  • Summary: Desperados 2 is the sequel of the successful wild west title "Desperados – Wanted Dead or Alive". The gameplay is based on its predecessor but with brand new tactical possibilities in a beautiful 3D environment. The player is able to switch from an isometric view to a third person view whenever he wants, for example for duels, brawls and shoot-outs. There will be a great variety of setting for example dusty canyons, ghost towns, Indian villages and forts creating a breathtaking atmosphere. Take on the role of up to 6 heroes including the famous bounty hunter John Cooper and experience in a thrilling story with surprising turns. [Spellbound]… Expand

    Desperados 2: Cooper's Revenge continues on its predecessor's path. The gameplay, graphics and characters are great. Add to that the Morricone-like music and you have a Wild West addict's dream. Still, the game falls short of masterpiece status, because of too much frustrating sneaking, some graphics bugs and the occasionally stupid AI. [June 2006]

    The clumsy control scheme and passive AI are the two biggest frustrations we had with the sequel and while they weren't enough to completely kill the magic of the setting, they came damn close.

    While the basic mechanic shows promise, the game itself is purely mechanical, and predictably joyless as a result. [July 2006, p.92]

    The game is a step backwards to the original game. The 'action-mode' isn't fun and the AI isn't how it has to be... Sometimes an enemy gets shot and an other doesn't notices and the other times my character hides in a corner and the enemies find him without they have seen of heard anything.… Expand

    Not played the first one but this as a concept was awesome. Being able to switch between multiple characters with different abilities at the same time was so beast at the time. The problem was that the action wasn't too convincing.… Expand
