"I was aiming for her legs"
The Odd Couple: The story goes, at least as far as the first mission - Kane, a convicted convict about to be sentenced to death with a misty past is being taken in an armored carrier to his fate. Unbeknownst to him, Lynch, a mysterious convict essentially stops the carrier with terrorists by his side to free a large amount of prisoners. However, it gets more complicated than that, as you will see through the missions.
Unfortunately for some, this game is not going to end on a happy note(also not a spoiler, even Max Payne wasn't going to end with Rainbows and lollipops), which leaves a strange aftertaste from playing, whichever route you decide to take. Nonetheless, the story is embedded right into the campaigns, which seem to feel like every tarantino movie made combined together.
The look of the K&L World: The cities and environments are pretty well made, the graphics engine and frame rate combined remind me of the 360 version of Splinter Cell: Double Agent. It's quite good, but it's no Mass effect either.
The sound of Brutality: The action sounds, voice acting, and soundtrack al fit pretty well in the game, surprisingly good at capturing the personality of the 2 jailbirds, especially kane as the missions go on.
The Bottom Line: Kane & Lynch is a solid game, but obviously isn't for everyone - If you enjoy the down and dirty TPS style of the Max Payne games and always wanted something like that, it might be up your alley. However you'll likely be able to find something a little more worth buying. Some good examples can be seen on my other reviewed games.
Final Tidbits:
The Good
-Memorable scenes in the campaign
-Many of the missions will really keep you on your toes, the bank one
is a great example
The Bad
-The ending, in either direction, is a big downer.
-Sometimes the gun action can get a little old.
