Shank has an excellent soundtrack. A real gem. And they released it for free.

Liking the whole soundtrack without actually playing through the game is pretty rare for me. I like the game too, but wasn't enough to keep my attention beyond the first few levels.

I really liked the art-style of the first one, so I'm glad they kept that. Hopefully they added some variety to the gameplay.

Didn't care much for the first. Had a weird, Flash-gamey feel to it. Doesn't look like this is doing anything to win over da haterz.

Well, hopefully this one turns out good. I'm willing to give it a chance. The first one was fun to play for the first hour or so, but then it got pretty gosh darn boring. Hopefully the second one will vary things enough to stay fun throughout.

I bought the original for $5. The first hour was cool. After that it became one of the least enjoyable games I have ever played this generation.

Am I alone in liking the first Shank? I thought it was pretty great, glad they're making a sequel.

I hope they listen to the criticisms from the first game. It was okay but got stale super quick.

Shank 2? More like Shank Fu!

First was a bit disappointing for the price, hopefully this will be more fleshed out.

Yeah, the first one quickly lost its charm. However, the checkpointless hard mode where you really had to exploit the pounce and grenades was a lot of fun when it wasn't being totally frustrating (getting shot over insta-death pits and the part with the fucking rockets falling from the sky).

And yes, you did have two shanks in the first game.

Yup that's how I started to feel about it. I wanted to keep liking but it got stale and tedious way fast. I just couldn't finish it.

I bought Shank without reading reviews first. Not making that mistake this time. That game was tedious and impossibly frustrating, regardless of difficulty.

Shank 1 had great combat for a 2D side scroller, but it got repetitive quickly.

Despite the reviews, I loved the first Shank. To me, it never go repetitive.

The first one wasn't life changing or anything but I enjoyed it. I'll probably pick this up.

I thought Shank was okay. The combo system wasn't as open as I'd hoped. Hopefully it's better this time.

I tried the demo for the first one on PC. I couldn't get into it, the controls for me were terrible.
