    This is not the best side scrolling shooter, but it's a good one. I didn't know much about this game until I got it for sale. It feels pretty good to play, and while I'm a bit tired of zombies, it's not too bad here. It's simple enough to play, but it can get hard time to time. Overall, it's a good game that you can also play with friends.

    I bought this from Strictly Limited Games just as a collector's piece not having any idea what it was about, and I was quite surprised that it ended up being a solid side-scrolling shooter that took me back to my childhood (although my childhood games had a lot less gangster brains).

    Basically you play a gangster shooting his way through a zombie-infested town, going through the streets, sewers and clubs. It's a standard 1995 layout; go left to right, fight the same type of 10 different enemies and a couple of bosses then you're done. However, the levels contain enough variety and are just long (or short) enough to keep things interesting.

    Even on easy, I found the difficulty in parts to be a bit tough, but the checkpoint system is frequent and forgiving so it really only took a couple of tries on each hard section to move on. The game is also quite short at only 9 levels, but I feel that any longer and it would have overstayed its welcome, unless it was to introduce more enemy or weapon types.

    Considering this is a 'simple' indie game, the character design, voice acting and gameplay are all incredibly smooth and it makes for a fun couple of hours on the couch.

    The only real issues I had with it were the aiming was quite rigid where sometimes I died because I couldn't aim my gun diagonally, or because my guy would start to shoot down as I ran forwards. But these are relatively small issues that didn't ruin the game for me.

    It's got couch co-op too, but not having any friends around I wasn't able to test it. Considering how much fun I had on my own though I'd imagine it's even better with a friend. Highly recommend.    … Expand

    GG&C is not original in any way but if you simply want to spend a pleasant couple of hours shooting people and burning zombies (preferably in co-op) while enjoying great hand-drawn visuals and unconstrained humor, it’s a really good pick. [02/2016, p.50]

    Overall Guns, Gore & Cannoli was a nice surprise once I got into it. I could certainly feel similarities to Metal Slug and other side scrolling shooters. The setting is interesting, art direction and soundtrack is unique and suits the game well.
