Doesn't even run. Fun times!

Edit: After some tinkering, I managed to get the game to launch. Unfortunately, the original rating stands. I was looking forward to having a game to play cooperatively with friends and this was quite a let-down.

Many people have already complained about the couch co-op split screen, but I knew about that going in. What really misses the mark for me is the fact that Mercenary Kings "co-op" feels more like having multiple single player games running at once. Dying and having to fight your way back to where you left off works well for single player games but really makes for a poor multiplayer experience. Nothing sucks the fun out of a game like feeling like you or one of your friends is a burden.
