Graphics and story line are awesome. The only down side is you have to play co-op. There is no single player option. People who do not own the game can download the demo and play co-op with people who own the game.

The game is very fun to play, and I enjoyed the old school feel of multiplayer. The game is short, plbut the price tag is 1/2 the price of a new game so it balances out. I did NOT care for the ending unfortunately and I feel it will divide audiences.

This is one of the most unique gameplay experiences I have ever had. Everybody should give this game a chance. You play COOP, and you must play COOP, the game is fully designed around the idea of playing as two people who meet in prison and work together to break out to get revenge on somebody they both know.
The game allows one person to buy it and someone else to download the free trial version and then you can coop without buying a second copy.
A fun story full of cool twists and turns and an ending that had my friend and I talking as the credits rolled.
Seriously, give this game a try!! Support the unique stuff!

My wife and I wanted a good co-op game to play so we picked up A Way Out on sale. It's not the most amazing game, it has a bit of a slow burn to it, but overall it's one of the better story-driven games I've played recently.

Split screen. 2 player. Great price. And comes with a pass so your friend doesn’t have to own the game to play with you. Nice!

The game was fairly affordable not too over priced. Defiantly need a friend to play this game. I have completed this game in almost a full days of game play. The story is very exciting and the graphics are right on. Team work is a must for any of it to work. Overall it is a fun well structured game with a very nice plot twist. I love it and highly recommend it.

Picked this up on launch day not expecting much but this is the very best co op story style game I’ve ever played. EA and Hazelight really put together a great story and experience here , and it’s perfect that only 1 person needs to own the game and the other person can play for free even if you play Online l, get this game you won’t be dissapojnted

I had such a great time playing this game with a friend of mine who I hadn't caught up with in awhile. Because the game requires 2-player co-op, it gives the purchaser the ability to invite any friend to play the game with them. No one-time use code required. The story is also well done and integrates nicely into the 2 player mechanic.

If you have a good friend to play with, this game is a lot of fun. Figuring out what to do, strategically planning and the gameplay works pretty seamlessly. I wasn't sure they could pull it off, but job well done.

The storyline is beautiful. Game play engine is very impressive. One downside, This is a 2 player game. 1 person cannot play this game. Over all, if your a true gamer, then this is a game for you.

Bought this game to play with my brother and had loads of fun. Story starts out slow but picks up later on. Very emotional game. Sure buy for only 23.99 if you game Best Buy gamers unlocked.

This is a really unique game that can only played with another person, either online or on the couch. The gameplay is simple but the story is engaging, and the teamwork brings it together.

This game requires two players, and I'd say is best played with a friend on the same system instead of online. It's largely a series of puzzles requiring cooperation between the players, with the occasional action sequence. Word of warning: some of the achievements didn't register for me, despite definitely fulfilling the requirement for them. Not sure if this was a problem unique to me or if it's common, but felt kinda let down by that. At any rate, the game can be finished in a solid day, two if you need to take a break, so grab a friend and enjoy.
