Io Interactive is best known for the Hitman series focusing on stealth, but there is nothing quiet and hidden in its latest version, Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. This time, the developer can put together an action shooter with issues begins with a few simple goals, like robbery and then quickly gets out of control, so without much notice, you are shooting at soldiers in the middle of a foreign revolution. While the journey sounds interesting at first, and has some bright spots, which are weighed down by bad story, a real lack of character development, as well as a number of issues related to the game. The end result is a game that wastes much of its potential and not just bind, and what you should have.The story mode opens with you in the role of Kane, a man was sentenced to death on his way to his execution, apparently doomed to be a very wild crime as part of a known band called Los7. You're on your last trip with a strange guy named Lynch, which tells you to cover your head. After an explosion, the two are broken and the match. This may sound good, but this is a fate worse than death. Surviving the Los7 members have popped out to force him to recover something that I think I stole them. They traitor and kill his family Kane unresponsive. Lynch sent to journey to ensure Kane and report all the rare case that happens. Conditions change over time, and the back half plays like a
revenge story, but it is a revenge story that really does not matter if someone really gets his revenge. Everyone you play as or meeting is reprehensible and completely abrasive; Therefore, it may be difficult for you to find anyone to latch onto and care, even if they normally go for this kind of drama on TV or in movies. You can play through the story alone or with a friend in cooperative mode, but this feature is only available locally and performed in a vertically split screen that makes it difficult to follow the action even on widescreen TV.The core gameplay of Kane & Lynch is the third person shooter with elements of standard cover and a light coat of the regular group. You can shoot from the hip, but a little more expensive than the fire, while the target. Unfortunately, even when you're aiming, hitting their targets are more difficult than it should be, because your automatic fire is widely distributed in it. Kane is supposed to be an arch-criminal rough; You should be able to hit their targets in short, controlled bursts. You are able to get back cover and two blindfire or leaving target shooting, but there is no easy way to cling to the walls. button is pressed, or nothing; Instead kind up against a wall and turn sideways. Then, later moving through checks and forth a little, eventually is to get back cover. It is such a pain rarely want to use, and always seems to be mentioned cover behind something in the most inappropriate times, making the game quite frustrating. There is no health meter, but if you go down, do not die immediately either. Can be revived by one of his teammates with an injection of adrenaline. If you get that shot too often, will overdose and die. If your teammates do not reach him in time, they will die too. Also, if one of the kids on your team goes down, you should make sure that revived. If he dies, the game ends. Between low precision, accuracy acute enemy and your stupid AI team mates, all this adds up to keep your computer in a very short leash.When you have a computer with you, you can order the team members individually or to order the equipment around while telling him rebuild his position, move to a specific point, or attack specific targets. Counting Team members move to positions is the most effective measure, as it can keep them together and revive when cut. Their mission after the objective results on your computer running aimlessly and trying too close to the target. This leads to get them fell in the line of fire, which probably will not be able to save them. So if you shoot himself or hang back and let his men to do the dirty work, the game is a real disappointment, especially when you consider how well this same sort of thing worked in the previous game based squads , freedom fighters developers.There is only a multiplayer in Kane & Lynch, and is a great idea. Unfortunately, the idea does not translate into a large or long-term experience. It called Fragile Alliance and puts up to eight players in a group of criminals. Then the group out to steal money, cocaine and jewelry from different parts seen in the single player mode is loaded. So you can start in front of the bank, rolled, collect a lot of money, and then escape from a truck in the back. The problem is the way the money is split between teammates. If we all work together, the money will be divided equally.
However, at any time, a player can go rogue and gun in one of his teammates. This traitor chains; Therefore, any money they collect and escape with retained. Of course, this also means that the other players are part of the team trying to lose before escaping with their loot stolen hard. So every ride is a test where you are always expecting the worst - you are never sure when someone will eventually lead you. When they die, either the AI or another player you object reappears on the other side of the robbery. Now you need to stop the theft by eliminating other players and earn money by gathering before criminals collected.It is a pity that the multiplayer is folded with a couple of different things. First, they will continue to play Kane & Lynch, so continue to apply all the problems of inaccurate shooting and poor regular coverage of a single player. Another problem is that you can see the names of other players through the head from a distance and through walls, even if the other side. While you can run while crouching so that your name disappears, it is quite weak you can see the names of the police team members, as well as your head way. There is the element of surprise. Also, there are only a handful of different scenarios for this, and develop in the same way every time. Security guards are always at the same positions in the bank and the police are always waiting just outside so rapidly aging.Although it may seem like a basic heist game, Kane & Lynch does a good job of moving the action around and see a variety of different environments and situations, ranging from banks, escapes from prison, in large-scale conflicts the average of the illegal poppy fields. He also has some models handsome player with Kane and Lynch both seeking suitable and over-the-Hill criminals. And although their faces did not encourage much in the game, they still look good. Most of the animation is not so hot, however, to see some ugly textures here and there too. Some of it seems a bit unfinished, like the way you see the kids go through the motion to strike you with a shot of adrenaline, but his hands are really empty.The soundtrack is probably the best part of the whole game, providing some music volume when the game requires. There are many voice acting in the game. The voices are suitable for the characters, but the dialogue is full of hokey and free curse. The good ol 'F word is certainly appropriate given the nature of what these children, but
when three words from the mouth of each character, which appears as a crutch to drag down the rest of the game a bit. Lynch often lies in platoons their orders with just scream "F *** you!" Things like that just make the game feels abrasive effect, and not in a "gritty" or "cold" kind of way.The game is available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, as of this writing, and the differences between the two versions is minimal. Both games have performance problems occasionally box control problems with finding and hitting the target coverage is remarkable both. The only real difference is that the version of the PlayStation 3 does not seem to support voice chat. The clicks that actually just multiplayer mode, where you can discuss things with other players and try to convince them that it will not turn traitor - traitor only to give them and then laugh about it. Without it, the whole experience feels a little dry. The version of the Xbox 360 also has the standard set of 1000 points achievement, some of which rewards you for certain periods of the cooperative, as the player controls Lynch makes a couple of cops from their misery, instead of leaving them to writhe in terrain.
