Because the machine has no built-in ability to connect to the Internet, online play is out of the question. The easiest way is to split the screen either in half or into quarters so as many as four people can play at once.

A bigger complaint, though, is how sluggish the game can be.
Players use the analog thumbsticks to move and look around.
If anything, it's too fast and players have to keep tight tabs on the controls to avoid stupid mistakes. Battle environments are perfectly drawn, and the sadistic array of weapons offers plenty of choices for players who like variety in their carnage. You will not be charged to look for stories, only to retrieve one.
