better than the first game, my only gripe is the high difficulty jump, other than that with enough patience, Its alot of fun to be had, With more costumes & 1 new official character you meet in campaign, The survival mode is a fun mode to play hours with friends.

A worthy sequel. The animations and artwork are significantly improved and taken to the next level. A new gameplay mode: Survival, adds new additions of replayability. The game is also a lot more difficult compared to the first, so if you're looking for a challenge, this is right up your ally. It makes me wish that a third installment gets made at some point, but, for now, Shank 2 is a great sequel to an already great game.
