- 5h median play time
Better than the first game, and an amazing technical achievement, but the shooting needs work to fully realise its potential.
In "Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days," players control Lynch, a mercenary with a sociopathic personality, in a brutal and gritty journey through the criminal underworld of Shanghai. The game features a unique visual style, mimicking the look of recorded footage from a camera, and fast-paced, tactical gunplay. The story takes a fresh approach, presenting itself as a raw, realistic depiction of violence and crime, rather than a typical action-packed blockbuster.

Critic Reviews
Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days Review
Kane and Lynch return, once again defining mediocrity in all its forms. Intriguing multiplayer modes and a tense story are not enough to combat the games loose shooting mechanics, sloppy cover system and clichéd script.
60%Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days Review
Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is a homage to the YouTube generation, creatively 'shot' like a B-movie. While its presentation is enough to turn some heads, the mediocre gameplay and lack of level diversity keep this game from having any lasting appeal.
