Kane & Lynch: Dead Men

(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...Read more

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...Read more

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.
