Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Preview
With the Hitman series already well established, Danish developer Io Interactive are not exactly masters of the family friendly game. This latest effort is their most violent and shocking yet, as you take control of reluctant mercenary Kane and his schizophrenic partner Lynch. Neither character likes the other but for the purposes of the story they have to work together in a series of violent third person shoot outs. By default you control Kane, with the computer or another player taking on the role of Lynch. As the game progress you will also be able to recruit a team of up to eight mercenaries, with your reputation determining the quality of the personnel applying for the job. Ordering your squad around is easy enough but since any of them, particularly Lynch, can have completely different objectives to you, they won’t always take orders – particularly if they’ve taken a dislike to you already - which is a real problem when you want them to administer some first aid.
Although it is much more action packed than the Hitman games, there are obviously similarities between the two games, with highly interactive environments and multiple ways to approach any problem. One particular highlight already demonstrated involves a kidnapping at a rave with Kane & Lynch firing into the air to disperse a large crowd of dancers before engaging in a brutal gun battle with security guards, as the sound and music system continues to flash and blare. If the rest of the game is just as inventive with its scenarios then Io may well keep Kane and Lynch alive for a little longer.

Fun:
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! you will regret it. it is terrible. the camera angle is wierd so that the character is not in the middle ofthe screen but to the left , the controls are confusing (and non editable) and the cover system is rubbish. this may be the worst 3rd person shooter ever made. also the graphics are terrible.

Personally i think this game is a brilliant shoot out game and reccomend others to play it.It is an addictive game and lets be fair it is relativly cheap.For all those gaming fans out there i would say that kane and lynch dead men is a definate 8.5/10

Fun:
From the makers of Hitman; inspired by some of the greatest crime movies around - think Michael Mann / Tarantino / Scorsese; great trailers and very favourable previews in gaming press...
All of these aspects add to the utter disappointment experienced when the disc slots into the console. The opening levels are dull - unimaginative settings, poor graphics, rubbish artificial intelligence (read: no intelligence) and no emotions at all evoked from the awful scripting and voice-acting of the two lead characters. I've never felt so hemmed in by invisible walls, with the only distraction from the onset of claustrophobia being the constant bugs that plague the game. The cover system is similar to that used in many other games - Rainbow Six Vegas, Splinter Cell etc - but despite having these excellent examples to work from the developers have still managed to implement it with the kind of incompetence that would usually be reserved for "junior officials" at Her Majesty's Revenue And Customs.
The only film that the game does manage to do justice to is in fact, Die Hard II. Specifically the scene where Bruce Willis' wrong-place/wrong-time LA cop is chasing down William Sadler's gang of snowmobile-riding terrorists. Brucey bags one of their weapons and trains the sight on his target, only to hit nothing but air. They're firing blanks! Which is exactly what happens regularly in Kane & Lynch.
Admittedly I haven't attempted the game in co-op mode or multiplayer, so you'll have to rely on the wise words of another reviewer for those aspects... but unless the developers treated the single player mode like a mock-GCSE exam - starting and finishing it overnight before the big (I almost typed "bug" there... would that really have been classified as a typo?) day - then I would be nothing short of astounded.
One last thing to mention is that the squad command system is lifted almost exactly from IO's ace and highly underrated Freedom Fighters... but alas the implementation is on a par with the other faults of the game.
Do yourself a favour and pick up Hitman: Blood Money, Freedom Fighters, Michael Mann's 'Heat' on DVD, and for a truly magnificent next-gen shooter experience - Call Of Duty 4.
