Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days from IO Interactive is looking super sharp, not because the developer is creating the world’s most graphically impressive game, but rather because Kane & Lynch 2 features some of the most striking visual direction a triple-A studio has dared to inject into a videogame of this generation.

Using ‘simple’ camera tricks and filters, IO has managed to create a game with a very unique aesthetic that is instantly recognisable, with graphics technology that is arguably a little on the old side.

The only question is how long will one be able to play Kane & Lynch 2 without feeling a little ill with all of the visual stimuli? To decide for yourself, get a taste of Kane & Lynch 2’s gameplay below with two videos featuring singleplayer and multiplayer action:
