There have been two fantastic Xbox Live Arcade releases this holiday season. Hopefully following in the path will be Assault Heroes. Assault Heroes is this week Xbox Live Arcade game. The game costs 800 Microsoft Points and was developed by Wanako Studios.

In “Assault Heroes,” gamers take on the role of the only surviving member of an elite special forces unit searching for a secret underground lab. Gamers may take on the mission alone or fight side-by-side with a friend in the two-player cooperative mode. “Assault Heroes” puts players into a heavily armed 4X4, maneuverable speed boat or trusty military-issue footwear, blasting their way through enemy-infested territory while being assaulted by waves of formidable enemies with unrelenting attacks.

GAME FEATURES:
