Don't throw money away on this game. The lack of multiplayer just ruins it, now I say multiplayer because that's what it seems the publisher wanted to call it to get you to waste money on it. The online part of this game is completely gone, the only multiplayer in this game is couch. My bigger issue is that steam has tags for the publisher to use for both local and online multiplayer/coop and the publisher didn't feel like using them and steam again doesn't care what they tag.
As much as I wanted this game to be good it isn't the parts removed were the biggest thing for me because this game just loses it's magic when I am sitting here playing solo. Maybe better for little kids but adults don't get to just sit down all together a lot to play a game during the week, online we can. So just don't waste the money or wait for a sale to come, other then that just avoid the damn game. Also it doesn't work correctly on windows 8, go check the forums it's a fun time right now.
