Jump Back into the Action with Assault Heroes 2, Exploding onto Xbox Live Arcade This Wednesday

Assault Heroes 2, sequel to the award-winning action extravaganza, Assault Heroes, ramps up the excitement on Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday, May 14, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. GMT (1:00 a.m. PDT).

Assault Heroes 2 reveals that the original enemy in Assault Heroes is merely a pawn of a more sinister force, which players must now seek out and destroy. Armed with stronger weaponry and the ability to hi-jack more powerful enemy units, players must prepare to face relentless enemies and outrageous bosses in climactic battles, including an all-out skirmish in outer space.

In the sequel, players can experience the full fury of war outside of the safety of their vehicle with even more intense on-foot gameplay, where increased firepower and the new dodge roll feature are necessary to survive. Players can choose to fight alone or battle with a friend using the enhanced two-player cooperative mode. Either way, players will travel through diverse and interactive environments on land and in space to overcome the newest enemy and save mankind.

Developed by Sierra Online, Assault Heroes 2 will be available worldwide for 800 Microsoft Points and is rated T for Teen by the ESRB. For more details on Assault Heroes 2 please visit:
