    Guns, Gore and Cannoli might only last a couple of hours, bit it can be picked up for a low price of $9.99, and I’d highly recommend any fan of the genre to check this game out immediately. Godfather + Metal Slug + Zombies = Guns, Gore, and Cannoli.

    You are looking at a few hours of pure fun. Despite being short, this game is worthy of every minute of your time.

    Looks like Crazy Monkey Studios sacrificed quantity for quality: Guns, Gore & Cannoli lasts only four hours and doesn’t have alternative modes (besides coop in the same campaign), but the time you’ll spend with it will be a blast. [June 2015, p.85]

    Guns, Gore & Cannoli is a short experience, which sadly lasts about two hours. It goes straight to the point, but fades away too quickly, leaving dust and nothing else.

    The action is engaging and challenging, largely due to massive mobs and a versatile list of enemy types. If you can live with its admittedly minor flaws, this run-and-gun game is worth your time and money.

    By not breaking the mould, Guns, Gore & Cannoli is nothing but a safe enjoyable experience and well worth your time.

    The exaggerated voice acting fits perfectly with the tone of the title and the story is surprisingly entertaining too. There’s never a dull moment in Guns, Gore & Cannoli, and it ends just at the right time too.

    Guns, Gore and Cannoli is quite an entertaining side-scrolling shooter platformer. The 1920s mob theme, the undead, and the simple yet solid mechanics make it quite enjoyable and you'll have a blast going through the story either alone or with friends locally.

    In the end, Guns, Gore & Cannoli is a pretty good side-scrolling shoot-em-up.

    Guns, Gore & Cannoli is a fresh 2D side scrolling action that knows how to entertain with his good variety and gameplay, similar to that of immortal classic like Metal Slug.

    Guns, Gore & Cannoli is a fun run 'n gun but it suffers from certain design issues that could have made it a superb 2D action platformer.

    Fun and entertaining, Guns Gore & Cannoli delivers a good taste of the old days shooters. Its problems are length and no extra things to do once the experience ends.

    While the star is undoubtedly the cartoony art design with its hand drawn backgrounds and animations that make you feel like watching a mafia show on Adult Swim the mechanics are as conservative as can be.

    Its a simple and fun scrolling shooter, but its lasting appeal is indeed quite short.

    A nice run 'n' gun shooter that offers some well-placed action sequences and 4 player local co-op gameplay. If the campaign was larger and online play was supported, then surely the game would be an offer that you couldn't refuse.

    If the studio behind this game could have pushed the idea further, it might have become a must-have. Still, it's a very solid game, particularly played with a friend, and a good choice if you're looking for a Metal Slug-like experience.

    If the one-liners and violence spilled by Vinnie showed a bit more innovation, there would be a reason to cheer. It did not happen so all we have is a good game recycling things you can find elsewhere.

    A very ordinary shooter, where you will be deluged by hordes of undead from all sides. Although it is wrapped in nice graphics and injected with funny messages, its monotonous content will make you yawn sooner or later. This gangster zombie humoresque could be a top-notch if only they try better.

    An awesome cartoonish visual but a little fairly and simple gun and run. The low price and co-op with other three players makes Gun, Gore & Cannoli a worth try.

    1. The campaign could be longer (12 levels)
    2. The controls are keyboard or controller only (no mouse aiming,no shooting up or diagonally either).
    3. The scrolling is really bad (if you are retreating,it moves quickly back,so you cant see enemies).

    Good and funny arcade shooter. If you like Metal Slug or Shoot Many Robots,this game is for you.    … Full Review »
