Kane and Lynch is such a weird game, It's not fun, but it's so interesting that I had to finish it.
Gameplay wise it is a sequel to freedom fighter. The squad mechanics are there but it legs dept. The guns sound powerful and they hurts powerful but the animation when you hit the enemy feels weak. The game does have very nice destruction mechanics so it feels satisfying when you leave a combat area.
The game sound good. It has powerful effects that makes it so I don't want to listen to anything in the background and the constant dialogue, keeps thing interesting and the music is good.
The UI is so clean, it doesn't want to obscure the image, so much of the game the only UI, is a single dot on the screen.
The characters and story is so weird to me. It feels like a really unlikable crime movie,which I can get behind. It's remind me of the Danish gangster film Pusher, where the main character is just desperately clinging for straws to keep him above water and he has to betray every person, and all the trust he has built.
The voice acting is so good it really hits that crime film vibe. Especially kane's voice actor, I love him and I l his also performances as BJ blazkowicz.
I did find the game entertaining but there is a drastic drop, when you stop being in cities and begin being in South America. It is insane how tedias and bad it becomes
kane and lynch is so ambitious, but it feels like there has been much cut off it. It's just not fun to play The Story is interesting but it also dies half way through and becomes horrible and the ending is complete garbage.
But it is an interesting little title and would absolutely recommend if you are into interesting bad game.
