In case you forgot, here's a quick reminder that Assault Heroes 2 (800 Microsoft Points) is scheduled for release this week on Xbox LIVE Arcade.

What's different this time around? Enemy vehicles are now hijackable, there's a greater variety in the types of environments you'll run around in, and new weapons are thrown in for good measure. If you've got any more hard-hitting questions, just ask CTZ.

For those of you who bought the original Assault Heroes, will you be buying the sequel? How about those of you who are new to the series?

I will, bought the first one for 400 and I need more 2D scrolling shooters that take more than 30 mins (Triggerheart) and don't make sigh so much (Ikaruga).

I'll be getting it. The first was fun in co-op and this one is "new and improved", so why not?

It's better then the first one. It looks better, its more challenging, its more balanced and overall is just more fun.

I think it's a great game.
