After 3 years of waiting for a sequel it is finally here. (Possible spoilers contained)
The game has come along way since Kane and Lynch: Dead Men.
Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, is set in Shanghai ,Japan, you play as Lynch, as he seeks revenge on the man who viciously murdered his wife Xiu.
The game starts off with Lynch waiting for Kane to arrive for his "final" deal, but before they can get briefed for the deal, Lynch must first have a "talk" with a guy. As you would expect things do not go according to plan, as you find yourself chasing him down through buildings, and eventually trapping him in an alleyway, where he takes a girl hostage, Kane & Lynch accidentally shoot the girl, which leads to the guy killing him self.
Square Enix have done an amazing job on this game, the unsteady camera (which can be turned off), the video camera like view is just awesome. You are now able to switch sides that you shoot from. There is an aiming helper, which snaps your targeting onto the enemies, (this can also be turned off) They have changed from when you are downed that a member has to come along and pump you full of adrenaline, well now it is you get downed and are able to get back up, straight into cover.
The covering system, is excellent accept it can be quite annoying when trying to cover to something but he covers to something else.
If there was one thing that i would have liked to of seen in this game it is more blood and gore, when someone has been shot in the head, it is pix-elated which i wanted to turn off but i could not find an option.
With all these points i have put in here, there is one main issue, the storyline. The storyline is great and all, but it is just too short, found my self playing it for about 4 - 5 hours.
Overall, i would recommend this game to any Kane & Lynch fan.
Just do not go expecting too much, as you will be disappointed.
Rating 8/10
