Cons
Con Single player puzzles are frustrating
Many of the single player campaigns are difficult due to frustrating puzzles that can take many tries to complete. As much as it is nice to have a single player campaign the real meat of the game is meant to be in the multiplayer, which shows in the design of these single player missions.
Con Not child friendly
While the graphics are cartoon-like and seemingly geared towards children, the gameplay is anything but. This is definitely not a game for small children due to the violence found within.
