Because these baddies are so big and strong, Shank will need to use the environment against them and wait for the right moment to chop off an arm or impale them with a sword. The familiar (yet not derivative) gameplay shows up again every time player face one of the game's boss characters. It may not be some big-budget 3D action experience, but Shank definitely gets the chaos of the combat right. Shank has a surprising amount of moves and weapons, keeping the action fresh as he kills everybody on the screen. Because he has three weapons at his disposal at the touch of a button, Shank can easily string together attacks and keep his combo meter high. Like God of War, the combat is pulled together by an exciting combo system. He also packs a gun, which allows our hero to deal with enemies on the other side of the screen. Shank has two melee buttons, a regular attack using his iconic knives and a more powerful attack with one of the many alternate weapons - sword, chainsaw, etc. Although the action is pulling from classic games, the gameplay feels a lot like Sony's God of War franchise. The art is straight out of the comic books, offering hand-drawn animation that is dripping with tiny details (and gallons of blood). The game has a very specific 2D style that draws influence from all kinds of classic 8- and 16-bit brawlers from the past. Along the way he'll pick up new weapons and get to the bottom of this twisted conspiracy. It's an over-the-top action game where players slice and dice their way through hundreds of nameless goons and take revenge on the jerks that kidnapped (or worse?) Shank's lovely wife. Shank is the PSN's newest 2D brawler, sort of a cross between God of War, Comix Zone and Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill series. They traded in cute graphics for blood and guts comic book fun. After playing Shank I was shocked at not only how exciting the whole experience was, but also how gruesome it is. Seeing how much I loved that adorable mind-bender, I was excited to see what was next for this independent upstart. When I last checked in with Vancouver-based Klei Entertainment, they were feeding PC and Xbox Live Arcade users a delicious puzzler named Eets.
