Cooperative play is a great option to have, but could this game be too much of a good thing?

Yep, we're doing that again this week with the multitude of Xbox One and Xbox 360 bargains found in the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 18th-24th August 2020. And it's helped that the Ultimate Game Sale is included too."
Neil writes: "With the delay of many AAA titles, and the move into the summer period, it is still a little quiet on the new games front. But that in turn at least gives us the chance to crack on with knuckling down with our huge list of older games that we've been meaning to play. It does however also mean that in order to keep that backlog list topped up, even more Xbox games will need to be purchased - and that is where the latest Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale comes in. The latest one - that working between the 7th-13th July 2020 - offers plenty of great discounts on numerous Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles."

And that is what is happening again this week as hot on the heels of one great sale, comes another, with the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 9th-15th June 2020 providing many stunning Xbox One and Xbox 360 games at heavily discounted prices. The question is, what will you be picking up this week?"
One is the loneliest number.
I'm glad I only paid $25.00 for the game.
I don't really agree with their review and score. They say in co-op game's level design problems become slightly less bothering but in really, the game becomes rather flawless in co-op.
It's a really unique and fun experiece and ages better than any other co-op I've played. The back to back moments are uber awesome and when you're wounded and your friend drags you to a safe place for healing, you really thank him and feel as if you owe him/her your life!
Also, they criticize the graphics for being weak but seriously, AoT is a really good looking game and has superb special effects and such. Sure, it's no GOW2 but it looks really good and much better than GT said IMO.
Overall, it's a solid 8/10 from me and it mainly because I play alone most of the time and don't like multiplayer much but have to confess that co-op in this game is a riot so from a multiplayer gamer's prespective, it could easily be a 8.5/10 or even a 9/10.
I have to agree with the review that the plot is a bit paper thin. When my buddy and I hopped on to coop game last night it felt like a generic shooter at first until toward the baghdad missions, then the more linear tunnel maps gave way to open maps and we had a blast. The game didn't really get immersive until then, but when it did... boy was it fun!
I totally recommend getting the game if you have a friend to shoot with. In the coop regard this is like a 8.5-9 game. I can't say much for the single player b/c the Ai is weak. However, the kill animations are phenomenal. And it really gets the friendly competitiveness going. One of many highlights that night was when my charc kneed an enemy in the groin, and my buddy who just happened to be there, clotheslined him as he was doubling over and boom! that poor guy somersaulted on the ground. The poor dude tried weakly to get up (and I think this is the result of a poor melee attach button) but then my friend executed the guy in the head lol.... very bloody fun.
it should have been at least an 8
