After beating the game, I'm going to have to agree with most of this.
It was still fun, and the music is rad, but Goddamn I just want to run around and half the levels it's impossible because guns-n-windows.

The Story felt like they were going for Pulp Fiction, where it jumps around like crazy and events are defined by things that happen before and after them.
As in the movie, we're only given a glimpse of each character, just enough to "know" them, but then we're sent off on a new adventure with someone else.
And as I said though, that other character often explain the leadup and aftermath of other character's levels.
Now, I would have been okay with that, I liked Pulp Fiction. Some characters are just going to get fucked in the end.
Except the ending of HlM2 is basically "Rocks fall, everyone dies" levels of "Yo I'm done with this shit, peace out."
Fortunately, there's going to be a level editor, which is going to be rad.
Maybe I'll be able to actually use Fist-Kills and not get fucked by random shotgun windows.
