Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days Review
Reality Aint Pretty, and apparently its not Fun Either.
Short Version: Its amazing how little effort went into this sequel to the notorious and mediocre Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. A unique visual style cannot mask a boring, aimless, and insultingly short story (4-5 hours) that has one of the worst endings in recent memory. The best part of the game is still the fragile alliance multiplayer mode but even that is just a carry over from the original game back in 2007. This game is just plain Lazy and doesn’t care in the slightest to offer anything new or even interesting.
What you’ll Like:
• The hand-held digital camera style visuals lend to a unique realism.
• There’s lots of shooting if your a fan of constant shootouts without any breaks or story bits.
• Best Part: Undercover Cop and Fragile Alliance multiplayer modes (both nearly the same thing).
Aside from a Helicopter ride, this the most unique feature. Ew.
What you’ll Hate:
• Insultingly short game length at 4-5 hours.
• An ending that makes the whole story feel pointless – probably setting up some DLC B.S.
• Why are shotguns better than any other type of weapon? No grenades?
• Boring drab locations that feel nearly the same the entire game.
• Stiff and plastic looking character models with average graphics made worse by intentional video artifacts.
• Some serious opportunities were passed up by not exploring Lynch’s Psychotic tendencies as a unique game mechanic.
• Worst Part: Realizing that naked over weight men running through the streets is the “unique feature” of this game as opposed to a full weapon customization or more varied mission types.
Final Verdict:
3/10
Terrible!

Dont worry, the days of COD reigning supreme are coming to an end. No longer can they carry their game with multiplayer alone, and when the more dedicated gamer’s start to leave the franchise, the casuals will too over time.
A game is made on its single player in my opinion. There are very, very few games that are the exception to the rule. Counterstrike for example, but even that was a mod of HL.

man your so right, just watched the ign review and he said there were many things wrong with it, but that if you like crime thrillers you’ll like it, then still gave it a 7. A 7 to me is a good game, somethings like they describe is a 5 or lower, rent it and make your own choice, not call it an above average game. Definitely don’t trust them lol, keep it up JOE!
