Multiplayer modes are a lot of fun, whether you go co-op or competitive; replay value is very high indeed.
No online multiplayer option; not much in the way of innovation.

As much as we hate to begin a review with a question or comment framed in the resoundingly negative, we have to ask. How can a franchise continue to thrive with such little actual innovation? The answer, of course, is that the germinal ideas were so st...
