"Bro..
Did you here about this new awesome game called Broforce? Bro its awesome. Remember that time we Beastmode'd down at the Gym. well, grab your brotein Shake, and make sure you have enough Bromino Acids. Cuz I'm taking you to war. Bro bono style."
It seems that the age of nostalgia is upon us, where everything either needs to be from a time long past or forgotten, or must look the part. Broforce accomplishes this with its beautiful art style of old school 16-bit graphics.
"But Bro, graphics are king bro! i gotta be able to see my Broceps in the game, gotta beast mode that Sh*t!"
Broforce chose the art style for one other reason, one very open and thought out reason, that also makes it extremely chaotic, the entire world is destructible. for the better and for the worse.
a bit guy is in your way, shoot out the ground below him.
"Bro?"
Cant make that long jump? make a new platform above you.
"Bro..!"
Friend pissing you off in game, blow up the explosive barrels around him.
"Bro you have me at bro!"
The game itself is very simple, from controls to goals in game. you can move left or right, Jump, Sprint, main attack and secondary attack along with a browable (Throwable). the purpose is to free the world of dictatorship and evil baddies including the devil, by travelling from left side of screen to the right, eventually facing bosses along the way, bosses with the very thought filled and emotional driven names like Terrorcrawler, Humungocrawler, Conrad Stonebanks, Terrorkopter and the genius Stealth Tank.
"Bro, what about the bros?"
With great Bros comes greater Bros. you start off with a random bro, and as you save prisoners of war, you unlock new bros, all random in order, all beast mode.
32 Bros to date, ranging from the Brominator, and Boondock Bros, Mr. Anderbro, and Bronan the Brobarian.
Every bro is unique, each bringing their own beast mode to the action. Each bringing chaos in their trails. each and every bro is amazing, awesome and fun to play as...
Except MacBrover... him and his damn makeshift explosive ruin the fun for everyone. in the funniest ways possible.
i have had gas tanks explode and shoot me off screen, barrels blow up below me sending my to my untimely doom.
Ultimately speaking, this isn't a game to invest your every waking hour in. there isn't some deep meaning meant to present itself over the course of the campaign. this is a game about blowing sh*t up and saving the world in the process. its the game you jump onto for 10 minutes at a time, to get some much needed laughs after a long day of work. its the game your entire family can sit down and enjoy, with single player, couch co-op and online, the possibilities are endless in ways to experience and enjoy the game.
The game is currently free through Sony's PS+ for the remainder of March. and it is a game i suggest everyone try at least once. It'll make ya feel great, it'll make you feel awesome, but most importantly, it'll make Bros.
and Bro's... they stick around for life.

I enjoyed the article however I would always run it through a grammar or spell-check service as it suffers quite terribly from poor grammar usage in many places throughout the review.
A great deal of potential is to be found here, be careful with proper grammar and it's correct application and I sense a fantastic critical mind which can gain a great deal of success in our the games industry.
Broforce was significantly more entertaining than I'd anticipated, even though I was convinced that I would have a seizure at any given moment.
I agree with the score and have put in alot of hours in co-op play, playing with my girl and my son. It has its performance issue but it didn't hinder me from enjoying it.
