Got this game during the "what a steal!" promo, and even at full price, it's definitely a steal! The game is fast-paced, fun, and really vibrant to look at, and it's backed up by a genius dynamic soundtrack that gradually ramps up in intensity as you are near enemies, either in a tension-building bassy way when you're sneaking around where you really shouldn't be, or as a frenetic crescendo when they spot you and you need to run away. The stylish 'blueprint' art style makes it relatively clear where you're going even when something's outta your line of sight and also gives the devs an excuse to plop down text to point out stuff that's not clear by the game's graphical style, and goes along perfectly with the game's heist theme. While co-op lets you spread out and do stuff faster, it's balanced by you sharing the same supply of extra lives and by you actually getting in the way of each other pretty easily - coordination is a must to get through this in one piece. Just got through the tutorial, and I'm not sure I want to know just how much this is gonna ramp up from here...
