A guilty macabre pleasure of mine. It only takes about three hours to beat the single player campaign. And that's considered longer than usual.
Dog Days is a sequel to the the first Kane & Lynch game, Dead Men, but doesn't borrow too much from it to confuse newcomers to the series. It's a decent run-and-gun with a melodramatic story. If you hold your suspense of illusion with all the lens flare and aggressive handheld effects, and enable the "Steadicam" feature to negate them, you'll get a generic third person shooter in a rather unusual setting (China). Some scenes are grimdark because of how the story is set up. There's plenty of incidental, unerotic nudity, and portions of the game will have you and your partner hulking around naked.
As a whole, the game left me with a feeling of disappointment, but the bait and switch of it being a "polished game" was disingenuous enough to believe such an act was on purpose. There is little replay value in the game, and the multiplayer modes, like many "multiplayer modes" of disappointing games, are dead. However, the co-op function for single player is still worth exploring if you and a friend are feeling adventurous.
There's very little replay value in this video game. Though on sale, there's very little risk to waste a few hours on this "amusement park" of a game, even if it's not your thing.
