    Not bad at all, varied and fun games played out in some very pretty environments. Fun to play with one of your kids or fun for two kids to play together. Drags on though. The first 4 hours, great, and after that, can we be done yet please?

    But uh, the voice acting, my god. The two main characters are so irritating, and their voices are horrible.

    Get a buddy, get a few drinks, sit on the couch or from your own homes and play this game together. It's fun, unique and interesting.

    A co-op masterpiece. Almost perfect pacing. The game's sequences are pure fun that never bores you. And... f*ck the Oscars.

    However the most disappointing part for me was the ending, Because the game didn't really show me the reunion of Cody and May the way I wanted to see, It was more like they came together because of their daughter and all that "collaboration" was for nothing.
    Despite disappointing ending, It Takes Two was an amazing and fun game for me and it's definitely one of my favorite games.

    "It Takes Two" is just a good game. But this is the best game for two I've ever played. Quite a banal and blurry ending. But this is probably the only drawback of the game.
    My wife and I were delighted.

    It's hard to score this game. One one hand, it is probably the best 3d cooperative game ever made, and on the other, it is heavily flawed.

    The variety, and two player gameplay are excellent and fun, no complaints there whatsoever. The nods to different playstyles are especially fun, and there are times when the game blows my mind, especially vehicle segments. The people who made the game seem to have a certain understanding for balancing play design. The minigames vary from just ok to Excellent, and in general this is probably top two co-op experiences of all time.

    From a different perspective, the writing is absolutely awful, and the voice acting is bad, especially Rose, who is clearly voiced by an adult, and is extremely creepy. I would actually go so far as to say, the decision to cast rose as an adult completely ruins any sort of emotional weight the game may otherwise have had. My girlfriend and I usually just laugh at the creepy rose parts (especially after I played her what it reminded me of: Blue Jam, series 3, episode four, about 8:15). The writing is awful. The book is a weird (Mexican?) Stereotype, its not amusing at all, and just makes us roll our eyes and skip the cutscenes. There are also really lame jokes, including really hacky fart jokes, that seem more aimed at little kids, which is weird because this game really does not seem like a good game for kids in most regards. The world is also weirdly sparse, I really hate that every 3d platformer has become a collectathon, but it seems like there should be some things to find, or some small quests.

    Can't recommend it enough as a play experience though despite it's flaws.    … Expand

    Great game, great story, every moment is very enjoyable, great visuals. One problem with it is that not all controllers are detected in local co-op so we could only play online with a friend pass. They doesn't mention in advance that you can't co-op on one keyboard.

    This co-op game aligns its gameplay really well with the story to make the experience truly collaborative for the two players. Some of the levels were downright incredible to play and solve. Only slight negatives are that the story isn't groundbreaking and some levels feel like they just overstay their welcome.

    One of the best co-op game, I have ever played. Sometimes it still amazes me, how many creative ideas they had.
    The story is great, and it processes a serious subject too.
    There are funny characters too, the book was my favourite.
    So, if you're looking for a co-op game, this will be perfect for you.

    I don't know how to put into words what I just experienced. This game has everything. It was a combination of "Banjo Kazooie/Donkey Kong 64/Super Mario Galaxy/Magicka/Portal/A Short Pixar Film". and thats before the halfway mark.

Hikaye ve konsept ilgi çekici olsa da işin mutlu sona bağlanması, bunun öncesinde karakterlerin birbirlerini anlamaları bana çok ikna edici gelmedi. Bilmiyorum belki kardeşimle oynadığım içindir. Sonuçta bir karı-koca hikayesi.

    This game simply brings fresh ideas and new emotions! A must-have for everyone. Cool visuals, nice sound design, stunning level design, and well-thought mechanics. The only drawbacks are a bit crumpled end of the game and a little poor server optimization for online co-op.

    It Takes Two manages to combine cooperative acting in the level of many game genres, perfectly dose the pace and tell a serious story about parenting with a successful exaggeration. All this beautifully in a detailed fairytale-fantasy world, the exploration of which makes it a double joy.

    True, there's no single moment to touch the climax of his heartbreaking 2013 debut, Brother: A Tale of Two Sons, but Fares's third - and best - game as director suggests the Oscars' loss is very much videogames' gain. [Issue#358, p.108]

    Tonally it is all over the place, never seeming quite sure what type of game it wants to be and audience it wants to court. At times it as sweet, warm and sharply enjoyable as any family film. May and Cody’s jibes at each other swerve from affectionate to cutting in a believable and often touching way as they pick at the rifts in their relationship. You may even start to root for them, until the game swerves into a task involving the excruciatingly drawn-out murder of a toy elephant to make their daughter cry.
