With the Hitman series already well established, Danish developer Io Interactive are not exactly masters of the family friendly game. This latest effort is their most violent and shocking yet, as you take control of reluctant mercenary Kane and his schizophrenic partner Lynch. Neither character likes the other but for the purposes of the story they have to work together in a series of violent third person shoot outs. By default you control Kane, with the computer or another player taking on the role of Lynch. As the game progress you will also be able to recruit a team of up to eight mercenaries, with your reputation determining the quality of the personnel applying for the job. Ordering your squad around is easy enough but since any of them, particularly Lynch, can have completely different objectives to you, they won’t always take orders – particularly if they’ve taken a dislike to you already - which is a real problem when you want them to administer some first aid.

Although it is much more action packed than the Hitman games, there are obviously similarities between the two games, with highly interactive environments and multiple ways to approach any problem. One particular highlight already demonstrated involves a kidnapping at a rave with Kane & Lynch firing into the air to disperse a large crowd of dancers before engaging in a brutal gun battle with security guards, as the sound and music system continues to flash and blare. If the rest of the game is just as inventive with its scenarios then Io may well keep Kane and Lynch alive for a little longer.

Brilliant
i don't know why all of these people found this game so unbearable to play. Personally i think this game is a brilliant shoot out game and reccomend others to play it.It is an addictive game and lets be fair it is relativly cheap.For all those gaming fans out there i would say that kane and lynch dead men is a definate 8.5/10

No God No
Im have never played a game as bad as this the AI is horrid well either that or lynch is just extremly thick tho it could be both. The graphics are horrible and the bugs are even worse.

DONT BUY THIS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Good the Bad and the Ugly (Lynch)
I actually quite like this game contrary to what other people say. It is pretty sick in parts, but has plenty of fun value and locations to it.
Sure it has bugs, what game doesnt. The main bug that gets to me is that the AI can shoot you through walls when your taking cover, however obviously you cant shoot them back. This is a glitch that needs addressing in the next volume.
Other than that, if you can get past the rather blocky visuals (PS2 style), you have a very fun shootem up.

I hope at the very least people will either try out the demo, on the Playstation network, which is what made me buy the game. If you can get it for around £15, you cant go wrong.

Enjoy!
