3.0 out of 5 stars
Approach with caution!,

This review is from: Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days - Limited Edition (PS3) (Video Game)
For me, this games big selling point was its initial setting (as shown in the PSN demo) and how it was portrayed, because it looks gorgeous, far better than the bland character models that inhabit it to be honest. Gorgeous lines of neon colour coupled with many impressive visual effects really catch the eye and give the game its own unique look. Sadly, this doesn't last forever as we are then drudged through the usual generic buildings, factories, train yards that we have seen time and time again.
The biggest flaw of this game is the aiming, they have perhaps tried to make the guns more realistic, but it's just annoying. I'm sure if I unloaded an entire clip of an Uzi it would be hard to aim, but at the same time if its at someone not 2 feet away from me i'm sure i'd hit them at least once, not here sadly. Firing in short bursts and switching on the auto-aim doesn't help much either. The aiming gets a bit better as the guns improve, but when your shotgun is more accurate from long distances than your machine guns are, you can see where the problems lie. And as the majority of the game is simply run, get into cover, and shoot its a massive flaw to have. The other flaw is all your guns sound rather weedy and lack any real "kick", most of them sound like potato guns truth be known. Another big negative is the games length, I finished it in under 4 hours which is far too short in this day and age. There are achievements to collect, a high scoring arcade mode and the usual online multiplayer, but I feel it should still have had more, even at a reduced RRP price of under £25. The limited edition version comes with download codes for an extra map, weapons and masks. Despite all these flaws though ive still given the game 3 stars, and that's a testament to the interesting characters and the few standout moments throughout the game. Like Kane and Lynch themselves though, approach with caution.

An improvement on the original, but not much,

Kane and Lynch 2 differs heavily from the 2007 game. Jesper Kyd's gloomy music is gone (a shame, since I rather liked it), the camera system is radically different, and the partner system has also been done away with. This time you play as crazed psychopath Lynch, a man so anti-social he'd make Al Capone run and hide. Or at least he used to be. In this game Lynch is on his meds, and his edge is blunt. So he's basically just a generic run and gun anti-hero. What a wasted opportunity.
The story opens in Shanghai where Kane arrives to help Lynch with a lucrative opportunity. Before we can make sense of anything further two important people are dead and the anti-heroes are getting the blame. A battle rages across several locations as Kane and Lynch desperately try to escape the city. That's it as far as plot goes. No big twists, no innovative narrative techniques. Just kill, kill, kill. You get to play as Kane in the last level, but for the bulk of the game he's just a background character helping you blast away at the legions of bad guys filling the screen. The story mode can be completed in about four hours. The game gives away trophies like there was no tomorrow, but...the majority of them are for online play. I have to be honest, most of the game's lasting appeal and scope comes from the various online modes (which I have no interest in). It's primarily an online game with a story mode shoehorned in as an afterthought. I have faith the franchise, Kane and Lynch are terrific characters, but for their third outing the developers really do have to deliver an EPIC game for the ages and not a cheap quickie trading off a mediocre brand name.

paid £40 for this which works out at £8 an hour of gameplay, to say i felt ripped off is an understatement. there's no plot really to speak off it's just a run from a to b each time shooting anything that moves down a linear tunnel before the next chapter starts. needless to say i traded it back the next day for store credit. it's games like this that make me not want to buy any ever again and just stick to renting them.
