Cons
Con Story is pretty bland
The story does not really stand out and is a weak point of the game, though being a side scrolling platforming shooter/brawler the story is not really integral to the gameplay itself. Shank 2 takes on some heavy storied elements but sadly does not really take advantage of them and instead tends to just go over the top, which usually just falls flat.
Con Local co-op only
There is no online co-op meaning players will have to play at the same location on the same PC in order to play co-op.
