Starts off Strong at least

User Rating: 6.5 | Kane & Lynch: Dead Men PC
I was pretty hopeful for this one. I love IO interactive and the way they make the later hitman games, but this is just unacceptable mediocre.

Graphics
The environment crumbles away nicely, and the characters are well detailed, but all in all it ends up looking quite bland and nothing really stands out as that great. The visuals are just really lacking overalll, and the whole game it would stutter which was just plain annoying. Oh and i cant forget how bad the explosions look. Probably the worst ive seen in a game so far, as it laacks any real punch

Gameplay
As you have seen in every other review, K&L DM has standard 3rd person shooting mechanics, and nothing more. You get your assault and heavy weapons, rail sequences, and minor explosives. Really not that exciting in the least. The only exciting parts are in the beginning, but thats when you are doing heists and rappelling down large buildings, which was pretty cool at least.

Story
Two men, Kane and Lynch, are on death row and escape their transport, and seek out revenge on the Se7en, a group of high class gangsters that have ruined Kanes life. You spend the whole game trying to kill the rest of them off, and then it ends. The ending also sucked, which added to the foul taste i got from about 1/2 way through the game till the end. Lost its entertainment and some interest by then.

I was hoping that K&L would be better than it actually was. Everything about the game just was underwhelming, and i really hope they make the sequel a good one, because it needs to be after this dissapoinment.
