Generic and bad
While Kane & Lynch starts off promising, with an interesting premise and tight corridor third-person action, it quickly devolves into a slog.
Long range engagements in the second half of the game are piss-poor, as the players shoots in vain at vague silhouettes resulting in poor player feedback. Scripted turret-esc sections strip player agency and are boring.
The unique duo of characters and “antagonist of the week” style of story telling is dropped in favor for the most generic “save your daughter” plot line ever. Controls are unresponsive and confusing; instead of a button to use cover you walk into it and it’s very inconsistent. Aiming feels sluggish and the squad mechanics are pointless.
A pretty sluggish game. The characters and narrative had potential but it’s wasted on the most generic third-person shooter ever.
3/10
