Aaron tags along with gamings most notorious in Kane and Lynchs far eastern second outing, Dog Days … debacle, and was far from the smash hit people had hoped for.
Now you have to press X to stick to cover, which is a far better option.
The one, supposedly, original feature is the knock down system.
It also only works about half of the time.
This may sound like a bad idea and.
I applaud IO for doing something different, and its a visual style most wont have seen applied before.
First, its devoid of any form of variety.
The second, and without doubt, major flaw is the campaigns length.
In fact, its just plain wrong.
Thats quite a price drop after a mere few days on sale.
Luckily,Dog Daysdoes feature multiplayer, and includes the cool betrayal mechanic seen in the original.
Its a great idea, and one that makes the multiplayer stand out from the crowd.
This time there are more features to multiplayer, though, including Cops and Robbers and Undercover Cop.
By far the most interesting offering is Undercover Cop.
Its a very intriguing game punch in, and one that deserves some attention.
As well as the online modes, theres also an arcade mode.
This is basically an offline Fragile Alliance which can be played alone versus bots.
It consists of several rounds that get harder and harder as you progress.
Game length aside, though,Dog Daysis a fairly solid, if uninspired shooter.
Just dont shell out 30-40.
Time to get ready for the upcoming movie then I guess.
Hold on… Jamie Foxx as Lynch?!
Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Daysis out now andavailable from the Den Of Geek Store.
