Schizoid is a co-op action game in which teamwork matters like never before, as gamers and their friend or AI ally protect each other from barrages of glowing enemies. Co-op gameplay to the max: No other multiplayer co-op game has such tight cooperative gameplay. The two players (or one player with a computer A.I. partner, or one player controlling both ships in Uberschizoid) must work together closely in order to defeat the hordes on each level.

One of the most engaging and freaky game experiences ever! This really is the most co-op game you can imagine. You never realize what this game is about but it is great fun, addictive and it every sense weird! totally unplayable alone but with a friend your gamer-minds will melt together, which is indeed a great achievement!
This is a must-have coop game!

I grabbed this after beating castle crashers. This game is pretty shallow on most points but it is still worth it I suppose. THe game reminds me of Contra for it's difficulty but isn't multi-leveled so the game play gets repetitive but the boss levels(some of them) are quite fun. To me the mini pda games on schizoid are actually better than the real game.

My advice would be to pick it up when its on sale from XBLA. Not worth it at full price.

When they say that teamwork matters, they aren't kidding. The sense of achievement you get by co-opping your way through some of the harder levels is fantastic.Highly recommended!
