alot of people liked the first one, but me and my brother played it not too long ago in a humble bundle, and hated it. The controls felt off, and the bosses were such a pain in the butt it sucked the fun out of it. Sounds to have the same problems this time around too.

The controls have been finely tuned and make a world of difference. The boss fights, although humorous, still do not mesh well with the flow of the game. They are not game breaking, but simply feel out of place.

Nice review, Locke. I'd like to pick up both Shank games if they ever go on sale cheap enough, but the boss fights make me hesitant to pay full price.

Nuts. I felt like Shank was three-quarters of the way towards nirvanic awesomeness and just fell short because of rote and frustrating boss fights, especially in its co-op mode, which was a cakewalk until that nightmare pair of bosses who ram you.

Sad to hear Shank 2 might not be much of an improvement at all.
