularly through cooperative play and 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.”
