Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond is a downloadable video game for the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. It is a sequel to Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard. Unlike its predecessor which was a 3D shooter, this game will be a 2D side-scroller in order to evoke the feel of a retro game. The player will have the ability to use upgraded weapons with limited ammo. Players will also be able to use shoulder buttons to enter precision aim mode. Levels will contain boxes allowing the player to power up. The game will feature three difficulty modes: Wussy, Damn This is Hard, and Fuck This Shit, the most difficult mode, in which enemies will be able to kill players in just one hit. The game will also contain a two player co-op mode, in which the second player will control Hazard's partner Dexter Dare. Weapons available to the player will include flamethrowers, shotguns, grenades, plasma rifles and ice guns. The player will be able to deflect missiles the enemy fires at them by shooting at them. The game will also feature a large amount of graphic violence, unlike it's predecessor.

This satirical shooter is fun, but it never takes advantage of the potential of its parodies.

What failed at retail is a pleasant surprise as a download.

3.8
Self-deprecation and a few humorous moments don't make up for the out-dated controls.
