A flawed mercenary and a medicated psychopath forced together on a violent and chaotic path seeking redemption and revenge. No means is too harsh as the volatile partnership is pushed beyond reason in this brutally realistic, character-driven third person action shooter from IO Interactive, the creators of Hitman.
I dont like It's only a theory, but it is likely that Eidos has not announced a sequel to "Kane & Lynch" for nothing. It's almost disappointing to think that the producer turned a blind eye to so many mistakes just in order to launch the game in a hurry and profit from sequels and film adaptations. Everything here is nothing but broken promises and unmet expectations - unfortunately, we are tired of knowing that a game is not just good ideas. "Kane & Lynch" could have an excellent visual and dozens of options online and still continue in the same precarious situation if he maintained the gameplay frustrating and inaccurate, part of this first episode. If you want to honor the work of Io Interactive, the four editions of "Hitman" are more than enough.

Good game! Rough edges aside, Kane & Lynch is still a solid squad-based shooter with plenty of action, great characters, tight story and a slew of cinematic influences so brazenly clear you can't help but smirk at them.

On PS3, need improvements Really thought I could get some more graphics. But Hey, the story is fun, the difficulty is good, but, the game engine is kind of a really SAD thing, enemies AI are cheap. Don't expect multi player fun, nobody is online. If you want a cheap game, to play some 15 hours and past your time, it has its fun on shooting and characters.
Not a bad game though not great This is a game I would have gotten 'Used' if I could. It started off interesting enough, but the storyline could use a lot of improvement, it's short and at times incoherent. The AI needs a lot of help, especially in the last few stages. We can see why the price is subsequently adjusted for the quality it is.
