About Guns, Gore and Cannoli 2
Crazy Monkey Studios dropped Guns, Gore and Cannoli 2 on March 2, 2018. This sequel picks up fifteen years after the first game when Vinnie Cannoli survived a massacre in Thugtown. Now loose ends from that past are dragging him into the European theater of World War 2. You play as Vinnie again in this run and gun platformer filled with arcade action and body horror. The game launched on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Mac. It brings back the chaotic energy of the original while adding a darker war setting. The tone stays silly despite the heavy violence and historical backdrop.
Gameplay
You sprint through levels while spraying enemies with machine guns and throwing knives. The core loop involves running forward, jumping over gaps, and shredding waves of zombies or soldiers. Vinnie can perform wall jumps and double jumps to reach high areas quickly. You pick up weapons like shotguns and flamethrowers that chew through groups of foes instantly. Bodies explode into chunks when hit with enough firepower, fitting the gore theme perfectly. The game offers single player campaigns plus co-op modes for split screen play. Local multiplayer lets you team up with a friend to clear stages together. Control schemes feel tight on consoles while keyboard users get precise movement options.
What Players Think
Players on PlayPile rate this title at an average of 76.8 out of 100 based on 27 IGDB submissions. The community vibe leans heavily toward chaotic fun with a distinct appreciation for over-the-top violence. Average playtime hovers around 12 hours for a standard run through the campaign. Completion rates show that most users finish the main story but skip optional challenges. Review snippets frequently mention the satisfying explosion physics and the humorous dialogue between Vinnie and his partner. Some critics note the difficulty spikes in later levels frustrate casual players. The split screen mode gets high marks for local couch gaming sessions on Switch and PC.
PlayPile's Take
This game is worth buying if you like fast-paced shooters with a heavy dose of blood and humor. The $19.99 price point feels fair given the length and co-op features. You will unlock 28 achievements for completing specific challenges like finishing levels without taking damage. It is not for players who want deep storylines or serious historical accuracy. The controls are responsive but the graphics remain simple arcade style throughout. Grab a controller and blast through enemies with friends if you have space on your couch. Skip this one if you prefer slow tactical shooters or hate cartoonish gore.
