Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days

Re: Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days

The guys straight up focused on the few negatives and kept on referring back to part 1. And then gave the game a 1 out of 10......lmao..

And you didn't have a problem with that. A 1 means the game is unplayable, kind of like that terrible vampire game they came out with a while back. But this game is,,,,,, never mind....everyone has their opinions. I'll post my review later tonight.

You're confused dood. Gertsman works for Giantbomb. Destructiod gave it a 1/10. Giantbomb/Gertsman gave it a 6 I think. I was refering to the comment that Gertsman only had it 1 day then posted the Destructiod review seperatly.

Re: Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days

Would I have paid $60 for this game? Hell no, not with a story that is five hours at most. That said, is it worth every penny of the $30 I paid for it? Absolutely. The presentation alone makes it feel like an awesome four to five hour action flick. Throw in the very fun shooting mechanics/gameplay, and I'll definitely make this a ten hour purchase by playing through twice.

Re: Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days

This game is OK, my main problem is that it's shockingly short. When I saw the credits I was like ??? It was just bizarre. Worth a rental, nothing more.

That black on red NEW REVIEW!!! notice is ugly. Just for future reference. I see it's a relativly new site so stuff like that doesn't help.

Shadows, as far as substance goes, the review was very informative and unbiased. Grammatically, however, there are plenty of grammar and style mistakes, starting in the very first paragraph. Your thoughts are there man, but I would suggest having someone proof read your work before posting on your site next time. I don't mean this as an insult, but if you want your site to gain popularity, it has to look credible, and stuff like that makes it look fairly amateur.

As far as your site layout, etc, I like a lot of what your doing, so you definitely have a good start.

Re: Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days

You want me to review your review?

Well alright.
So your first point is the story is well written. You should explain why. Personally I found it to be generic and paper thin especially in comparison to the original. I also found it failed the in the as you put it "unique situation" department so you could expand on what some of the unique situations are and mention how they compare to the first game which did do a great job of that (donut shop shootout,club,bank robbery,tower etc. pretty much everything up to Freedom Fighters) and why you think they're great this time.

Your controls section does a good job of getting the point across.

If you're trying to imply graphics are better than any console game...well there's that old saying about opinions not being able to be wrong but...yah. Though I played it on the 360. Seem to over hyping/rating them. Not that they were awful but it comes off like it was the best thing ever.

Neglected to mention the single player arcade mode under Features & Extras.

This part in particular is phrased very oddly:

Overall this is a must buy for any fan of the first game and could overlook some of its flaws to really love and respect the story and what they were attempting to do with the game. For all others it’s a rental and complete and then move on.

Likely what Dalewood was referencing.

You should also have it filed under all 3 possible systems so people don't miss it. Just make sure you mention it was reviewed on the PC. (Which you did anyway.)

I also feel a final break down either by scoring individual parts or a +/- system helps out a lot.

Thanks for that, since I only own the PC version, I only reviewed the PC version. As far as grammar and things like that, I do agree that I need to proof read it first. (In which I used a grammar editor after writing and the mistakes that remained it didn't find wrong!) But after reading back through it, I kept on finding more and more mistakes. Everyday I've been editing the paragraphs and re-writing!

I'll do a revision later on, after I finish the Mafia II and Need for Speed Online Review!

I don't have my 360 right now, waiting on a new console and then I'll get to work on the console versions. And to be honest the PC versions are always better, so if that's the truth. They usually have less issues with freezing and some of the glitches. But I will play them both through and later write a 2nd different Xbox 360 review.

I agree my grammar is extremely bad, sadly enough I talk like a genius! But on paper I'm bad with words, etc. Plus I've been out of College for over 14 years and really never had to write much. Plus the art of text messaging has screwed up my mind state of sentences. Everything is like mental short-hand or something.

Kind of ironic I put the wrong "you're" in my last sentence, lol. But yah

Re: Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days

PC versions usually aren't that different enough to change the score or review that significantly right? It's not like comparing 360 and Wii versions of something.

Could always dictate and have someone else type it up.

I say that PC games getting a bigger score than thier console versions is because of the modding comunity.

Re: Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days

Ok sure in general (though they usually do get the same scores anyway,that doesn't ever seem to factor in to reviews) but not in this case unless someone can mod on 4-6 more hours of story.

Yeah, but games like Fallout 3 and Oblivion are vastly better than thier console version. Another game I must say was 10x beter on PC then console was Farcry.

Re: Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days

Yes I noticed. I was looking through the mods for those earlier. There's even one that gives Fallout 3 colors!
