About
The fan-favorite 2D brawler is back as ex-mob hit man Shank returns to action in Shank 2. With those closest to him under attack, Shank is once again forced on the offensive. Now he must put his trusty arsenal of handguns, shotguns, automatic weapons, chainsaws, machetes, grenades, plus all-new weaponry and moves to use in order to protect those close to him. The original game set a new standard for its visual style and Shank 2 raises the bar. Shank 2 expands on the original game’s amazing combat system to redefine the 2D side-scrolling brawler.
Reviews
When I played the second installment, I honestly felt that the story was considerably weaker than the first game, especially considering how incredible the original was.
Gameplay-wise, it was almost identical to the first game, with perhaps only one or two new mechanics added. Overall, though, the gameplay is still incredibly entertaining and can keep you busy for hours. The graphics haven't changed much either, and the game feels very similar to its predecessor.
Although the second installment wasn't as good as the first one, that doesn't mean you can't have a great time playing it. I still found it an enjoyable experience!
