Assault Heroes 2 assaults the XBLA May 14th

Wanako Studios' Assault Heroes has garnered a pretty solid following since its December 2006 release to the Xbox Live Arcade, so one could only expect the Assault Heroes 2 sequel to be just as successful. Especially since Wanako improved upon the explosive formula by adding the ability to hijack vehicles, encounter new enemies and experience new co-op gameplay. So, those fanboys who just can't wait to blow things up will be excited to hear that the 800 Microsoft point Assault Heroes 2 has just been confirmed for a May 14th release to the XBLA. Get ready and get explosive!

Is there blood and brown in this game. Because I only buy games with a sufficient amount of blood and brown.

Wow! This is awesome news! I certainly have fond memories of buying Assault Heroes, finding the on-line co-op completely broken and having Sierra take a year to do anything about it. I hope Assault Heroes 2 delivers more of the same.

Should also mention the on-foot stuff is no longer tight corridors - it's more expansive.

It's exactly the same as Assault Heroes, only bigger, and the ability to take over enemy tanks and helicopters, too.
