Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days Review
____________________________

The first Kane and Lynch was a crime game with a difference. Gone were the sanitary and sterilised views of crime that had become popular in the virtual world, that allowed players to chortle their way through mass murder and mayhem. Instead, here was a title that showed the grubby world which low end criminals often inhabit. The first game was met with mixed reviews, some lauding it for its grimy backdrop, others criticising its lack of innovation and flawed co-op system. Changes had to be made before the sequel saw the light of day.

I agree it's way to short, but it can easily be played through two times. I think it's a great game, which dears to try something new out. Yeah yeah cover and shot isn't new, but the artistic style is and the very raw and brutal story goes well in hand with levels, where you run around totally naked with blood dripping down from your cut wounds :P

Multiplayer is great, it has both online and local multiplayer, some interesting game modes and the possiblity to screw over your buddies

Also I hugely disagree with the low score in audio, I found the voice acting to be spot on and I would personally rate the entire game a 85.

Pick this up, not for the full price, but already now it can be found for a good price.

I can't say artistic merit on it's own would get me to buy a game. Remember Killer7 on PS2? Crap game but so many people bought it (and were disappointed by it) because it dared to try something a little different which leads me to believe that "Cinematic Gameplay" and "Alternative Styling" are just marketing ploys thrown around.

Off course the gameplay it self has to be fun also. The gameplay isn't anything wildly innovative, but it works well with the shaky camera, dirty streets of Shanghai and brutal nature of K&L.
