If Breaking Bad somehow killed off the main characters and focused on any one of the crazed henchmen, it wouldn't look too disimilar to Kane and Lynch. All you can do is shoot, and all the plot can do is neander to 90's homages until it ends. You will find references to Heat, Predator, and Collateral. Where those references are generally found in light-hearted games like Saints Row 4, Kane and Lynch's story and aesthetics are miserable and depraved, so it almost feels tone-deaf. The simple shooter action is blindsided by a callous story, one that drunkenly falls to a sad corpse of an ending that leaves an awful taste in your mouth. Its worth the few dollars spent, but the sequel is where this game's ideas work together. These games are painful, not forgettable.
