Just finished the game. What an awesome experience. Totally paisa vasool 
The co-op is INSANE fun. All the levels and puzzles are designed brilliantly, and specifically for co-op. And the fact that single player puzzles are different and are solved solo not only adds replay value but it also shows how much effort Crystal dynamics have put into this game.
There was absolutely no monotony through out the play. I loved the combat system. Both the characters' indigenous skills were combined very well to progress. And solving the puzzles together were awesome fun .. they were so good that there were these optional parts which can be skipped, but me and my bro didn't skip a single maze/puzzle (although I am sure we "missed a few" which is good because it only means that the game has plenty to explore).
The game also looks gorgeous and the isometric view works very well. Initially after watching screens and all I thought the camera was a bit far from the characters but I didn't find any problems during my play. And now I like it so much that I wish more games would come with this view because I find it better then split screen co-op.
There's a lot to do in the game and a lot to explore. Some puzzles are lengthy which I think everyone will love.
But did I say this game on a whole is lengthy? The reason I said total paisa vasool is because its got content that one would find in a retail game and which is why I love it. I am glad I got this game.
For any Action/Platforming fan, this game is a must have!

Each level takes about 30-45mins depending on the exploration you do ... So I'd say it's around 7-10 hours. And yes it's same screen.Ethan_Hunt said:
And BTW the achievements are pretty easy

It's not a story driven game I'd say, More like a background story, Typical adventure fare. More emphasis is given on the gameplay itself, But whatever the story is .. it goes well with the game.
Tried the XBLA demo in co-op with my brother. Amazing, simply amazing. Was having a blast till I realised it's only a demo. This is meant to be enjoyed in co-op, I repeat, meant to be enjoyed in co-op. I'll definitely get the PC version when it arrives. Although, keyboard and controller co-op would be a bit awkward.

Problem: I already have another 360 controller, but it's wireless.

Heck another wired controller is even less expensive than the receiver. To hell with the god damn receiver! :|
For one game? Hell no!
I'm managing Bionic Commando: Rearmed in co-op with my brother on the PC using the keyboard, so this shouldn't be much of an issue.

Surprisingly, it's not! You can easily control the character movement with the analog sticks. Plus the camera always gives you a full view, so you won't run into any issues.
Finally got the full game. Now to kick some co-op ass. Just completed the first level, which was essentially the demo level I had completed on the 360.
There had been a major goof up on the PSN demo of this game. People who had got their early access code for this game from Gamespot, used it on the PS3 and somehow the whole game got unlocked instead of just the demo. Lucky chaps, eh?
