The co-operative multiplayer works exceptionally well with the split - screen behaving dynamically which varies the split based upon the current action taking place or alternatively utilising a fixed vertical split, therefore allowing both players to explore two completely separate areas of the same level or
hub area without restriction to their location, movements or actions.
With this item, you can return to the world's central
hub without the backtracking, though there'll still be plenty of legwork involved to reach new
areas.
