Strategy will be a big part of Fragile Alliance. Though this improves your cash count it will also put a big target on your back. Once you have become a traitor your gamertag will show up bright orange and all other members will know that you betrayed the team. At any point members can turn on their teammates and become a “traitor”. Players can also earn additional cash by killing policeman and “goons”. The exact amount you receive relies on how many people make it out alive. After stealing the valuables you must make it to your getaway vehicle before time expires (4 minutes) and escape. Fragile Alliance has a team of robbers (you included) pulling off a heist worth $4 million. The main mode, Fragile Alliance, is a return from the first game while the 2 new modes, “Cops and Robbers” and “Undercover Cop”, are variants on the main mode. Those prone to motion sickness or are uneasy with the abrupt camera movements can turn off the shaky camera by selecting the “Steadycam” option from the pause menu. The game is meant to look gritty and unrefined. Some may think this is a bad thing but until you play it you will not understand what it does for the game. The video looks as though it was a user made YouTube video (shaky footage and all). The game is shot as if it where filmed by a handheld camera. The biggest new feature of Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is the striking visual presentation.
I am not sure if this was done on purpose to keep the “sense of urgency” feeling of the game but it works. The enemies in the game do a good job forcing you to continually move and all have marksmanship accuracy. The cover system works well and certain cover (i.e wooden crates, etc.) will blow apart from enemy fire. Although this does not hurt the gameplay, it does pull you from what is suppose to be rooted in reality (I do use reality loosely). I should not be able to shoot an enemy off a high ledge with a 12 gauge. The submachine guns are horribly inaccurate (even at point blank range) and the shotguns shoot like sniper rifles. Unfortunately, the guns are either overpowered or utterly useless. The game relies on your ability to get to cover and keep pushing forward. The gameplay is a traditional third-person cover shooter. The campaign can be played solo, via system link, local co-op, and online co-op. The game is non-stop action that will keep you amused the entire way through. The single player campaign comes in at an astoundingly short four hours (actually a little under for my playthrough). There are no collectible or side missions in the game and you always have a sense of urgency which is exhilarating. The game pushes you through the story and never lets up.
Kane and Lynch are now smack-dab in the middle of a gang fight that they have only one objective….make it out of Shanghai alive (oh, and save Lynch’s girl). Of course nothing is as easy as it seems and things go bad, fast. This requires Lynch to ask Kane to join him in Shanghai for this “easy” job. Lynch is now involved with a big arms deal that requires Kane’s experience and expertise. In Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days you follow Lynch who has settled in Shanghai and has been somewhat disconnected from Kane after the events of the first game.
