Great Fun And Highly Underrated.

"Kane And Lynch: Dead Men" is one of the most underrated games I have ever played. I honestly heard nothing but negative comments about it. Critics were giving it crap for having bad shooting mechanics, and too many "f" words. Lets just say there are quite a few of those words, but it's for the best. Two men on death row are bound to swear a little bit. On the first mission I realized the shooting was going to be rather difficult to get a hang of. It is more difficult than any other game, but you get used to it after awhile and move one. The game also has a cover system, which I admit is a bit of a pain in the ass. There is no specific button to press to go into cover mode, it just kind of does it automatically, which can get frustrating at times when multiple enemies are shooting at you.

There is only one other aspect to complain about, and that is the a.i.(artificial intelligence). You will occasionally see them sitting in the middle of nowhere when in a shootout, making it an easy kill, no big deal really.

Lets get to the positive aspects. What I first noticed when starting the game, were the graphics and textures. Every character and all the environment look very real. Especially Kane And Lynch, the developers really made them look gritty and pretty intimidating.

I also noticed that the story is excellent. It really flows and makes a lot of sense. I never caught myself confused in any way, or thinking to myself "This is dull". It is like starring in an entertaining film.

Great close combat as well. No gun? no worries, just take your enemy down with a few hits. I thought that was a good aspect to add.

Why is this game underrated in my opinion? because I didn't notice any thing majorly wrong with it, like the ratings were showing. I am beginning to really enjoy "Kane and Lynch". This just goes to tell you, ratings mean almost nothing, it is all about preference. If you ask me, buy this game.
