Kane And Lynch 2: Dog Days

[The Ellster]

The Good
An atmosphere that will make you feel like you truly are screwed in China
Amazing Graphics
Good use of imitating a cheap camera to follow you around
Intense fire fights
Multiplayer still works well

The Bad
Someone shouldn't get up when I shoot them in the head
Why do nearly all my bullets miss when I am pointing right at enemies
The Story is pointless and short
Characters that are impossible to like
You will hate dogs after this game
Cover isn't really cover

Conclusion
This game is like a sandwich which the first bites blow your mind but half way through the filling falls out and your just left with two slices of bread. I would recommend this still though but only if it is cheap or a rental.

The game has its share of problems. Maybe it's my bias with games that don't get the respect they deserve. I really liked this game. The shaky camera didn't bother me at all, but gameplay was obviously unbalanced. Half way through the game you were just trying to figure out how you can bob and weave through the enemies to hit the next check point.

Even with the problems what made me love the game was the characters and story. Mostly the characters. It's weird. It's the same thing I have with Sonic games. I know the characters are to my liking, but the gameplay just isn't good enough to carry me there without me noticing how lacking it is.

Kane and Lynch are my favorite characters in gaming... behind Nathan Drake's wit. I appreciate how spot on their voice overs are and how real they react and are designed not like your typical jar head. Ending sucked balls.

What annoys me with a game like this is if you stuck a Rockstar label on it people would say, finally they are going in a more realistic direction with a more mature story and characters that don't mess around. You can see the work that has gone into this game and the amount of detail in the environments, you just really want it to be better gameplay wise because the premise is so good and it has so many wow moments. Bad critic scores put to many people off games like this when people should be using them as a guideline like Cheapy always says.

I agree, the ending was bad. Even if nothing changed it felt like it was setting up for a really cool firefight inside the final destination. Even after the credits rolled I thought they were going to surprise me with a final cutscene or gun fight inside the final destination. Was a total disappointment.
