Kane & Lynch isn't horrible but doesn't offer much
Pros-
#1.Lynch is interesting
#2.Many different maps
#3.Co-op.I have not tried it but at least there is the option
#4.The story is unique in the sense that there is no "good guys"
#5.There is multiplayer but there was nobody online playing for me to try it
Cons-
#1.The AI is really stupid and unrealistic and will kill the game for some people
#2.The story is nothing special but Lynch is the one good thing in it
#3.The cover system and the aiming system both hurt the game and should of been improved
#4.Not being able to skip cut scenes.I don't remember if I could skip some of them but I know for sure I couldn't skip them all and that sucked
#5.The swearing is in overkill.I swear every day but it seemed a little excessive in this game.I could be wrong on this as I have no idea what the average prisoner or robber in America would call excessive swearing
#6.I didn't like the ending of the game
The selfish ending where he leaves the men behind to die seemed realistic.You shouldn't feel happy or rewarded for being selfish.I would of taken this ending out of the game anyway because it sucks even if it is realistic
The saving your men ending I didn't like it either.I think Kane should of died and Lynch and Jenny should of escaped
I know that is not realistic if they were planning to make another Kane and Lynch game which they did.Kane would obviously have to survive both endings.I would rather Lynch got his own game
I just would of felt more sorry for Kane if he had died.I didn't find Kane to be interesting or likable.With his daughter dying I felt sorry for her and not him.If he had died then they could of shown her forgiving him.I think that would of been the best ending
The Bottom Line -
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is not for everyone.The gameplay is a thumbs down but the game does have a variety of different map locations.Lynch was the only interesting part of the story
The game is made by the same people who make the hitman games.I kept waiting for Agent 47 to show up because it looks so similar to the hitman series.Do not be confused the hitman games are much better then this.Hitman Blood Money has better graphics and gameplay and is older then K and L
Kane & Lynch also reminded me of the Max Payne series in the sense of nothing seems to go right for Max or Kane.The Max Payne games are much better then K and L so don't read too much into my comparison
If I was you then I would pass on Kane & Lynch: Dead Men.The gameplay being the most important reason.The AI being so stupid and how hard it can be to aim at targets that are easily in range of the guns you shoot is very unrealistic
If you must buy it then get it $5 or less on steam and have low expectations
My 2 cents
