Depends what you're looking for
Well, Kane & Lynch isn't exactly a game you would call ugly! It does have some flaws but it also has a lot of interesting things to offer!
Let's start with the bad :
The AI in this game is a disaster ! You have a squad or a teammate with you .you can command these guys to either follow you, Position themselves in a certain area or to attack the enemy. Neither of the commands work properly, and when when you command them to attack anyone you can be 90% sure that they will end up either injured or dead because they just rush into a whole lot of enemies!
The game is also quite short. I Installed,played and finished this game in 1 day so if you are not interested in the multiplayer there is really no reason to go out and buy this when you can rent it! It can be easily finished in a weekend.
About the good things in this game:
The Graphics are the first thing that come to my mind. There are certain parts in the game that realy make you just want to stop and enjoy the scenery! The graphics aren't the best however, but they certainly are great.
The story is also quite good. I can't really talk about the story that much but all I can say that it makes you want to play further and see how the game ends. The game also introduces some interesting characters. The gameplay and the gun fights are also nice but they could have been better.
In the end I must say that Kane & Lynch is a great game in my opinion and it certainly does deserve one playthrough just becasue of the story and certain moments in the game, but there really isn't a reason to go out and buy this game when you can finish the game in one weekend unless you are interested in the multiplayer mode which I didn't bother trying.
