Shank was fun, but the context-sensitive controls were a little frustrating. Hopefully they iron that out this time around.
ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod, i loved so much the first one and i think i'm the only that thought that way
@Henriquegds I am here to join you in your glee! The first Shank was Earthworm Jim, Samurai Jack, and Machete welded together, and I will take more of that as long as someone is willing to make it.
Awesome news is, well, awesome. The first game was the forgotten/cult game of last year! Hopefully the sequel shanks out some of the first Shank's problems with shanking. Also, shank.
Nice. The first one was good and I liked it, but I could've waited for it to go on sale especially since it didn't have online co-op.
Nice, gonna pick it up, liked the first one, was a fun title to play inbetween orther games or just to vent off :)
I loved Shank. One of the best action platformers around. That said, it suffered from the "enormous fucking health bars = GAMEPLAY" syndrome.
Just got to the point where a basic enemy could take 3 shotgun blasts to the face, get up and take 5 slashes and a chainsaw stab, and then be thrown in to the air and shot several times before he was even close to dying. The juggling and combos like that were fun until the screen was filled with about 20 of the cunts + 4 giant fuckers who would ram you every 4 seconds, and you were interrupted after doing 2 moves. And that was on EASY.
Less fucking health for everyone and an easy mode that is actually easy and I will be quite happy with Shank 2.

shank sucked ass. its the only game i have bought and downloaded and then deleted and never played again. it was over hyped. a huge download/install size just because of the lame voice work. game play was bland. not buying this game.
I tried to play the first one on my PC but it doesn't work. This is coming from someone who can play Deus EX HR on max specs (aside from AA) at around 40-57fps (mostly 51fps).
Loved the singleplayer campaign, but the co-op backstory was far too hard for its own good. Even when your teamwork was at its tightest just about every enemy (specially the bosses) ramped up the cheap shot level by 11.
Either way, I liked the game enough to return for a sequel, so this is pretty exciting for me. Really happy they kept the art style, which is what pulled me into the game in the first place.

I loved the look of the first one, but the gameplay needed some variation. I'd actually love to see alot more enemies with lower health. Let's face it... putting a grenade in someone's mouth or chainsawing them (at all) should make for some instant deadness, no matter the size of the dude. And yeah, the voicework and cutscenes were really a waste of time and space. I'd settle for skippable stills and text-only exposition so the gameplay isn't disrupted as much. Spend more time on the gameplay and artwork!
Despite all that, really who am I kidding? 2D beat-em-up = bought.
