Shanghai is brilliantly designed and its many contrasting locations add a fair amount of variety to the levels. One of the things that do set it apart though is the setting. But for all of these little features, Kane & Lynch 2 does nothing to set it apart from the sea of third-person shooters already out there. And if you happen to sneak up on a group of enemies unsuspected, you can take one of them hostage to gain an advantage in the ensuing gun battle. You’ll also be able to use combustible items like gas canisters and fire extinguishers to toss at groups of enemies to get easy kills. Every now and then, Kane and Lynch will split up and you’ll be left without back up for those segments. So the shooting segments aren’t as much about skill as they are a test of patience, but there are a few gameplay variations thrown in to let you improvise.
However, enemies do take an unrealistically high number of bullets to die, especially on the higher difficulties, and since the enemy AI isn’t the brightest, the game compensates for it by throwing them at you by the dozen. Aiming and hit detection are also vastly improved and there’s a hint of an aim assist on Medium difficulty. Weapons feel more powerful and gun shots sound appropriately punchy this time around. Since there’s so much of blood spilling and cover-taking involved, it’s a good thing that the developers have vastly improved everything from the shooting mechanics to the cover system. There are a couple of missions that stray from the monotonous cover-based killing sprees, and those missions are a lot of fun, but there aren’t enough of them, and that’s especially disappointing considering some of the memorable set pieces that the first game had. It’s a corridor shooter, where most of the time, your objective will be to get from point A to B on linear maps, taking cover when necessary, and dropping as many bodies as possible on the way. That sets the tone for lots of cover-based corridor shooting, and eventually, that’s what Kane & Lynch 2 boils down to. As you would no doubt have predicted, things don’t go as smoothly as expected, and the unlikely duo quickly finds itself in the crosshairs of what seems like the entire Shanghai underworld. And while the first game revolved around Kane, this time, Lynch is at the center of things, with Kane joining him to carry out a seemingly routine arms deal. While the first game took place across several locations, this one is set entirely in Shanghai.
