WhitneyKane and Lynch Review and Trailer
June 16th 2008 15:14
Kane and Lynch: Dead Men is named after the two main characters- Kane and Lynch- who you will find on death row in the beginning of the game. Together the unlikely team must survive together and make a few killings along the way.
The amount of violence pulled in the Kane and Lynch video game is top-notch when compared to other action games on the market. The curse words just fly out of their mouths, and the motivations behind the characters are enough to make anyone feel for them.
The game includes traditional cut scenes and game-play, but the storyline never ends. The two characters argue and interact between each other, throughout the game, which reveals the plot and makes the game more cinematic.
Although, the plot is well constructed, the game doesn't play as smoothly. The game lacks focus and needs to be polished ever so slightly.
Kane and Lynch is a third-person shooter game, yet players get the option to play with their own style. You can either play individually or as a group. The characters will even act on their own, so you can ignore them if you don't have the man-power to handle them.
Once you get started, the game breaks down quickly.
The cover system is unwieldy at times and pretty much useless at others. Without a good cover system, the game is pretty generic.
Without the few hard and frustrating scenes, Dead Men could be finished in one day. Some of the scenes are irritating, and most many gamers just give up and move on, but these sections can be genuinely fun.
Although the storyline and presentation of the game is great, the development of the game is lacking, in terms of gameplay and graphics. The graphics are pretty basic, in terms of today's standard of realistic explosions.
The online mode is unique and actually pretty fun, especially with a group of friends. You can play with 4 to 6 players, while you collect all the money and valuables as you can will staying alive. The catch is that you have to split all your goods with your team-mates. If you kill them, you get all the goods to yourself, but anyone that dies is respawned on the opposite team. If they then come back on the other side, you can collect all the goods from your former team-mates that you've killed and are given a bonus if you take revenge on anyone who betrays you.
The Fragile Alliance mode, the online gameplay, is probably the best addition to the game.
