#KANE AND LYNCH 2 DOG DAYS CRASH AT MAIN MENU MOVIE#

Then at the top of the screen you have a timer as if the whole thing is being recorded. It feels like Lynch (which you play as in all but one level) is constantly on drugs and therefore is always unbalanced and woozy.

So right off the bat the camera is constantly moving and never stops which is really off-putting and can sometimes makes you feel a bit dizzy especially when there is a lot going on. They claimed they were trying to make it like documentary footage and more true to life but it doesn’t come off like that at all and feels more like a mess. – The thing that bothered me most of all and is a real shame that they decided to make it like this is the camera. – The game ends pretty abruptly as there is no wrap up, no epilogue or even a hint at what happens after, not even a cliffhanger or something to ponder on. So to kill anybody I had to be out in the open which made it a lot more difficult. – On the last two levels the cover system stopped working as my crosshair was constantly pointed at the middle of the screen. – There are about 4-5 enemy types and they all play the same just with slightly different health levels. It can get very frustrating having to redo certain parts over and over because you get killed offscreen or have someone jump out at you unexpectedly. – Enemies can rush in at you without you even knowing they are there which down you in a couple hits. – There aren’t too many weapons to chose from and once again no kind of skills to chose from which makes every level essentially the same, run, shoot then run again, rinse – repeat. – You can revive yourself which is a lot handier than having to wait for an AI do it. – The leader/command system is gone so you don’t need to order braindead AI around anymore for them to get themselves killed. You can really tell this area of China is poor, poverty stricken, seedy and a criminal hotspot. – The levels are definitely improved from bland blocky structures to detailed environments. – The directors of this game took a good leap and making it more brutal and more graphic which adds to the dark story and highlights how far people go for business and pleasure. In this one possibly Kane or Lynch accidentally kills the daughter of a powerful person which turns them into wanted men on a quest for revenge.Įven though they sound very similar they do play out in different ways with drastic outcomes. – Dog Days’ story is very familiar to the story of Dead Men in which Lynch accidentally kills the daughter of a powerful person which turns them into wanted men on a quest for revenge. – The soundtrack is still great and gives an intense atmosphere of dread and desperation. – Kane and Lynch show their crazy and humane sides once more which make them really good and interesting characters which have sadly been stuck into an easily forgettable game.

Dog Days (as well as Dead Men) would have been a lot, lot better if it had been a movie or TV show rather than a game as it feels that the creators studied film rather than game design and thought it could work. While this game certainly improved a lot on what made the original so dull but it didn’t do enough to keep the game interesting or exciting as it once again relies entirely on the story. Unfortunately, right from the get go things take a drastic and unexpected turn and the two are forced to fight for their lives with the whole country out for their blood. Kane arrives in Shanghai to help Lynch with an arms trafficking deal in order to buy him and his daughter out of their misery in one last job. Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is the sequel to Dead Men, set shortly after the events of the first game and once again pits the oddly matched duo in a dark and grizzly situation. Well, there’s no reason not to release it now!) (Like with my previously posted Raid: World War II review, this is another review that has been completed but never posted for unknown reasons so it’s been laying here since 2018.
