Assault Heroes 2 follows the stereotypical path of the sequel to a tee. The additions read like a veritable checklist of expected upgrades--bigger levels, new vehicles, and different weapons--without implementing any drastic changes that would mess with the tried-and-true game design of the first. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing. While people sick of the seemingly endless stream of dual-stick shooters on Xbox Live Arcade still won't find anything here to change their minds, fans of the genre will be happy that developer Wanako Studios improved every aspect of the first game without sacrificing the hardcore appeal. Despite the lack of innovation, this is one of the best shooters on the service, an eminently enjoyable old-school romp.
Carlos writes "It’s been a great month so far for the backwards compatibility scheme on Xbox One, but this week may just be the busiest week of all since its introduction. 10 more Xbox 360 titles have made the generational jump and are now playable on Xbox One, so let’s take a look and see if they are worth returning to once more."
And its part of EA Access, hoping they put 2 and 3 in the Vault so I can replay those aswell, never beat 3 Co-Op
xbox is killing it with backwards compatibility. but they'll STILL find a way to downvote any xbox-positive comment into oblivion. N4G is completely infested with Sony fanboys lol smh
While I agree with your comment about BC being a great thing, I downvoted you because of your fanboy comments about Sony. I own both the XB1 and PS4 and enjoy both of them, and really appreciate that MS has worked so hard to bring 360 games to the XB1.
@ superchiller: my comment was about N4G not about Sony. so i'm going to give your reading comprehension a downvote.
Nice job turning an Xbox positive article into a whine about fanboys. You are as bad as the people you whine about, dude.
@ Razzer: i'll just say something like "phil spencer is doing a great job" & it'll have 50 downvotes for no reason... if somebody says "Phil Spencer, more like FAIL Spencer... amirite?" it will have 50+ upvotes & top comment. if you're pro-xbox, commenting on N4G gets annoying after awhile. you already know what people's opinion is going to be. PS4 = good. / XB1 = bad. no matter what good xbox does, its never good enough for them. it got so bad to the point where i had to address it. so i did.
same, that and resonance of fate, magna carta 2, eternal sonata, fable 1, maybe even star ocean 4.
Sure, multiplayer is fun, but where do you turn when you and your friends don't want to shoot and chase each other around a map? Leviathyn.com's Blake Anglin gives us a list of great co-op games you and your buddies can jump into when you're needing a break.
... cause it's also enjoyable for my crappy playing girlfriend, although we aren't very far yet, and haven't unlucked new characters.
I might pick up Guardian Heroes once that goes down in price and if I like the demo.
i got my GF into Dead Nation and after that we jumped in to resistance 3..we do need to find somethin new cause im tired of MW3 survival mode so ill have to check some of these out.
Early this morning, OnLive added 4 new games to their growing library of titles. Avernum: Escape From the Pit, Crazy Machines: Elements, and T.E.C. 3001 have been added to the OnLive PlayPack. Assault Heroes 2 has been added as a stand-alone PlayPass title.
