You'll use a variety of weapons, including some of the most effective shotguns I've seen in a very long time. You hit a button to get into cover, back away to get out, and you'll use the left trigger to pop out and the right trigger to shoot. This is a cover-based third-person shooter with very few frills. The gameplay in Dog Days is fine, but you've played this game before. There's a bit of a "less is more" approach here, because every time the action stops, something incredibly messed up happens, from a naked woman getting gunned down by stray bullets to a torture scene that leaves the two protagonists bloody and, hey, wait, they're also naked. The plot is quite thin, though there's some pretty good dialogue interspersed here and there. As you might expect, the deal goes sideways almost immediately, pitting Shanghai's biggest crime boss against Kane and Lynch, forcing them to spend the entire game trying to get the hell out of China. They haven't exactly remained close since the events of the first game, but when Lynch's Chinese connection-OK, he's actually a British guy named Glazer-needs someone to help out on a caper, Lynch gets Kane involved. Dog Days puts Lynch and Kane in Shanghai. It also has a crazy and unique visual style that really makes the game worth seeing, but its length (and some seemingly rare but decidedly crippling issues in the 360 version) makes the game's $60 price tag feel high. Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days suffers from a general lack of content across all of its modes. But the more intense and satisfying action of the sequel doesn't last. Kane and Lynch's return to action sees the duo placed in Shanghai, but more importantly it sees the criminal duo placed in a better third-person shooter than 2007's Kane & Lynch: Dead Men.
