In the latest XBLA in Brief, we check out Assault Heroes 2, the sequel to one of Xbox Live Arcade's best action titles. The sequel takes the foundations of the first game and adds new weapons and vehicles into the mix. The on-foot gameplay has been dramatically improved as well. Check out the video and find out whether or not Assault Heroes 2 belongs in your XBLA library.

I feel as if I should get this game for free seeing as half of the original didn't work for well over a year (multiplayer). And when they did patch it it still didn't work.
The question I have on my mind is whether or not the online multi player actually works. I have the first one and was never able to find a online game. Regardless of that the first was still fun and I do think I'll be getting the 2nd.
I love these video mini-reviews. Great job, Richard!
My only criticism, which I've seen mentioned before, is why don't you guys buy the full game and do a legit review? Why review the download? You guys must have some sort of budget given to you by your overlords. How cheap are they that they won't shell out the money to compensate you for the games you blog about, play and review? You need to make a business case that them paying for all of the games for you guys will make the site better, which will get you more hits which will make you more in advertising.

I think I'll get this game, Castle Crashers is too far away...

Was that 2 player same console co-op as well?
Darkharmony @ May 16th 2008 12:18AM
Nah, co-op online multi-player over live never seemed to work for me on the first game.

Please get rid of the X3F Logo, or only display it at the beginning or end.
Outinthedark @ May 16th 2008 9:00AM
Or make it smaller...or ghost the watermark like well everyone...
I noticed that too on this video...still good video just the logo got in the way sometimes...doesn't help with the "powered by" text too...

We're working on that. Believe me, we've noticed it too. It's handled on Viddler's side of things though, so it could take a bit.

I must have been one of like 5 people who never had an issue playing the original online from the start.
Neuromancer @ May 16th 2008 7:04AM
Yeah same here, I think it dropped a connection once between me and my friend during the entire playthrough but that was it.
Still I'm not really ready for a sequel, after beating the first one I never went back to play it again.

This one must be for the PC, too. Notice the keyboard mappings for special weapons in the on-screen pop-ups.
