Kane and Lynch: Dead Men™ is the new action shooter franchise from the creators of Hitman. Enter the violent and chaotic journey of two men—a flawed mercenary and a medicated psychopath. This volatile partnership combined with innovative technologies allows for an unparalleled gaming experience.
The epic crime drama feel is delivered through IO Interactive's proprietary technology boasting fluid high definition graphics and lighting, highly destructible environments, massive crowd A.I., and non-stop dialog between Kane and Lynch.
The shooter experience is equally intense with single and co-op play, a crew-based combat system where players lead and control the actions of their crews, and a groundbreaking online crime-based multiplayer mode for four to eight players.
Unique and enjoyable Ignore the reviews and the demo: I found this game really entertaining and enjoyable. The storyline is totally fresh and new, different to anything else out at the moment. The gameplay is well crafted and very fun, the camera angle is a bit annoying but the smoothness of the gameplay makes up for it. Be merciful and you'll get the feel for it. The game feels like nothing else (except maybe Hitman) but the gameplay is well crafted. The only issue I had with the game was the end of the story mode which wasn't as good as the start. This game is definitely worth a try.
thumbs up i was worried before playing this as i had heard bad things about it, but all my fears were put to rest, there are only two things i can think of that they should have worked on 1: its a little on the short side but thats not a real problem if you're like me and usually play a game 2-3 times through when you get it. 2: the cross hair's can be a little annoying at times because their a little small but other than that, the game is terrific, story is awesome, game play is fun and the voice actors do a terrific job of giving you a memorable experience
great game at a great price absolutely amazing game great graphics and story. Only bad thing is its a little on the short side, however multiplayer is alot of fun and has alot of people playing at all times. playasia you've done it again, a great game at a rock bottom price! +1
Nowhere near as bad as the sacked guy said Kinda like an RPG x a tacticial shooter. I'm not so into most of the shooting bits, cause it's too fiddly trying to center the cross-hairs on anyone.
But if you like that and are into crime-action films, then you should enjoy this.
Does have that odd ability some titles have, to just complete sections without really doing it properly. Not a complaint, more a curious observation; its weird knowing you messed it up but you still finish the task.
Does have varying methods of play - you can sit back and just issue position and fight commands (if you do it well there's a Sun Tzu achievement, lol), and the characters are pretty funny in a constant-foul-language crime film kinda way. If you like you can turn off the blood. I didn't, I shoot them if they're still moving whilst they lie on the ground.
Might seem inconsistent if you read my Viva Pinata review here, but it's still true. Different type of game.
3.5 from me - a strong 4 at least if this is your kinda game.
