  • Summary: [Xbox Live Arcade] 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. [Microsoft] Expand

  1. The harder boss fights, longer levels, destructible environments, and the on-foot levels add to the already amazingly fun to play and, in my opinion, one of the best XBLA games making it a must buy if you were a fan of the original and have some points to spare.
  2. If you are a fan of the genre or are just looking for an excellent arcade experience, you honestly can't go wrong with AH2.
  3. This pedestrian offering is a little too sterile, a little too similar, a little too short yet somehow a little too long. [Aug 2008, p.99]
