 think for yourself. play before you judge.Mar 03, 2008
By rob damage
"musician, hard-core gamer, old-school punker!"
(before i begin, i must give a very big THANK YOU to XBM for including the Kane & Lynch demo on their magazine demo disk. after reading and watching all the horrible reviews i would have never even bothered to download the demo via XBL. i've learned a very important lesson though, never let other people/reviewers make a decision for you, experience things for yourself, because you never know....)
ok. so this game got really trashed for various reasons, most having to do with some fat reviewer on gamespot, a bunch of his cronies from various other magazines, and tons of mindless "gamers" who never even took the time to play the game. you know all about the stupid controversy, and if you want to learn more, search out gamespot or google. enough. time for my review:
K&L is all about throwing the player into his or her own Michael Mann wet dream. K&L are extremely dark characters, who are very much at home with killing, cussing, betrayal, and death. Kane is a man obsessed with revenge, and Lynch is a skitzo that has lost his mind.
If you are reading this review, you probably know all about the characters and story, so i wont go into detail about it. Just realize one thing: K&L is a character driven game. The thing that sets K&L apart from most all other shooters is that story is the most important feature in the game.
In a word, the game-play is "fun." you usually have a team of baddies with you and with the push of a button can command them to stay close, investigate a certain spot, or attack a specified area. this makes the game very easy to pick up and play and reminiscent of the creaters previous "Freedom Fighters" game.
besides taking care of your team another important thing to remember to do in k&l is to take cover. you can blind fire, or precision aim once you are safely crouched behind a wall or other such life saving barricade. k&l is positively NOT a run n' gun game. far closer to gears of war than to (i dunno, been a while since i played a typical shooter) serious sam, or the punisher?
the game takes you to many different geographical locations, the best being a u.s. airport, a tokyo dance club and on a bank heist.
there is also multiplayer in the game called "fragile alliance." as i do not have the XBL gold membership at this time, i cannot review this part of the game. the object from what i've read is to go in with a team, steal a large sum of money, then decide if you want to murder your partners & keep the loot to yourself, or let everyone live and share it.
K&L is a linear game, yet not to the point where you feel like you cannot use the environment to your benefit. if you see a busted up car far off somewhere, chances are you can run up to it and use it for cover.
many people have complained about the controls in k&l, so let me tell you exactly how it is. ever play hitman? ever play hitman and get so frustrated that you blow your cover and go on a shooting rampage? if you can remember how those controls and targeting system is, you have a (less detailed) idea of how the controls in k&l are. READ the manual. edit the controls to your liking!
no game is perfect and here are the problems i found while playing k&l:
1. hit detection could have used another couple of months work. i'll be firing half a clip off into a far away targets face and nothing happens!
2. cover system could also have used another couple of months work as well. sometimes, i'll try and take cover and absolutely how i fiddle with the coverage, nothing happens.
3. the later levels of K&L, although still gripping and fun, cannot hold a candle to k&l's earlier shootouts.
ultimately, k&l is a very fun, story driven, gritty, adult action game. k&l should definitely NOT be ignored and shunned like it has been, hence the reason why i've written this review.

 Supremely disappointingDec 07, 2007
By N. Durham
"Big Evil"
I was looking forward to Kane & Lynch: Dead Men; an action game where you play as a mercenary and a psychopath, who team up. The concept sounds cool, but the game is sadly an ultimate failure. The cool concept gets killed thanks to some unbelievably bad controls, even more unbelievably bad AI, a surprisingly lame story, and so many utterances of the F-word to make the game seem gritty that a majority of the story and dialogue just comes off as laughable. If you manage to get passed what I just mentioned, you'll find some mindless gunplay to be had, along with some interesting twists on the multiplayer modes (even though there is no online co-op mode), but whether or not you get that far into the game is another story. Let it also be said that Kane & Lynch isn't as bad as many of the reviews here make it out to be, and while the graphics aren't anything to write home about, they're not terrible either. All in all, Kane & Lynch: Dead Men may be worth a glimpse at best, but other than that, this can be easily avoided.

 A big waste of moneyNov 29, 2007
By J. Reed
Kane and Lynch has terrible graphics, poor controls, a lame story, and shoddy collision detection. It is absolutley a TERRIBLE game.They simply dressed a half-baked game with plenty of F-bombs and violence, and hoped gamers wouldn't notice how bad it truly is. You should be VERY careful buying ANY game made by EIDOS (the creators of this piece of trash)as most of their games are as bad as Kane and Lynch, or dare I say worse.
How bad is it? Eidos paid tons of advertising space on the internet for this game, (which has a universal average of under 6.5 out of ten)and now bully game sites into firing their reviewers when they tell people how bad the game is. They are hoping you won't hear how bad this game really is.
Amazon has TONS of GREAT 360 and PS3 games, many that just came out this very month.If you want yourself or a loved one to enjoy the holiday season, buy them one of these better games, and not the HORRIBLE,LAZY, and CRAPPY Kane and Lynch.

Oh the horrorNov 30, 2007
By E. Rousey
This game is terrible. The controls are like wrestling with an alligator, the graphics look like something on the PS1, the story is beyond laughable, and the sound will blow out your speakers (and not in a good way). I wouldn't wish this game on my worst enemy. I just wish I could give it 0 stars. The best thing you can say for this game is that the disc might make a good frisbee. The cover art is the best part of the experience.

Rental only!Nov 26, 2007
By nvcameron
Great idea & concept combined with terrible controls, graphics, & AI. I finished this game on normal in 3 days & didnt play multiplayer & maybe the game is good there but I didnt buy this for multi. This game truly needed about 6 months worth of work or more. How this game made it out of the beta testing phase is one huge mystery.
