Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is a sequel to the successful, though not perfect, shooter Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. She showed in full parade that there is no need to put a handsome positive in the lead role, because neither Kane nor Lynch are exactly handsome and not exemplary guys at all.

You might think that after the first episode, our criminal duo Kane and Lynch will take a break from drug dealers, guns and criminals. Unfortunately, this did not happen and the very big crazy Lynch, around whom the whole story of the second part revolves, will go to Shanghai. We will soon find out that he did not come only on holiday when he plans a very risky event, in which, of course, there is money, drugs, weapons and local mobsters. Before the event, he had a good fight with his colleague Kan, but when he promises to help him a few million, from which he could sponsor his daughter, Kane nods and he is already flying to Shanghai too. However, Lynch is not exactly the type to think about, so his planned event has several large and small cracks, which will immediately manifest themselves. Thanks to this, our duo will become game not only for mobsters, but also for the local police. As you may already know, the main prime here will be the shootouts, which will take place in a total of ten levels. Unfortunately, this is not a large number, and believe me, the game took us about four hours of game time to complete the first game. This is a shame for the game like thunder.

As for the gameplay itself, Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is a classic action shooter that takes inspiration from American action movies. Quite simply. You go through all 10 levels, but they are as linear as possible, with crowds of armed enemies. Your only task is to get through them at the end. At first, only similar bastards will keep you company, but later the police and in the second half of the game also special units that have bulletproof vests, but also better submachine guns. In order for you to succeed in the shootouts, the developers have added to the game even so popular today, which is really successful in the second part of Kane & Lynch. Your end is also very interesting. If you refuse to cover and you simply want to shoot the level, after a few hits, the character you control goes to the ground, while he has the opportunity to shoot everything from the ground, or quickly get up and run to safety. Anyway, if you don't get out of range of the bullets, you'll end up in a pool of blood soon. Thanks to the considerable linearity and constant skirmishes, the game has a really fast pace and you will really relax when you finish the game. Even thanks to the brutal pace, the game will definitely not let you go.

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is a hilarious action game that includes crazy shootouts full of violence and foul language. But in order to give a better mark, the game would have to be a bit longer, because less than four hours for the main campaign, that's a hell of a lot. Also, the game contains a fun Arcade mode and even the multiplayer is definitely not bad. But now the answer to the question of whether to buy or not. If you fell in love with the first part or you like purebred shooters, then definitely buy it.

I personally rate the game 5/10
