This Week's Arcade Game: Assault Heroes 2

This Week's Arcade Game: Assault Heroes 2
Written Monday, May 12, 2008 by Alan Pettit

The sequel to the award-winning Xbox LIVE® action extravaganza, Assault Heroes™ 2 continues to ramp up the excitement. Your original enemy was just a pawn of a more sinister alien force, and now you must fight on both land and in space to overcome this new threat. Fight alone or work with a friend in the enhanced two-player cooperative mode. Employ bigger and stronger weapons and enjoy a more intense on-foot combat experience. Battle through the extensive and intense levels in your trusty 4x4, or hijack enemy vehicles for even greater firepower. Take on even more relentless enemies and face-off with the most outrageous bosses you have ever seen on your way to the climactic battles in outer space!
  • Enhanced multiplayer co-op: Quickly activate improved cooperative weapons to rain destruction on hordes of bazooka soldiers, kamikaze bombers, and more.
  • Hijackable enemy units: Steal the attack helicopter, armored tank, or mechanical walker from the enemy base for surprise attacks.
  • More powerful weaponry: Utilize a superior arsenal of weapons including the newly designed sub-zero freezing ice cannon, homing missiles, rocket launcher, and upgraded firearms from the original.
  • Frantic on-foot action: Survive on-foot warfare while equipped with all your weapons in expansive underground areas.
  • Monstrous bosses: Face off against challenging mechanoid beasts before they destroy you.
  • New diverse and interactive environments: Blast through the Snowy Mountains, Rainforest and Outer Space with extensive destructible terrain from burning trees to shattering buildings.
COST: 800 MSP

Not bad but there's better ways to spend 800MSP.

First was one was fantastic, and a bargain at 400 points now. Looking forward to the sequel (achievements looks a bit harder as well...).

If we're talking what we "really really want" then clearly Street Fighter 2 HD has to be top of list. I'll be getting Commando 3 just for the SF2HD Beta. Seriously.

I would defiently be purchasing this (which is odd because i never buy arcade games) if i had my xbox. Looks good, I hope the achievements are easier then the first one

Bleh, when the hell is Capcom going to start relesaing their games already? Crazy for some Biotic Commando, Commando 3, and etc.

maybe, but then again maybe not. Might just stick with my GTA IV for now.

Is it worth $10 for a game you'll beat in one day?

It beats another boring non-nostalgic puzzle game, where is Samurai Showdown?

i liked the demo of this game i played a few weeks ago and i liked it a lot. not sue if its worth 800 ms points but i guess it be good to get if one is looking for something to tie them over till something else comes out.

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
