After the whole Gertsmann-Gate thing with GameSpot (see my blog post if you aren’t familiar) and the ensuing drama over Kane & Lynch and game advertising everywhere, I had to check the game out to see what I thought of it and then assess aforementioned drama. And wow, Gertsmann was right. What a bad game. The concept for the game works in theory. It has great plot potential and an interesting squad-based combat system. The multiplayer could theoretically be a blast. But a lot of things work . . . in theory. Unfortunately, theory doesn’t drive good gameplay.
To sum up an already weak plotline, you (Kane) are broken out of prison by a group of very bad men you used to team up with to do very bad things. These very bad men want their money back, money you apparently stole. They’ve assigned Lynch, a psychopath who keeps going off his meds, to watch over you. You have three weeks to get the money. Violence ensues. The story could be good if they stuck with one storyline and focused a bit more on protagonist character development. Unfortunately, you’ll find that you don’t really give a crap. Kane is fairly void of personality, and Lynch is just disturbingly violent in his rampant and random killing sprees. There’s no appropriate comic relief or dramatic affect to spare the player. The plot line is laced with drug references, whether the drugs Lynch needs to take to stop his killing cravings, the adrenaline shots you need to be revived or the “codeine and morphine” difficulty levels. The game tries so hard to be badass, but falls squarely on its face.
The game mechanics are poor at best. The weapon control is weak and aiming and shooting is much more difficult than it should be. The game tries to use a cover-based combat system, but getting behind cover proves to be a difficult task unto itself. It’s difficult to tell what your damage meter is at and suddenly you will collapse or die and your squad will be nowhere near to save you because they, too, are difficult to control. AI for both allies and enemies is ridiculous no one reacts the way you would expect them to, if they react at all.
What could have potentially saved the game, if gameplay wasn’t so weak, are the co-op and multiplayer modes. In co-op, one of you plays as Lynch and during certain missions you are assigned different tasks. Unfortunately, the gameplay problems remain and you can’t play online co-op anyway. Mutiplayer also had potential. A team of up to 8 is assigned to raid a bank and if successful split the profit. You have the opportunity to backstab your teammate allowing for strategic gameplay to make more money and be the ultimate bad guy’s bad guy. Again, the gameplay is still dull, so it won’t be as fun as it could have been.
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men was all hype and little payoff. In the end it looks like a powerful Xbox game with poor gameplay and empty plotline. It’s a game filled with violence for violence sake and offers little to no reason to take the time to grasp the unmanageable game controls. It’s just not worth it.
