“Playing solo it is a fun game punctured by stupid and frustrating difficulty spikes that turn it into a slog. The new Painter DLC certainly adds some life to it, and it may shine multiplayer with friends, but solo it is a tad more sour…”
People who play it also play: Streets of Rage 4, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World™: The Game – Complete Edition
