Originally conceived for the 2008 TIGSource.com 'Bootleg Demake' competition, Gang Garrison 2 is a free multiplayer 'demake' of Valve's Team Fortress 2. With all 9 classes, many different TF2-inspired environments, and fast-paced, team-based, multiplayer gameplay represented, GG2 is the premier TF2 tribute/parody/alternative. Gang Garrison 2 presents the player with 9 unique classes to use in frenetic, cooperative multiplayer action in a stylish and unique 8-bit style. Battle with your friends or others you encounter online through a whole range of vibrant maps; TF2 maps reimagined in 2D as well as a multitude of maps with all sorts of different looks and settings, all of which have been dreamed up and constructed by members of our community.
Gang Garrison 2, a Team Fortress 2 demake fangame, is a fun, arcade-style multiplayer platforming shooter that even still has a competitive play style next to its silly self-mocking humor.
While there are some minor problems with the game, almost all of them are because of the people playing it not understanding what's really going on with it. For example, a lot of people host servers on low-end machines, which causes the matches on them to run in a stuttery slow-motion, or for everything to happen seconds after people do it. Another thing is people not understanding the point of the game, or not understanding any higher level tactics. While these people some times happen to ruin public matches, the competitive scene is still full of good players and servers running on workable machines.
The gameplay perfectly meshes with the art style and synthetic music to express something unique, that's something I find adorable. In fact, some things that were originally kinks in the engine ended up becoming part of the game itself, which made it more unique than the developers originally expected. The rough, electronic whining timbre of the game's music reinforces the demake, arcade feeling surrounding the whole of the game. The game is virtually perfect for what it is and what surrounds it.
