About Guns, Gore and Cannoli 2
Guns, Gore and Cannoli 2 is a chaotic action-platformer sequel from Crazy Monkey Studios, released in 2018. It blends over-the-top violence with goofy humor, pitting you as Vinnie Cannoli in 1944 Europe. The game leans into fast-paced gunplay, platforming challenges, and co-op mayhem, with split-screen support for two players. It’s a throwback to classic run-and-gun titles, drenched in cartoonish gore and absurd dialogue. You’ll fight through WWII-inspired levels, shoot enemies, and fling explosive cannoli. The vibe is loud, messy fun for fans of arcade chaos. Available on PS4, PC, Xbox One, Switch, and Mac.
Gameplay
The core loop revolves around running, shooting, and dodging in side-scrolling levels. You switch between twin-stick shooting and platforming, often mid-combat. Missions include tank battles, stealthy ambushes, and explosive set pieces. Co-op is a highlight, with split-screen allowing two players to cover flanks or trigger environmental hazards together. Controls are responsive but occasionally clunky, especially during tight platforming sections. Levels mix linear firefights with collectibles and hidden paths, encouraging replayability. The game’s charm comes from its over-the-top kill animations, like enemies disintegrating into confetti. Expect to replay sections due to difficulty spikes, but the absurd humor keeps it engaging.
What Players Think
Community reception is mixed but leans positive. The game holds a 76.8/100 on IGDB, based on 27 ratings. Fans praise the co-op split-screen and ridiculous humor, though some critique dated visuals and inconsistent difficulty. Average playtime clocks in at around 8-10 hours, with 35% of players completing 100% of content. Community moods highlight enjoyment of chaotic gunfights and local multiplayer but note occasional frustration with checkpoint placement. One review calls it “a love letter to 90s arcade brawlers,” while others cite repetitive level design. Achievement hunters report 40+ collectibles, with 68% completing the main story.
PlayPile's Take
Guns, Gore and Cannoli 2 is a cult pick for local co-op lovers and fans of goofy, gory action. It lacks polish compared to modern titles but thrives on nostalgia and shared chaos. Price varies, but it’s often available on sale for under $20. With 40+ achievements and split-screen support, it’s worth trying if you’ve got a friend to play with. Skip it if you prefer polished single-player experiences, this is a messy, fun relic best played in short bursts.
