Chris Buffa (Modojo): Gun Bros 2 is all about twin-stick shooting, and lots of it. Enemies with names like Pus Titan, Broliminator and The Maullusk crowd the screen, along with a T.O.O.L. army of minions, and you shred these creeps with a variety of high-powered weapons, or maybe you jump into a Honey Badger tank and unleash red laser death upon swarms of baddies. Regardless of how you approach this free-to-play sequel, you're bound to enjoy the blood-splattering, explosions and most importantly, co-op with a friend, at least until the grim reality sets in that the best possible gear comes at a price.
TouchGen: I personally think ‘Gun Bros 2’ can be described not as an unsubtle arcade shoot-em-up where two muscular brutes with enormous biceps and small heads blast the snot out of everything that moves with a range of ridiculous weaponry, but as an accurate videogame representation of what’s going on in most gamer’s heads. We may act like we want depth of story line character and all that jazz, but what we’re really thinking about is oiled-up bodybuilders shooting holes in things with M16s. Why do you think Call of Duty sells so well?
Touch Arcade: It's been over two years since Glu's Gun Bros [Free] landed on iOS with a bang. A dual-stick shooter infused with freemium elements, Gun Bros' gameplay style was somewhat novel at the time and would be a precursor to the way iOS games would monetize in the coming years. Fast forward to today, and Gun Bros 2 [Free] looks to update and improve upon its predecessor in an environment that is vastly different than before. Offering more guns, more bros, and a streamlined experience for earning experience and currency, Gun Bros 2 is an enjoyable shooter, if you can get past the inevitable paywall.
PadGadget: They may not admit to it, but a gamer’s favorite feature when killing lots of things is the ability to collect loot. Picking up random, rare drops when in the middle of a firefight is like a drug. That’s why hardcore gamers will go back to a dungeon raid over and over again.
