Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days review
Exceptional
by Valtelė

I adore its visual style. You watch sick psychopath from distorted low-end filters, everything shakes, catchy chinese pop mixes with drone and dark ambient. This is a hallucinogenic trip into the Void.

Meh-to-skip until you realize you can turn on "steadycam" in the options. Then it's a blast. Literally because it's super short and every chapter opens with cursing and bullets flying to a comical level. If the first one was depressing and stressful (because you play as Kane and that's who he is), then this one is more of the same but instead it's chaotic and loud and angry (because that's who is Lynch is). Arcade Mode is short and sweet, the soundtrack is eerie and unsettling and sometimes broken up by radio ballads which is jarring but fun, the multiplayer was excellent back when you could find people who wouldn't immediately turn traitor and blow up your headset with racism like a COD lobby, the look and feel of the game in general is unlike anything else and still presents itself as a wholly unique experience that I can easily recommend to people. I remember when the first trailers came out for this and I still love them because they marketed this as a terrifying and claustrophobic "documentary style" game about two washed up, tired psychos caught up in a turf war. Grimy stuff and I wish we'd get more of that kind of Manhunt-style miniDV quality LiveLeak footage in action games. Or in action movies for that matter.

So what to say, I'll make it simple: positive points: the story, the atmosphere, the violence negative points all the rest, imprecise aiming at the possible, no time to revive his co-crew, emptying a loader on an enemy to kill him. Basically you advance to the time crisis (if you have known) we move from room to room and we wait for the next wave of enemies, and this on all levels but the best remains the end of the game memorable!!! short if you find it with a buddy has less than 3rd CA will make you 1st clock display

I had not liked the one but I let myself go to try the 2 anyway because despite all his flaws the characters of Kane and Lynch have this little something that makes them endearing and that is what saves the game because the gameplay is too basic and the scenario is worthy of a film Z... I found the 2 much better realized that the one despite its very low lifespan 3-4 h I did a milking and the end is so brutal that one has a taste of unfinished at the end... Yet we want more anyway so I hope a 3rd Opus on the misadventures of this duo of anti-hero attypic...

A grassy successor to an ingenious game ... It really has nothing ... Kane is absolutely blank and lynch is not popped through. Playfully ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ often the cover system to pull off is and all in all it plays out like n pseudo shooter. The graphic is inferior the effects are nauseous causing the sound seems like taken in ne garage on Syncro is hundsmieserabel and the story seems like from the 3 classic tom clancy immitat. All in all, Kane & Lynch 2 is just n stroke in the face which is the only good thing ... The game is short ... Damn short so you don't have to do this sumption for too long! 10 (though almost ne 0/10 but the short play time it travels out) more action gibts at Minesweeper & the effects are better there too

I only played this one, I wanted to play the first but the developers are not screwed to make sure that we can play it on Windows 10, so I play this one. I didn't really find that the game was really good, the fact that the view is third person does not bother me but simulate as if it was a cameraman who follows the action behind you with the tremor of the camera and everything, you understand nothing at first. At the end of one or two hours we get there, like we do it in half of the game because Yes this games is really short after there is the multi mode but if I have not really liked the solo because the gameplay Soule me with all his weapons that are incredibly not precise and suddenly we find to rush in the pile just to collect ammunition, sometimes it is a feat to touch the enemies, but in addition must put several bullets for them to create. With all this, it makes me not want to go for a ride of the multi.
Bad game
