Re: The Official 'Shank'' Thread [PSN] [XBLA] [PC]

Just beat Cassandra and Denny. I guess an hour more left before I complete the SP campaign. Also completed around 4-5 chapters in the co-op campaign. Why the hell don't they have the option to enable subtitles? People who have played it on 360 or PS3, can you guys check if there was an option for subtitles in it?

I love this game. Klei Entertainment has done an absolutely splendid job. They really have a bright future ahead. Wish more games came out like this.

Wow! What a game! Money well spent I say.

Played the SP campaign all over again. :) Agreed it was easier the second time round, but the fun was still as much.

Lucky you Ethan_Hunt that you have someone to play co-op with. :)

Oh and I loved the soundtrack too. Brilliant stuff.

On a side note, I am enjoying Scott Pilgrim Vs The World too. Retro is in I guess. :P

Indeed. Co-op is so much fun. I just wish they made these kind of games more often. Back in the NES days, we used to always used to get 2 player co-op games, which is a rarity these days. The soundtrack is kick-ass. Suits the whole western backdrop of the game.

OMG! I wanted to play this game so badly. I tried the demo on the PS3 and boy it was really tough, but loads of fun. I hope Ubisoft releases this on the PC.

EDIT: Completed the SP campaign. Total time clocked: 2:57:42. Awesome game, Kudos Klei Entertainment.
 
Re: The Official 'Shank'' Thread [PSN] [XBLA] [PC]

Started the game and just defeated the fake Butcher. :cool2:

The graphics are just awesome and too good for a 2D platform. Excellent soundtrack and cool platforming makes this one, the best arcade game this year.
 
Re: The Official 'Shank'' Thread [PSN] [XBLA] [PC]

Finally finished Shank. :cool2:

And yes, it is superbb! Violent, brutal and fast-paced action, enjoyable platforming, fun bosses kept my glued to it from start, till the end.

This is the best Arcade title I have played for this year. Kudos Klei Entertainment.

I'll rate it 9/10.

An awesome game indeed. I am stuck on the boss battle with Cassandra. I think its just old school beat her up, right? No other strategy I guess.

BTW, I had my cousin over at my place yesterday. Played some Co-op with him. Bloody awesome with all the new combos and attacks.

Just dodge her sword slashes and use the Chainsaw whenever possible. It's basically, hit and run technique that you need to follow.

Ohh ok, thanks. I ll try that when I get home. I sometimes wish, I did not have to work... :(

I was stuck too when on one of my attempts, I accidentally found this : I just needed one move to kill the biatch :P Once she was close to me (almost standing next me), all I did was hold dodge key and move left and right of her inflicting damage to her everytime. She did not even attack me :lol:
 
Re: The Official 'Shank'' Thread [PSN] [XBLA] [PC]

Started the co-op campaign yesterday and boy the boss battles were a lot harder this time. Requires a lot of patience and proper co-ordination with the second player. With co-op, the two players can execute some combo moves such as twin grapple and the double jump. Health revival is possible if one of them loses his health completely. If that happens, the other player can revive him and the other player gains almost half of his health bar. it's a lot more fun with co-op and the co-op campaign is essentially a prequel to the single player campaign. Requires 2 controllers though. :P

Faced the biker boys - Dusty and Denny, Butcher and the SWAT leader. It took us almost a dozen tries to beat these guys. Requires a hell lot of co-ordination between the 2 players and health revival most importantly. If one of them loses health, revive him quickly. And when you are at it, you are vulnerable to getting hit so watch out!

Edit: Completed it. It was fun. The last boss was easy though. Like I said before, the co-op campaign sets the stage for the SP campaign so it is worth playing if you can manage to find another player with a controller. :)
 
i started playing shank yesterday and progressed to the 3rd stage (i.e. the stage after the jeep and the butcher)

now when i started playing shank again, it starts from the beginning

how do i load the already saved stages?
 
From the chapter selection screen. Once you complete a level, the chapter will be unlocked to play at any point in the future.
 
Started It. Was a bit bored of ME2. Left it off some time back Playing it again.
