  Others will find the gameplay isn't up to speed with the rest of the gaming world and wonder why anyone would bother. Frustration should never enter into a game because of the mechanics, but with Kane & Lynch it does. Loose gameplay, a brief campaign, and a single (albeit good) online mode with four maps hurt this title that could have been so much more.

  If you enjoy games with decent plots, developed characters and brilliant dialogue, this violent, offensive and witty action game is probably worth your attention, and if you're a shooting game purist, try not to expect too much and you'll still have plenty to enjoy.

  Popcorn-crunching blockbuster in need of better scripting

  All in all, Kane and Lynch is a bad game. With characters like Kane and Lynch, we should have seen more variety in the plot and gameplay -- with developers like IO Interactive, we should have seen better shooting mechanics and level design. A few fun levels aside, Kane and Lynch's gameplay isn't particularly fun and the repetitive storyline only serves to further the bland shooting action, but the characters themselves are incredibly unusual and interesting.

  Kane and Lynch go through hell, but you end up getting a pretty sweet deal

  There is some good gaming here, and the groundwork for an amazing sequel is definitely in place, but as is, Kane and Lynch's unpolished feel keep it from being more than a weekend rental recommendation.
