Mending the unmendable in IT TAKES TWO

- OLD GAMES REVISITED by Matthew Elliott

Frogs are ambush predators; in real life they'd devour Max and Cody.

It's always difficult when two close friends break up, isn't it? It's the moment when they need you the most, but you can't be there for both of them. And however amicable it is, you know, at some point, you'll have to choose how you divide your time between them. You're suddenly another part of the problem; a possession to divide.

It would be easier, however, in the case of It Takes Two: I would simply choose to give them both space. So much space. Perhaps infinite space. Because if the intention here was to show two people at their most unlovable, then the game is an immediate triumph.
