When I played this as a child I fell inlove, it's so fun and enjoyable. The newest dlc adds so much extra fun and I love playing it with my friends :3
Its great fun, the combat is simple but works really well, there are plenty of characters to unlock, and the game does not take itself too seriously, the only problem is the online multiplayer, which is rubbish because of the lag... Apart from that, its a brilliant beat em up and is still fun to play today.
came back after PBP dropped. first character i ever beat insane mode with was my own ♥♥♥♥♥♥ drawing of dallas from payday 2. 100/5 stars
