Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is a 2010 neo-noir psychological thriller third-person shooter video game developed by IO Interactive, published by Square Enix for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Players in the campaign mode of Kane & Lynch 2 take control of Lynch who is backed up by Kane (except in the last mission, where the player takes control of Kane).
The online enabled cooperative mode allows one player to take control of Kane.
Players can carry two of any weapon they can grab from dead enemies, but unlike the previous game cannot swap weapons between allies. Players can take cover through a button press.
While still having regenerating health, players can also get knocked down, though are able to immediately get back up.
During single player missions, allies are invulnerable and cannot be given commands, making it unnecessary to look out for them.
Unlike Dead Men, the PC version does not support split-screen co-op.
