Guns, Gore and Cannoli 2 is a fun, throwback side scroller that places you in the wingtips of Vinnie Cannoli, a sterotypical mobster who is having a bad week. The first title saw him shooting up the zombies plaguing the city he lives in, Thugdown. When we catch up with Vinnie, it's been 15 years since he encountered the zombie hordes, and WWII is in full swing. Now, there is a new, Nazi-mob boss type character rising to power, and although the Thugtown Massacre is over a decade in the past, some loose ends begin lurching their way to the present, causing Vinnie to reload and get back to work.
We enjoyed both games quite a bit (see the review of the first game here, and the review for the sequel here) and the Switch version gets some good stuff, like a refined player movement system, including 360° aiming, which is a big difference over the first title, a bunch of WW2 themed levels, new guns and more types of Nazis, monsters and bosses. You can play as Vinnie in the solo campaign, or have up to three friends jump in at any time to play together while fighting through hordes of Nazis, zombies, monster, gangsters, cops, soldiers, tanks, submarines, you name it.
The Switch version arrives August 2, 2018, with a PS4 and Xbox version expected to follow.
