Product Description
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is a violent and chaotic journey of two supposedly dead men - a flawed mercenary and a medicated psychopath ? and their brutal attitude towards right and wrong. Kane and Lynch's volatile partnership combined with innovative technologies allows Kane & Lynch: Dead Man to be an unparalleled gaming experience.
Amazon.co.uk Preview
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.

 kane and lynch! December 5, 2008
Kane & Lynch is quite possibly one of the greatest Xbox 360 game I have played in my life! if not the best game ever
the game begins as the notorius gang called the 7 bust you out from prison, whilst escaping from police officers and S.W.A.T officers you will make many allies including a crazy lynch (you play as kane) who you are instructed to protect.
when you break out of jail you also find out that the 7 want you to get some type of breifcase back which you stole, they send lynch to help you.
___________
Teammates
you can contoll lynch and sevral other allies (and at one point about 25 people to controll!) to move. attack ect. this is easy to do and fun
________
Possible SPOILERS
You Also Rob A bank and let about 250 prisoners roam free in some levels, its amazing. You also have to save kane's daughter's life.
________
Online Play
The online play is called the fragille alliance, with for diffrent maps, this is not your ordinary team deathmatch, this is a completley new, daring, idea of online gameplay which suceeds.
you have to rob a bank, steal from the yakuza and kill important people ect, you start of in a team of up to 6 players and you have to get money by the the objective, however if you or one of your freinds die they will go on to the opposing team and have to stop the money making.
above all of this there are 4 FREE DOWNLOADBLE EXTRA MAPS/LEVELS FROM XBOX LIVE!!! which offer an extra 200 ACHIVEMENT POINTS!
___________

Graphics = 9/10
varitey = 10/10
online play = 8.5/10
Storyline = 10/10
EDIT:
According to wikpedia there will be a kane and lynch film starring bruce wills!
 Kane And Lynch all anti-hype people!!! July 9, 2008
K&L is a pretty good game, it starts with you escaping from a prison van in a pretty good tutorial type level. Many people seemed to put this down to be another gta spin off when it was being produced, but is atually an arcadey linear 3rd person action game. Even so, its pretty gd, the storyline is pretty good, and my only issue is where you suddenly go from the streets of japan, to a civil war in cuba, which takes up the last two or three levels. its not amazing, but its a good timewaster, and you will get hooked on some levels and want to play them over and over again, for example the level where you bust everyone outta prison!! the grahics arent awesome, but the way that if you shoot someone, they wont necessarily die staright awy, but will lie wounded on the floor, until you put a handy bullet in their head. :D
if your not sure, i dont reccomend the demo..its rubbish! :D
Brilliant! Buy Buy Buy! July 8, 2008
You want a TRUE opinion on this game? well here it is!
I had a lot of doubt about kane and lynch when i heard that it was created by the same people as hitman because lets face it, blood money sucked!this game has a great storyline to it and its just great thats pretty much all i can say well anyway just buy! buy! buy! great:D
Not for the casual gamer June 26, 2008
Since i first heard about it Kane and Lynch Dead Men had me in a 'buy now!' hold, and after reading some reviews, i wished it didn't.
But then, my commen sense caved in on me and i ordered it, and it is, quite simply, brilliant.
It vastly lacks novice status and is basicly a gift from IO to all hardcore gamers an shooter nuts, and alongside that a casual gamer SHOULD NOT pick this up, it needs brains, ou need to be able to delve deeper into the game than its skin, and you need to know how the hell to keep a an assult rifle steady when blind firing!
But of course, being a game from IO, it has it flaws, the cover system feels unfinished and in a big ruck weapons feel stupidly inaccurate, but the flaws are far far outweighted by its perfect story line, slick (dirty) diolouge, solid shooting and brilliant multiuplayer.
Its as close to perfect as a shooter can get.
good but hard June 15, 2008
this game is very good but vey hard like on one mission 4 people had to take on wa whole army and i am stuck on one part wen i have to hunt theese to brothers down because they got my daughter but every time i move i get shot
