Shank like ya wanna!
First off... if you've not watched the video, do it.... ok, good... That saved me the trouble of telling you how frikkin amazing the animation is in this game! It's roughly 2gb, and for good reason. Most of that must be artwork. The game itself oozes style and top quality presentation (like cut scenes being presented in a picture in picture). However.. it's not all rosey in Shank's world, especially when it comes to gameplay. It gets repetetive quite quickly, and once you've picked up a few of the early weapons then there's very little incentive, or even desire, to want to try out the other weapons. That said, what it does, it does do fairly well. The only problem I'd say is that sometimes "walking through" the enemies can feel a tad weird, but so long as you stay on your toes, and keep shankin' then it's not that big a deal.
