Kane and Lynch: Dead Men

Kane and 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!

Kane and Lynch: Dead Men is the new action shooter franchise from creators of the multi-million selling Hitman series. Currently in development by Io-Interactive, Kane and Lynch: Dead Men will be released for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system.

"Kane and Lynch is quite a good crime drama experience and serves as a plausible move away from the Hitman stealth series... Kevin Hall, Gamers' Temple
"...a solid squad-based shooter with plenty of action, great characters, tight story and a slew of cinematic influences... PSW Magazine UK

	Innovative Multi-Player Levels: Based on the game's themes for up to 8 players.
	Tense and Unpredictable Experience: This is the violent and chaotic journey of two men: a flawed mercenary and a medicated psychopath.

IGN.com 7 of 10
Kane & Lynch may have one of the most unfortunate titles in the history of games. Although the name may inspire thoughts of racial injustice, IO Interactive's spiritual successor to Freedom Fighters and follow up to Hitman: Blood Money has nothing to do with race relations. Even so, it will manage to raise an eyebrow or two with its visceral story and characters that almost save the title from its clunky gameplay...The game actually gets its title from the two stars of the game, Kane and Lynch. These are not your ordinary heroes. In fact, the game begins with the duo en route to death row. A mysterious paramilitary outfit that calls itself The7 breaks the two out. Kane, it seems, is a former member of the group and has a lot of money that they feel owed. Lynch, a medicated psychopath, is recruited to keep an eye on Kane while he gets The7 what they want. From there, the plot follows a series of twists, turns and betrayals with a whole lot of killing along the way...The enemy AI has just as many issues taking cover as you do. We've seen them press up against cover that doesn't exist and take cover on walls that leave them in plain sight. That is, of course, if they're even smart enough to do that, which isn't always the case. Call us crazy, but if we saw three friends who were standing right next to us get shot in the head one after another by a sniper rifle, we probably wouldn't sit in one place to wait and see what will happen. In Kane & Lynch, we've seen the AI do just that...Kane & Lynch is a game that many people will play through and enjoy simply because of the forceful story and characters. 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. - Erik Brudvig
