It's not too difficult to predict review scores with only five increments but I'm going to anyway:
Four stars.
Jeff seemed positive in the Quick Look but it's not a five star game. It's probably closer to three stars but that's not going to happen. Jeff would appear way too grumpy in the light of the events of the first game, and he probably likes the game too much to rate it only three stars.
Do you agree with the prediction?
Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days
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.
Predict the review score
Man will I be happy after this game comes out and people will just let it go.
I say 4 stars as well. Seems functional enough and the art style is cool.

Theres a difference between using a review to help you decide, and DEPENDING on the score to make that decision for you.
1. A review can be biased
2. The reviewers' tastes could be alot different than yours
3. We all have tons of games that we enjoy though they had low ratings
4. etc...
Reading a review as a helpful tip is fine, but the way we deal with reviews nowadays, depend on them and stalk Metacritic like it's Lady Gaga's myspace is just fucking frustrating !!
Yep, but even in Giantbomb there are some scores, that look more due to the developer behind the game, or the previous games released, that reflecting the actual game on review. It's debatable, but i think it happens everywhere." @Jeust said:

Ahmad has a lot of suppressed anger inside of him. Take him lightly. :)

I'm thinking 4, but there's a possibility that there's something he finds he doesn't like about the game that didn't come across in the demo and he gives it a 3.

I liked what i played of the demo, and the visual style is just too dam great. I would guess 4 stars unless the game gets to repetitive.

Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days is a large step up from its predecessor, even if it still doesn't fully live up to its potential.
By Jeff Gerstmann
It looks like a three or a four to me. Regardless, I'm going to pick it up. The shooting feels a bit loose but the demo intrigued me..
" @Bludgeoner86 said:" I think it will get a 6.0 "Why do you say that? OHHHHHHH YEAAAH just like his Gamespot review of the original! Genius, man. Fuckin gold. "
FUNNY RIGHT???
" In GIantbombs, 4 stars In Gamespots 8.1 "A 4 out of 5 would be equal to an 8.0. I can't tell if you're trying to be serious or facetious.
Personally I think that it'll get a 3 out of five. It looks like a perfectly functional third person cover based shooter that is going to live or die on it's unique visuals and story.

Well, I just go by how Metacritic simply divides 100 by 5 and goes with that. Seems the most logical to me. To each his own though.
