Klei Entertainment's <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/shank"><em>Shank</em></a> was <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/08/24/shank-review/" target="_blank">a lovable, uncomplicated indie b</a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/08/24/shank-review/" target="_blank">eat-em-up</a>. The game's protagonist went on a murderous rampage using whatever he had lying around, including guns, a big knife, a chainsaw, and a few other items. It's probably no surprise that <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/09/27/shank-2-announced-during-ea-vegas-press-conference-coming-earl/">the recently announced</a> <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/shank-2"><em>Shank 2</em></a> is more of that kind of thing.<br />
<br />
The backgrounds are nicer and more colorful, Shank's enemies are more varied, and the controls are refined. It's a better, cleaner <em>Shank</em> experience. The indie charm is still there, and the whole game is more polished.<br />
<br />
Oh, and there's one big feature that will probably make the game for fans of the series: An endless online co-op survival mode.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/09/29/shank-2-back-for-more/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Shank 2: Back for more</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/09/29/shank-2-back-for-more/">Shank 2: Back for more</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 29 Sep 2011 17:00:00 EST.
