The film industry often celebrates the contributions of international filmmakers like Sergio Leone and John Woo, yet the cinematic universe beyond America remains somewhat underappreciated. Enter Slaps and Beans 2, a retro platforming gem that pays homage to the beloved Italian film duo, Terence Hill and Bud Spencer. If these names ring a bell, you might recall them from their iconic English-language film, "They Call Me Trinity." However, their influence spans much further, captivating European audiences with their crime capers and westerns throughout the 60s and 70s. Slaps and Beans 2 captures the essence of their work with a globe-trotting adventure.
In Slaps and Beans 2, players can step into the shoes of Hill and Spencer in a co-op focused retro beat-'em-up. The game takes you from the bustling streets of modern America to the rugged landscapes of the Wild West. Here, you'll use Hill's agility and Spencer's brute strength to fight through waves of enemies, executing combined attacks that showcase the duo's unique chemistry.
Let's take a detour—much like the comedic duo themselves, Slaps and Beans 2 offers more than just brawls. You'll encounter puzzles that demand teamwork between the agile Hill and the strong Spencer to overcome various obstacles. Additionally, the game spices things up with a variety of fun minigames. Whether you're playing high-stakes card games against gangsters, smashing airboats, or engaging in a friendly match of Jai Alai, these detours add a playful dimension to the brawling action, mirroring the light-hearted spirit of Hill and Spencer's films.
