You also need to decide how you want your screen split up: You can add or remove players at any time: At least once you get used to gamepad controls :-)Īnyway, here’s some UI screenshots. We’ve played the split screen with my kids for many, many hours now, and it’s an absolute blast. The advantage is that you are right next to each other, not in different rooms or even countries, and so cooperation comes very easily. Network multiplayer would be ideal and is obviously a long awaited feature, but make no mistake, split screen might at times be just as good if not better. I will stress this again – this is not yet a true network multiplayer, but split screen multiplayer on a single device. The biggest feature of 2.1 will no doubt be ability to have multiple players in the game.
