Dave Take one psychopath, one mercenary, sprinkle in some personal history, a lack of real trust, and some desperate need to do anything for some money, and what do you get? A visceral, bloody mess of a game that leaves a nasty taste in the mouth, an...
Hectic style and presentation is excellent; story is good, if not well explained; combat is great, if straightforward; multiplayer is far more fun than it should be...
Early guns suck; not much more to the game than the combat; does a deliberate bad job of keeping you in the loop with whats going on; first title controversy is guaranteed to knock both reception and sales...

Kane and Lynch will live on in gaming circles for a long time. The original game caused much controversy in the gaming industry and not because of its content. We aren't going to get into details here, but the game itself wasn't that great either. However...

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is a formulaic third-person co-op shooter that fails to meet the grade. Where the game does try to be different, it frustrates gameplay and pulls the uniform score downward...
Some aspects of multiplayer are fun.
A frequently disorienting, occasionally nauseating camera. Poor weapon hit registration. A cover system that doesn't work. Far too brief. The list goes on...

I must have walked past the game a thousand times, but I only ever played it once. Like all Whac-a-Mole players, I think I smiled momentarily, in some bizarre infantile regression, as I chased the moles around the board. But then the game's inanity overca...
Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days feels like the developers assembled a crew to pull off one last job: to create the greatest crime shooter in gaming history. Perhaps it is testament to IO Interactive's beautiful realisation of Shanghai, and the game's alluring ae...

It’s depressing when reviewing a sequel to re-read the review of its predecessor and discover that almost the whole thing could be cut and pasted into your own review and still apply. And it’s especially disheartening when our archive review concludes...
The audiovisual style is truly unique and mostly very effective, but Dog Days still has nearly all of the same gameplay flaws as its predecessor and as such doesn’t really represent any kind of step forward. 7.1/10Print this pageComments (0)Share this...

When the original Kane & Lynch game released almost three years ago, it quickly became a household name amongst gamers, not because it was a great game but because of the immense amount of hubbub surrounding one particular review of the game that ended wi...

Available on the OnLive gaming service, it's a shame that the first title to simultaneously launch for the Mac (through OnLive) and other platforms is such a disappointment.So, first, the plot: after psychotic killer Lynch and his fellow deathrow esca...
There's a dearth of good third person shooters available on the Mac. Still, this doesn't mean Kane & Lynch is any more worthy of your time and money. Games can be gritty and raw, but Dog Days' gameplay is an unpolished and sloppy mess. What could have...

So I wasn't an exceptionally big fan of the original Kane and Lynch, mostly because I thought the attempt at giving the co-op shooter squad based tactics was pretty much half baked, it didn't feel like the idea had fully developed before they went to a...

In late 2007, Kane and Lynch: Dead Men made headlines, and earned a spot in video game history. Not because of the game itself, but because it became caught up in an Internet scandal. After Eidos purchased a large amount of ad space on a well known vid...

If Dog Days had simply been an improved version of Dead Men (which I would have given a C myself had I reviewed it at the time) with the same look, then it would have been filed as another step into mediocrity. But IO took a chance with a frankly brilliant visual direction, which pays off for the most part and elevates it above medioc...

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is releasing in a somewhat unenviable position. After controversy surrounding the last game and a generally lukewarm response from critics, some were surprised that a second game was greenlit so quickly. It's good then that Dog...
A recommendation for Dog Days isn't hard, though it is filled with qualifications. If the story and characters haven't caught your interest yet, or if you're just not interested in crime thrillers, then there's probably not going to be enough in Kane &...

Two steps forward and one step back.I am admittedly a fan of 2007’s Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. I really enjoyed the characters, the innovative online mode and most of all, the locales. When I heard IO was doing a sequel I had high hopes that they would fi...

For two guys who debuted as Dead Men back in 2007, Adam "Kane" Marcus and James Seth Lynch are in pretty good shape. Kane's nose is no longer broken, Lynch's medication is keeping his inner psycho under control, and their gritty second outing improves...
Interesting visual style, Satisfying gunplay with weapons that really pack a punch, Multiplayer modes can be a lot of fun.
Story mode is only around four hours long, Online modes suffer from noticeable lag, Limited selection of multiplayer modes and maps, Action doesn't take long to get repetitive.
This gritty cover-based shooter is better than its predecessor, but as a package, it's light on content...
