Cons
Con Tedious level design
There is a lot of backtracking and lever pulling that gives a feeling of lazy level design to elongate the game.
Con Co-op may leave one or two players out on certain stages
Some stages do not offer gameplay for all co-op players. Although the co-op is drop in drop out, certain points of the game do not offer anything for the other players to do.
Con Story is lacking from majority of game
The actual story of the title takes a bit of a back seat and is not really fleshed out while playing. Most of the backstory will only be found in the built in digital manual.
