    While not a massive leap forward for the genre as a whole, Payback² makes for a seriously fun distraction if you enjoy always-changing mindless action.

    Load it up, go mental with a machine gun during your coffee break, turn it off and forget. Sounds like pretty good escapism to me.

    In spite of its lack of coherency, Payback 2 HD is still an immensely entertaining experience.

    Eschewing the typical criminal storyline that gave purpose to GTA's mayhem, Payback 2 HD simply provides you with a series of bite-sized situations that put you into heart-pumping action sequences meant to keep your adrenaline flowing.

    Payback 2 HD is a lackluster sequel to one of 2009's most impressive iOS games.
