Here is whats right with Kane & Lynch January 29, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
First lets start with what is wrong. Yeah the game play is a little laggy, I personally hate the controls, and I thought the story play was totally unbelievable. One second your in a prison, then to a bank, then to amazon rain forest. Seriously?! The aiming is messy, and I found the zoom on most weapons to be sub-par. I also personally had trouble aiming while in cover, or getting into cover for the matter as well. But I do love this genre of game. So onward -
I played most of this game on the split screen co-op mode, on Aspirin setting. I found it a little hard in some parts.
But its not all bad, here is what I really liked about the game. First off, its violent, and the cursing is fine with me. But What I really liked which I found to be unique to this game was when you play on co-op Lynch and Kane sometimes have different missions to complete on story mode, they can't help each other, and if one dies the mission is over. I thought that was pretty unique and cool. I also like that the game has two endings, based on what Lynch picks. Sure, maybe the game was slightly a let down, OK fine I'll give you that. But at the same time, I still think it's a decent game.

When it comes to most gamers, my title is dead on. Here's what joe shmo consumer should know: Some fat guy with a bad attitude used to work at a video game site (games spot) and he got fired. This game was his most famous review because he panned it. That's really about as interesting as this story goes but for some reason, since this was brought up (his panning the game in a video review as possibly being the reason he got fired) over and over again in the gaming press, if you'll call it that since most is just blogs, a lot of jerk off with a computer have rampantly targeted the game without playing it and basically smeared its reputation.
I'm sure they can come up with the same four canned reasons they read this game suffers from being a 10/perfect game. Honestly, it's leagues ahead of Halo 3, which is just more of the same and for an additional $60 a year you can play against these same hate spewing jerks on xbox live in multiplayer. Look, it's Kane and Lynch is a good game. The story is subversive and about 90% of it risky. Will you love it? Probably not. But will it be like everything else out there? No. Look, in a time where a lot of game developers are trying to mix social commentary, subversive plot lines, unlikeable characters, and different kinds of game play together because god forbid they had something different to say... people who like more of the same will disagree.
I'm not going to bash other games. Hell, I'll even take back my Halo game. Although, I'd like Bungie, the publisher, to make a really original title and stop making sequels. I will say, try it out. If you like Reservoir Dogs or the Pusher triology or Heat or Godfellas, then you know there's going to be very unsavory characters here. That's why the game is fun because you probably are not one of these guys and you probably wouldn't let one of these guys around your wife or kids. The graphics are actually wonderful because you're playing in crowded places with innocent people. Lots of them. The sound is great and the game feels more like a movie.
Pretty much, my advice is that if you are going through reviews online, and you see one or two that drastically disagree, use that as fuel to think twice. You would in normal life so it can spill over into online judgements, too.
Don't buy this game. Rent it... AT BEST! January 22, 2008

Quite possibly ONE OF THE WORSE GAMES ever released for the playstation 3, considering the price point charged to its gamers. I gave this the benefit of the doubt, after reading many negative reviews. I should've listened. TRULY AWFUL GAME for a nextgen console, like the PS3.
Not as bad as everyone says January 12, 2008

If you don't like crime movies with tons of swearing and blood, then you'll hate Kane and Lynch. Yes it's very violent and pretty much every other word that comes out of the character's mouths is the F-word, so if you're easily offended, stay away. Since I don't mind swearing or blood, I rented it and it wasn't AS bad as people said it was. It was still bad, though.
CONS-
poor shooting controls
bad cover system
aiming is a mess
swear words felt tacked on and unnecessary
many glitches
teammates are stupid and unresponsive
PROS-
good story
above-average graphics
good voice acting
interesting and somewhat likeable characters
gritty atmosphere and environments
makes you feel like you're in a crime movie
