Now that same game is back on PlayStation Network, under the guidance of a new publishing team, Konami (since Sierra went extinct at the hands of Activision). Although little has changed, that's no reason to be concerned. What remains is a fun arcade shooter, whether you're going at it alone or with a buddy."

TGH Writes:
"Top down shooters are making a comeback recently. Heck any arcade like shooter is getting publicity now. Where does this put Assault Heroes? The PSN re-release of the XBLA hit came out 2 years after the fact. So does the time spent in development help the game or is it simply just a port of a good game."
Extreme Gamer writes: ""Digital download services on each of the three consoles seem to be quite a home for old-school games such as Mega Man and Castlevania, and they've especially been a haven for sci-fi style shooters as well. With this, Konami has brought back Assault Heroes for the PlayStation Network.
The game was actually released on the Xbox Live Arcade a few years ago, and the only difference is that the PSN version is five bucks more expensive at $9.99. But if you've never experienced it, $9.99 is still a good price (but you might want to stick to the one on the 360)."
