It's a terrible idea and makes the game look utterly terrible as well, totally pulling the player out of the environment. This brings me to the stylised camcorder graphics of the game, it doesn't work for me, I can actually get motion sickness from this one and no other game bothers me like this at all. I found nothing that I hadn't seen before in other games and I know IO Interactive is better than this. The story is also pretty clichéd and typical of this kind of game, it struggles in places and the pacing is way off. Cover works fairly well though it seems that Kane and Lynch have a really hard time actually using cover, and they can be hit even when crouched behind it. The weapons also feel weak they don't actually seem to have bothered with a decent sniper rifle for instance. Where the AI is ninja enough and psychic to tell where you are if you're spotted by just one guard.
The controls are pretty solid and the whole thing actually feels decent enough when you're in the thick of the action, it's just that the action is pretty much the same-old same-old rinse and repeat, with nothing to really break it up, apart from the odd and poorly implemented stealth sections. However, even the pretty unique multiplayer (heist gameplay) and single player (Arcade version) of the heists isn't enough to actually lift the game from where it stands at the moment. Yes, there's multiplayer, there's also split-screen co-op, which is a great inclusion.
#Kane and lynch 2 dog days reviews full
Now don't get me wrong, there's some fun to be had with Dog Days, but it's short fun and for a full priced retail game this 4-5 hour campaign isn't going to float anyone's boat, not when the actual game is basically rinse and repeat generic boring 3rd person shooting with very little to differentiate itself between other 3rd person games of the genre.
It attempts to be gritty, edgy and mature whilst showcasing just how generic the whole game really is, not a great start. The sequel to the original and somewhat marred, Kane and Lynch.Dog Days takes place in Shanghai, just like Army of 2 and is a third person cover shooter, rather like many third person cover shooters, say Gears of War.
