Sometimes some "special" objectives will be thrown into the mix, yet they are always of the typical, monotonous, and been-there-done-that kind, like guard character X, or destroy vehicle Y. However, the weirdest thing seems to be the accuracy of shotguns, which is almost as good as the accuracy of sniper rifles. Gone is the extremely similar and inaccurate weaponry of the first title, since each one now looks, sounds, and behaves differently, although, it's still a somewhat flawed system, with one example being the fact that itsy-bitsy, pocket-sized revolvers are surprisingly lethal, even when compared with the military toys. The reason is that it's not automatic anymore, making the process of snapping into position far more reliable, although, like with the original, bullets frequently manage to harm Kane and Lynch. Dog Days is still a simple cover-based third-person shooter, and this time around the cover mechanic has, luckily, been done right - well, not 'right,' to be honest, just a lot better than what it used to be like. The non-existent plot is disappointing, so, once again, it all boils down to the gameplay. The word 'abrupt' cannot even begin to describe it. The plot simply disappears, something completely unacceptable from the follow-up of Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, whose plot was certainly not perfect but at least existed, and was far more memorable - oh, and wait until the ending is reached. In less than about 10 minutes, and after a very few cut-scenes and dialogue sequences that are not exactly very immersive, this becomes an ultra-linear array of redundant gunfire exchange between enemies that don't have any real differences between them besides what weapon they are carrying.

Kane is more like an ordinary 50-year old, rather than a dangerous and skilled mercenary, and Lynch looks less like a psychopath and more like a porn industry retiree. Furthermore, both look a lot different, and not just in appearance, but also in style and behaviour. Not a single mention of past events that could connect this with the original, and not even a word about what these two have been doing all this time.

Lynch asks " How is your daughter?," to which Kane responds, " Fine," and then… that's it. The story begins with Kane meeting with Lynch, who is now the protagonist. This all gives this game a documentary, or reality TV, sort of vibe but, gameplay-wise, it's one of the worst ideas ever.

No, not because this - highly detailed - part of Shanghai is full of filth, but because this band of unfortunate crooks are being followed by a cameraman! At least that's how it looks, since the view constantly shakes and wobbles, blurs, and even gets sprayed with blood, and even gets some sort of compressed video "noise," akin to mobile-recorded footage. Things look pretty ugly right from the start, and not because Kane and Lynch are being chased by Chinese mobs, cops, and soldiers.
