Actually, it's much better here, since the maps, while having the look of Story Mode, features brand new layouts. The mode is just as great as it was in the first, thanks to these variables thrown in every match. Then there's the added element of respawing as a police officer after dying, having to fight the gang you were working with a second ago. For those new to this, it's much harder than it sounds, as one or more players can betray the team at any given time to steal another's loot, and this usually happens while AI opponents block your path to freedom. The rules haven't changed: you and your gang must loot at a specific location and leave before the strict time limit runs out. Fragile Alliance is just as raw and exciting, delivering an unpredictable flow with every new match. However, like Dead Men, the multiplayer in Dog Days is what makes this sequel so damn fun to play. It's even complete with pixilated censorship whenever you kill a man or thing (woof woof) with a headshot!

And the entire experience is shown in an amateur video presentation, where it'll seem like an invisible cameraman is following you around (think Fox's Cops) the whole time. The fire fights get so thick at times, with police and gangs popping out of absurd hiding spots, it'll feel like you're playing a high-octane, off-rails light-gun title. This gives Story Mode a nonstop, roller coaster-style ride, as you have to literally shoot your way out from one location to the next. It doesn't also hurt that, plot-wise, you've pissed off a very influential person in China by accidentally shooting his daughter, so you have everyone in the country with a gun trying to blow you away. And unlike the previous release, if you get knocked down, you won't get helped up you have to help yourself up quickly and hide before you get covered with more bullets. What helps this is that, except for one short instance, you'll only have one person backing you up for the entire mode. While the play mechanics in Story Mode is still hide-and-go-shoot (were you honestly expecting something different?), it seems to take after Gears of War's approach, which means the action is more in your face. This follow-up is just a simple expansion of its predecessor, but it's not the type that's really lazy like, say, Crackdown 2. Even so, this decent title showed huge potential for a kick-ass sequel, and with Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days released three years after the original, did IO Interactive deliver a successor that would make a company like Capcom blush in delight?Дog Days is really only a simple expansi WAIT, COME BACK! LET ME FINISH! When the game was first released, you only had four short maps to work with, and what made this more lame was they were exact locations taken from Campaign mode, so they could have easily added more. The multiplayer, Fragile Alliance, the highlight of Dead Men, even had its share of problems. Sure, there were a bunch of police, thugs, and mercenaries on screen trying to kill you, but it mostly felt subdued, especially since you had four or five AI buddies backing you up, giving you ammo, and reviving you whenever your avatar falls to the ground. The Campaign mode, for example, while it took gamers on a tour through various locations around the globe, was nothing more than a very basic hide-and-go-shoot action fest. I didn't think the first Kane & Lynch title, Dead Men, was a terrible game, but it did do a few things wrong that made it only an above-average product.
