"I love this game." - 25 November 2007
Too start off my point everyone is comparing Kane And Lynch with either COD4 and Assassins Creed and I ask myself why, this game is not for casual gamers its not for the people whogive up after dying once or the light of heart.
This game plays like a movie, there are epic firefights akin too the most amazing movie scenes.
Too me Eidos and IO really pushed the boat out and made a fantastic game, if you think your characters are too slow, stick the sensitivity up to 80 in the options menu and you'll be having fun with the medicated psycopath and the traitor in no time.

"Adverts look good but..." - 26 November 2007
I bought it and played it for about an hour before I found myself screaming at my flat screen telly in disbelief as the simplest task became awkward to execute due to poor controls and gameplay design.
The graphics are OK, not brilliant by any means but this game feels like a poor mans effort to make hitman a bit more of a shooter. The weapons feel just as flat, quiet and tame compared to the barking machine guns of other shooters such as Half Life etc so killing lots of people doesn't even make me that happy. A wasted chance by the developers I think.
Buy COD4 instead and play it on Veteran for a challenge.

"Gung Ho Shooter, with a very cool feel" - 29 November 2007
Okay, so the "hardcore" gamers here have found its not as raw as GRAW, well thats true. And if GRAW is a better game, who cares (I own both by the way) - thats not the point of K&L. If any of you have played Hitman and liked basically how cool it is, how it's a movie in a game (and now there's a movie of the game of course) but wanted more shooting, more explosions and less creeping about, then this is for you.
As for crack shot enemies etc, targeting problems etc. just play it through on the easiest "Aspirin" mode and have a blast - it's just like a film where the good guys never die! Then you can play with the online multiplayer to your hearts desire.
Relax, this is a fun game and I would recommend it to all. Just don't buy it over GRAW or Gears or something else that everyone says is amazing, if you're just going to moan about it afterwards.

"lo-interactive fans" - 9 December 2007
hi just aquick review on this game which i have got.
For any one how has played the hitman series and freedomfigthers this game is for you!
The game is a mix between Hitman and Freedomfigthers. A brilliant story with intense fire figths all the way through. 2 different endings. Characters are well planned and designed.
Multiyplayer is not so good! All you do is rob banks, foodstores ect. witnin a time limit and not that much action. You play as the mercs/robbers and when you die via getting shot by bad a.i cops, you then help cops to hunt the thieves down. So cops and robbers. Although i do go ahead and play ounce you get into it, its good but first time you play M.P its a bit boaring.
Another brilliant game made by lo-interactive.

"One of a kind" - 23 December 2007
Confused as to whether to get this game? too many conflicting reviews?
Ask yourself, do you like interesting, twisted characters and a great plot? do you like an element of strategy and team leadership in your games, do you like a realistic aiming system, (does anyone really think firing a real gun and hitting the target is as easy as it is in a video game? come on!)
I despair of people who bleat and complain about quality games such as this, either you 'get' just what this game is offering you or you don't, if you do then it will offer you one of the best gaming experiences you could hope for, games like this are special and only come along every once in a while, IO Interactive created Hitman, and they have another gem on their hands with Kane and Lynch, and I think they know it as they are already working on the sequel, it wouldn't surprise me if the Kane and Lynch series becomes a movie one day just as Hitman did, it would certainly make the transition better than Hitman, Lynch; a self medicating schizophrenic murdered his wife and didn't even know it, but we won't hold that against him, he is an absolute scream at times the way he behaves, his rantings and paranoid comments cracked me up time and time again in this game, he just can't help himself, when Kane says 'keep calm' the reply is 'I am calm, are you saying I'm not calm?' or was that Liam Gallagher, I forget.
Either way, I hope you enjoy this gaming gem.

"If you like Hitman, you'll like this." - 1 January 2008
I can't believe all the poor reviews for this game. I havn't completely finished the game but from what I've seen it's great. If you liked the Hitman series you'll like this game, it has the same style and gameplay which I really enjoy. I suppose it's a case of you either loving it or hating it, but I really don't know how some people can rate this game so lowly.
The graphics are quite impressive at times, at least as good as Halo 3 and fewer people bitched about the way that looked. Overall, I think this game is ace, if you like games that are a bit different give it a try.

"definitely under-rated." - 20 January 2008
so many reviews are slating this game. i really do think its quite excellent probably second only to mass effect in my xbox collection (with the usual candidates GOW and halo 3 way below). First of all I'd like to say a lot of the issues other people have with the game i jsut haven't had. I didn't find it too hard. It's challenging, yeah just like hitman. I didn't find aiming a problem, ok machines guns are hit and miss but a rifle is pretty much spot on, surely thats quite realistic? i didn't hate the story line, it's no enthralling quest like good ol' mass effect, thats for sure, but it isn't bad. it's definitely entertaining. I thought the cover system worked rather well. I think that playing this game is more like doing it in real life, in a way. Whereas you might be looking for cheap leg-shot kills and cover that makes you totally invulnerable in other games you won't find it here. I think as what it set out to be a games take on true Michael Mann style action movie its truly superb. Hosts of memorable levels, very good gameply (i think anyway) and good variety too. This isn't run shoot repeat like halo or GOW or the army boy approach of COD4 (which is pretty excellent admittedly), this is a more stylised film approach with much more vulnerable and edgy chracters. I'm a big fan of IO, loving hitman and the equally underated Freedom Fighters and i don't think this game disappoints at all. Whatever is said about this game it doesnt look like many people are sitting on the fence. And as for divided opinions go, my opinion is very high. If you like hitman, heat, collateral or miami vice then just try it. if you want halo 4, i really wouldnt say this is it.

"The best shooting game on 360" - 6 February 2008
This game is the best game on 360. I can't believe how good it is. If you like shooting games, you like this. It is a bit different in style to most other shooting games, but it makes a change to have something different after COD 4 and Halo games, being almost the same, jsut with different settings and storylines. Plus this game has 1 of the best onlines ever.

"Back to basics shooter...shines in Co-op!!" - 3 April 2008
This game is absolutely awesome, I dont understand the negative reviews its recieving, I love this game, it doesn't bring anything new to the 3rd person shooter genre, it's just oldskool shooting fun (which I always love).
Playing this singer player is great (but can be frustrating, as your computer controlled partner 'Lynch' does eff all to help), this is why the game seriously comes into its own in co-op mode, Player 1 controls Kane and Player 2 controls Lynch.
Shotting up some cops, prison gaurds and some hostages with a friend by your side watching your back is utterly addictive and will keep you hooked.
The gameplay is solid and the enemy AI is unrelenting especially on the harder difficulties, the story is good and helps drive the game, the voice acting is spot on, and the graphics are beautiful and fit the overall feel of the game.
The cover system works well, sneaky greande kills are always satisfying and the close quater kills never get old.
Team work in co-op is key on harder difficulties to get through the relentless levels.
This game is worth picking up if you love oldskool shooting fun, but if you are like me and are looking for that addictive co-op shooter (before 'Army of Two' is released) give 'Lynch & Kane' a spin.
It will not dissapoint.
