I played GB on Wii with another person, co-op all the way thru. Yea, the graphics are not as nice as the 360/PS3 counterparts, but the lo-fi kiddie style is not without some charm and it's not all that bad. Splitscreen co-op was on a 42 inch tv, and felt just fine, though I think doing splitscreen on smaller screens may be unsatisfying. The game does really well in the plot aspect, moving things along at a good pace, and good voice acting. The variety of weapons and gear are also a nice touch, slime guns and stasis beams help give the game more robust gameplay.
The game falls short on a few points though, mainly, the game is too short and too easy. Death in GB causes you to become paralyzed, and as long as your partner is still upright, they can just walk over to you and very quickly revive you. In fact, the other computer controlled characters will do the same, so the game just feels extremely forgiving. The high points in the game are usually when there are lots of ghosts and monsters in the area, and things just feel chaotic. It's a fun kind of chaotic, but at the same time, it feels a little random.
There is a scanning mechanic in the game that can feel very clunky and abrupt. It breaks up the action and really kills the joy of busting. But you don't have to scan everything, unless you're a completionist, in which case, have fun with that.
