Despite being known only for being a bad game and getting a GameSpot editor fired when he dared to say so, Kane & Lynch is getting a sequel. According to a new trademark from Eidos/Square Enix Europe, the next title in the series will be known henceforth as Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days.
Although the original game was, by all accounts, a piece of crap, the premise was cool and the characters pretty interesting. If Eidos can get some competent developers on the case for this second outing, who knows? Perhaps Kane & Lynch can find redemption among the masses yet.
We'll have to wait for Dog Days to appear as more than a mere trademark filing before we can tell if it'll be just another trainwreck, but I hope it does well. The characters were unique enough to deserve to be in a good game.

* Ps3 exclusive.
I'd never pay more than $20 for another game like it, though
And doesn't get anyone fired.
Here's hoping it gets another obnoxious editor sacked.
just make another hitman goddamit
Characters: Great
Storyline: Decent.
Gameplay: Whoops.
It think its a good shooter, good settings, interesting chars, allot of action, couch coop, solid graphics.
Bullets spraying around? If you shoot with full automatic fire its absolutly normal that you dont hit with every bullet! Also i liked its degree of difficulty.
People geting spoiled really fast these days!

Whoops is the only word that can truly explain that game.
It was an "early in the generation" game, give it a break.
K&L has got my interest.
PM me immediately on the forums as I am eager to complete this deal. Further services available upon request.
I've always loved Gritty crime games & such,& I found the characters & story intriguing, so I guess I was looking at(& grading) the wrong part.
the game played decently, I'm not sure why people think it's such a bowl of ass.
If reviewers give this game a score of 90 or better, we'll salivate their lobsters.
It's a good time to be a reviewer, no?
Also the co-op aspect when the Lynch player goes psychotic was one of the most clever innovations in a game I've seen in ages. Give us more of that.
Jeff Gerstmann was fired for that ! How can anyone play it without a conscience crisis after knowing that?
Sealed and unopened. It's why friends don't let friends buy games.
I'll definitely be getting this, I'm interested to know what keeps them together in this game knowing that the reason is gone from the first.
