AS HORRIBLE AS THE FIRST ONE! I can't believe how little it's been improved. The game doesn't look good, the shooting sucks and shot characters fall down in such a weird, unrealistic way. I bet Mafia 2 (which is going to be a sand-box game) will have better shooting mechanics then this crap.

What do you think?

It was difficult to notice the screen tearing. K&L 2 has a weird visual style

Still downloading I did not play anything but the demo for the first and did not care for it, I kinda figure it would be the same story for this.

I definitely agree. This is pretty terrible. The visual style is really bizarre and just annoying to be honest.
Everything about it is so dated.
Which is disappointing. I was quite looking forward to some good co-op play with a friend.

eh, i liked it the grainy filter is weird at first but i adjusted and liked the shooting mechanics, I'm not a fan of the multiplayer though it just feels like it would get old and boring fast. So i'm just going to go through the single player and not touch the online unless they re-haul it

It's better then the first one, at least from what the demo showed. Regardless, it's a rent for me since I saved up for Mafia II. ;)

I think its better than the first but still bad. I thought the camera was the worst of its problems, when you run its difficult to see where you're going. Gunplay is pretty poor too.

I thought it was pretty cool. The visual effects are awesome; especially how heads mosaic out if you get an up close head shot. Also, I had no problems with the camera but you can change it to a more conventional style if you want... Gunplay was nothing exceptional but it was actually functional unlike the first one. However, as I don't really care for the multiplayer I'll only rent it.

I liked it a lot, I thought the gunplay was intense, and I loved the visual effects. I actually think the gunplay is smooth, fun and challenging. I don't really know how it's outdated...

The MP is some of the worst garbage I've played. It took so many damn shots to bring someone down. It reminded me of those laggy sessions of Lost planet.

I just played the demo and I thought it was awesome. Note: When it is buffering, it is made to look like a video is loading. This makes for the grainy effect because this is supposed to look like a VIDEO. The game is presented like somebody is following Kane and Lynch around and video tapping them. Brilliant.

The first game was good. As so is this one. Go back to playing wii. It's a little less challenging.

You could have at least tried it! :P I dont know.. I liked the first one. It started off really rocky, but it just grows on you. I'll probably get to this demo some time this weekend.

I freakin' loved it! :D I was quite impressed with such an original idea and how well it actually functions. I thought the first game was the worst garbage I ever played, but I'm pretty impressed with this. I think I'm gonna have to buy it.

It's not even the gameplay and stuff that I dislike about it so much. It's how gross and disgusting the main characters are...I know it's shallow to judge a book by it's cover and all that, but all the ads and stuff I've seen are so awful I don't even want to play the game and have to look at them the entire time.

This is actually close to one of the reasons I hate Bayonetta too. I worked at GameStop right before it was released and they were showing the commercial for it on the TV in there about every 2 minutes. That STUPID "In For The Kill" song played ALL THE DAMN TIME and now I despise the game purely from the ads. I told the guys I worked with "you know, that could be the best game ever, but I'm never going to play it because of that stupid commercial."

So maybe I'm missing out on good/decent games, but in my opinion they don't deserve my money because their ads were so damn annoying.

Its been improved a lot! The AI is a lot more intelligent (not too intelligent, but it works), aiming is nolonger a matter of luck, and the cover mechanic actually works! It also looks like a game that belongs in this gen, too. :P Its very improved over the original. don't let these guys fool you.

The characters are the main reason I played all through the first game. I really liked their story but a game is mostly about the gameplay. I had hoped that they would have learned a lesson from the failure of the first game but it's still too similar to the first one. It looks like a very good looking ps2 game IMO
