Xbox 360 - Kane & Lynch

...

missions the story and scenarios just got...well..way off track. I mean seriously...you end up in a jungle for pete's sake.

Let me tell ya some goods and bad that I thought of this game.

Good:

1. The beginning missions. Lots of fun and made you feel like a bad guy. A transport escape, bank heist, running down some main streets shooting and trying to run from cops, a car chase scenario, and a few more.

2. The talking. Kane is a little more level headed, while Lynch is a little nutso. It was funny listening to Kane scream "WHAT THE (enter a bad word here) WERE YOU THINKING...YOU CANT JUST KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE LIKE THAT!!!" and then have Lynch respond pretty calmly with "Oh relax...we got out of there didnt we?", well...it fit just right for these two guys. Even though there was a lot of cursing (and I mean a LOT), it went well with supposedly two very bad men. Sometimes a little to much...even for a person with a sailors mouth.

3. The graphics werent extremely bad. Sometimes it felt like PS2 graphics..then sometimes it looked much better. It never really did bother me.

Now for the bad:

1. The story. Wasnt hard to understand, but it just felt...really bland. It's like they wanted to do more with it than what they did. Felt really rushed.

2. The later missions. Even though they weren't...bad...they just felt incredibly out of place. I mean, come on...a jungle? And one time I even felt like I was in Iraq or something. Just wierd.

3. No sneaky sneaky. For instance, one time in the jungle I had to sneak up on a guy and tackle/kill him instead of shoot him. Well the guy would walk right up on me and not notice me. Or I could be in the same spot doing the exact same thing...and then he WOULD notice me. Also why in the heck would you give me a pistol with a silencer on it, but not make it where no one would hear it. I would silently shoot the guy and an army of men some 100 yards away would start blazing me down with fire. It made no sense.

4. The game is extremely to short and easy. I beat the game in 6 hours. SERIOUSLY. 6 hours. And I was playing on the second hardest difficulty. Sure I could try it on the hardest now, but I just dont want to.

5. Replay value. Maybe the first couple of levels are replay worthy, but after that...yeah...not really. Maybe if they had an option to play Lynch the second time through, I could see that being a huge boost for it...but sadly..there isnt that option.

6. The two endings. Hahahahaha. What a joke. At least I'll give them this. If you decide to take the ending where you can save some of your guys, you get to play another level.

And then the SO/SO:

1. The AI. Sometimes it was pretty good. You would have 20 cops just destroying everything around you trying to kill you. A haze of bullets everywhere. That was nice. But then, I could be running somewhere and out of nowhere I'd turn a corner and two cops would be standing there and never look at me. Just shooting at my buddies. That would make me roll my eyes.

2. Sorry...I had one more thing, and just cant think of it right now. Maybe I'll remember and edit this.


Also one last thing. I havent played online (my router is jacked right now) and I havent played Co-Op. So I'm not reviewing this portion.

So in the end, I would definitely recommend renting the game for a few bucks. It is not NEARLY as bad as some people are saying. When this came out, Assassins Creed and COD4 just came out a fews before it. Plus Bioshock was still a hot item. Buying is a no no though. Way to short and just so many better games out there to spend 50 dollars on. Sadly I bought it when it came out. Here's hoping Army of Two rocks way more than this one.
