Kane and Lynch: Dead Men is the new action shooter franchise by Io-Interactive, creators of the multi-million selling Hitman series. Kane & Lynch: Dead Men follows the violent and chaotic journey of two men - a flawed mercenary and a medicated psychopath - and their brutal attitude towards right and wrong. This volatile partnership combined with innovative technologies allow for an unparalleled gaming experience.
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men immerses players in an emotionally intense crime drama with unflinching action. Io-Interactive's proprietary technology delivers fluid high definition graphics and lighting; highly destructible environments; massive crowd AI; a cinematic interface; and non-stop dialog between Kane and Lynch.
Tense and unpredictable experience - This is the violent and chaotic journey of two men: a flawed mercenary and a medicated psychopath. Each hates the other but must work together to save themselves and possibly the ones they love.
Violence erupts in meticulously created 'safe' worlds - Realistic and responsive environments and crowds react when events get of out control. Crowded nightclubs and calm bank offices become scenes of sudden terror. Manipulate the environments and crowds strategically to complete objectives.
Wide variety of intense 3rd person game play - Rappel from buildings; fire on the run or from moving vehicles; launch surprise attacks, lay down cover fire, and shoot blind from around corners; and hurl smoke, tear, and incendiary grenades.
Fast and intuitive combat - Lead a crew of criminal mercenaries to increase your chance of surviving and reaching your goals. You can also fight alone as your crew AI will automatically draw fire, throw grenades, lay down cover, and engage in close combat with their own signature moves.
This game looked far better as a concept than what I actually ended up playing, I know it's an old game and all, but the gameplay was hardly enjoyable, specially on the second half of the game, shooting enemies is pretty janky, crazy bullet spread, etc.
Story was salvageable if anything, got a few interesting scenes on the first half too, also lost interesting in it as the game progressed.
I can see why anyone would like this one though, I just didn't myself.
The game has well-written, strong, and enigmatic main characters who are also very ruthless and brutal. The plot is like a class-B action movie but with many memorable sequences. The area where the game sucks, are the mechanics: stupid enemy and friendly AI, poorly implemented cover system, and bad shooting mechanic (for example only automatic reload, really?). Plot and characters were the only things that got me hooked and wanted to continue.If you can forgive many flaws, I still recommend it.
Kane and Lynch: Dead Men is not a great game. It's not a terrible game, either.
You'll be following the adventure of the titular Kane and Lynch - a former mercenary and his watchdog, respectively - as they become embroiled in a simple contract that gradually spins out of their control. You'll shoot things with Lynch, tell Lynch to stand somewhere and shoot things, or tell Lynch shoot the same person you're shooting at. You'll shoot cars, guys in suits, cops, more cops, Cuban soldiers, thugs, and so on. Sometimes you'll use grenades.
It's not fantastic. If you're looking for interesting mechanics, varied challenge - or just variety in general, really - you really ought to pass on this and the sequel. That being said, as a solo experience, I did feel compelled to finish it.
The story is threadbare, often jumping from location to location with just enough dialogue for the transitions make sense. Some of those locations are, admittedly, pretty interesting. Without spoiling anything, the first 2/3rds of the campaign will have you raiding nightclubs, engaging in gunfights on open streets, and besieging corporate buildings, which fits with the same sort of action-crime-movie motif the game has going for it. But then you go to Cuba and any personality the game had vanishes immediately.
You won't play for the story. I sure didn't.
Thankfully, Kane and Lynch have a lot of potential as interesting characters with a decent amount of chemistry between them, something that would be expanded on in the sequel. Kane is a cool-headed, remorseful family man while Lynch is a medicated sociopath that can't seem to stay calm at the absolute worst moments. The two play off each other decently enough throughout the adventure and thankfully don't overstay their welcome.
In short, Kane and Lynch: Dead Men is a hard sell unless you're willing to look past a few issues. I had fun, but I wouldn't highly recommend it. The sequel, Dog Days, is a more interesting game overall.
**Review: Kane & Lynch: Dead Men**
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is a visceral, gritty tale that immerses players in the dark and chaotic world of crime. The narrative follows two antiheroes: Kane, a former mercenary, and Lynch, a mentally unstable ex-psycho, as they navigate betrayal, violence, and desperation. Their story is anything but straightforward, filled with moral ambiguity and raw emotion that keeps players engaged from start to finish.
The game excels in delivering an intense, action-packed experience. The combat is brutal and unforgiving, perfectly capturing the desperation of its characters. Players will find themselves immersed in firefights that demand strategy and quick reflexes. The chaotic gunplay, combined with a variety of weapons and tactics, keeps the adrenaline pumping as you push through missions that often spiral out of control.
One of the standout features of Kane & Lynch is its local co-op play, which enhances the already thrilling gameplay. Teaming up with a friend allows for shared strategy, camaraderie, and even some comedic moments amid the chaos. Whether you're executing heists or battling through waves of enemies, the cooperative experience adds a layer of fun and engagement that's hard to replicate.
In summary, Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is a gritty, action-packed shooter that doesn't shy away from the darker sides of human nature. With its compelling storyline and excellent local co-op play, it's a fantastic choice for those looking to dive into a world of crime and chaos with a friend by their side. If you're seeking an intense gaming experience that combines narrative depth with relentless action, this game is definitely worth your time.
Kane & Lynch to dla mnie jeden z dziwniejszych produktów, w jakie grałem. Jest to jednocześnie gra na 8/10 jak i 5/10
Jedne misje to totalne GOAT-y, które pozwalają poczuć się, jak w prawdziwym, męskim kinie sensacyjnym jak "Gorączka", czy "Zakładnik". Ucieczka ulicami miasta po napadzie na bank to level wprost wyjęty z filmu Michaela Manna. Zresztą, do dziś mam ciary na wspomnienie tej misji i w moim osobistym rankingu znajduje się ona w TOP 10 najlepszych leveli, jakie ograłem - a są tam m. in. takie tuzy jak wizyta w Czarnobylu w Call of Duty 4, misja samobójcza w Mass Effect 2, czy A Dance with the Devil w Hitmanie: Blood Money.
Inne to nudne strzelanki, przy których ciężko powstrzymać się od zaśnięcia. A uczucie to powoduje bardzo słaba, niedopracowana mechanika strzelania.
Czy warto zagrać? Pewnie tak. Choćby dla pierwszych misji, które są genialne. Czy warto ukończyć? Pewnie nie.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
