In multiplayer -- which is obviously how the game is best played -- fighting is made even more compelling thanks to junction skills. This is a fancy name for cooperative attacks that can be unleashed for heavy damage. For example, two characters can form a fire line between them, and use it to destroy hordes of hellions; or in another skill, the valkyrie rains hail down on the heads of bad guys. These attacks will show that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
And the second is at 1Up:
While in a four-player game, players also won't have to worry about stopping their game at any point to wait for a teammate to do much of anything. With an on-screen menu that pops up, players can manage, equip, and trade their items while everything in the game continues to happen around them. So if one of your friends is menu-happy and likes to spend a lot of time switching up his or her arsenal, that won't negatively affect the rest of the team.
