How co-op works
Up to four local players clear Story or Arcade mode on one screen. Each Joe has a distinct moveset and abilities, so the group divides enemy crowds between close-range combos and special moves while using ranged weapons against protected or distant targets.
About this game
G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra is a retro-inspired side-scrolling beat 'em up that drops you straight into the action as one of the classic Real American Heroes. Cobra has returned with another fiendish scheme, and it's up to your team to punch, kick, and shoot your way through enemy forces until the villains retreat. This is true co-op, letting you and a friend tackle missions together on the same screen.
