    Game » consists of 10 releases. Released Aug 17, 2010

    Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days makes a notable switch of the titular duo, with James Lynch now taking up the role as lead protagonist over Kane. However the two are still once again forced to endure a hail of gunfire as they find themselves embroiled in Shanghai's criminal underworld.

    Days for Dogs must be short

    I guess the reason why a single human year equals seven for a dog is because their days are so short.  As for the title, and to quote Wayne's World, "so it's not just a clever name."  This game is terrible.  This game is short.  This game is a waste of money.  You can probably stop reading this review right there and walk away with all you need to know about this game.  I can remember being able to muster through a lot of the gameplay flaws of the last Kane and Lynch just enough to get through it.  The first game seemed like if it were built upon, it could have been a decent release.  That's probably why I was somewhat optimistic going into the sequel.  It doesn't take long for Kane and Lynch 2 to kill the mood.  The visual style is disrupting to the game.  When you sprint forward it's hard to discern whether or not you are fleeing/pursuing thugs or hunting for the Blair Witch.   The hit detection is unbelievably random.  The weapons all feel the same.  This shotgun shoots like that shotgun, this assault rifle shoots like that assault rifle, etc.   If you are looking for a multiplayer review for this game look elsewhere.  I played the online portion of this game for about two hours and lost interest.  This game is a rental at best and should be ignored/avoided entirely.  If you simply must scratch your Kane and Lynch itch (there's a cream for that by the way) just rent the game.  The single player campaign with cut-scenes can be completed within in four hours.

       What would you do if your life as you know it was taken away because of one mistake? What if the most powerful crime lord in the country wanted you dead? What would you do if you were trying to review a game that only has one really good quality, but that one this is perfectly executed? The predicament I'm in doesn't seem so serious now, does it? In Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days you play as James Lynch, a psychotic ex-convict who's working for a crime boss in Shanghai. Lynch has as good a life...

       The damned duo reunite. Despite the criticism and controversy surrounding IO Interactive's Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, the Danish developer pulled out a pretty acceptable hit with the much improved sequel Dog Days. Following the events in Dead Men, Dog Days shows supporting character Lynch taking the role of main protagonist starting a new life with a girlfriend in the city of Shanghai, China. However Lynch gets involved in a crime organization led by a man named Glazer who informs L...
