Tell me a game you didn’t enjoy while playing COOP. No answer right of the top of your head… ? That’s because COOP can make even the worst video games fun. Hell even HAZE was fun when I was playing with a friend in the singleplayer COOP.

Console Domination writes: Combining three separate and very popular franchises into one game should work right? Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank and Sly Cooper are three of the best action adventure/platforming series that Sony has to offer. Good gameplay and good story make these the hits that they are and the prospect of a mash up should be cause for celebration. Unfortunately the end result is a a party game played with motion controls, rather than some kind of massive adventure. Something of a disappointment really. On its own merits it's a passable game. The minigames are fairly entertaining, if somewhat repetitive but as a party game it's sorely lacking in the party atmosphere.

I think it's a challenge for a developer to create a game for co-op to make sense. Story-driven games like Bioshock just aren't designed for co-op. You're even seeing games like Left 4 Dead which were designed as a co-op game.
However, I think Gears of War nailed campaign co-op, it works perfectly and if anything improves the campaign rather than harms it. I can't wait to play the Gears 3 campaign with 3 of my mates.
