Get Agent 47 on the phone - we've two chumps to be put out of their misery...

Apart from the Retomoto office battle and the lovely bit where you bust into a prison to round up your men for a big job, Kane & Lynch will leave you cold. You’ll get plenty of gun-toting action and plenty of baddies to carve down, but for every moment you go “Wow, this is pretty good,” there’s another when you’ll be cursing it to hell.

Take the bit where Kane’s daughter is brought to a building site to be executed. She’s cowering in a hole as a screen-filling dumper truck rumbles toward her. It does make you gasp as it thunders along, but taking out the driver is needlessly tricky - the windshield seems to be made from bulletproof glass. A couple of clips from a machine gun help, but IO have made it seemingly indestructible in order to prolong one of their money shots. They’ve done the same thing with the police cars’ tires during chase sequences, as aiming at the wheels while hanging out of the getaway van will only knock the cars off course for a split second. This unfairly makes the game more difficult than it needs to be, because Kane & Lynch is easy enough to pound through in about six hours. It’s that short.

Game Play is Slow, not very much excitment..Controls could have been better as well...When running or aiming, the screenshot always has to have a angle to it that makes it hard to aim correctly and in a timely manner. Seems like everything is a little transparent it the game during gameplay...Including the main charictars, walls, vehicles just adding extra confusion during gameplay...If i were to rate this from 1-10 Id rate it at a 4.5 !!

I disagree with the review...its really not that bad, yeah there are some issues, and yeah it could have been much more but its a good laugh, me and my mate have started playing it recently and had got really into it, they should make a No2 and iron out some of the slight issues, it would truly be a gold game no doubt...try it....you might actually like it..
