Gaming Kane and Lynch hands-on preview

http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/2007/10/06/kane_and_lynch_hands-on/1

Kane and Lynch: Dead Men, from the developers of Hitman, is a gritty and bleak tale of ransom and kidnap. Whether or not it's any good remains to be seen though, so we go hands-on to find out. Check out our brand new screenshots!

 

I think this game looks pretty cool, i like the style of it and the marketing peeps have certainly done their work, the website looks awesome IMHO and the screenshots look good too. I reckon i'll probably be getting a hold of this come release time as i enjoyed the hitman series too.

the idea of having one of the characters blackout is a nice idea, certainly make the game alot harder if its related to the intensity of fighting when suddenly your comrad is lying on the floorwhen he's ment to be covering the flank or something, guess we'll just have to play it and see what the final verison is like.

Not to be picky, but no where does the preview say what format this is going to be on. Pc/Console all of the above? Nice preview otherthan that

 

My bad! Kane and Lynch will be on PC, 360 and PS3. On PC it will be under the Games For Windows label, but my preview was based on the 360 version.

 

If you decide that Lynch is too much of a liability, can you just leave him dead?

 

Lol, I don't think so. The story is built around the pair of them and if Lynch died then I think the Seven would finish you off. Other gang members can fall by the wayside, but Kane and Lynch themselves are plot-pivotal.

 

If the pc verison has co-op over network I will be very tempted.

 

Looking forward to this one. If it has the same style and attention to detail as the Hitman games have (without just coming across as Hitman without 47 in it), it'll be very good indeed.

 

what?? that was too short!! lol

nice review. i want this game for sure. for me, game = immersion. games like this and/or hitman is closest to reality than orcs or alien monsters....

 

Is there a page missing from the article? The navigation seems to go from a description of the game to the comments section. There does not seem to be much of what you thought of the game Joe?

 

Nope - sorry. I could have extrapolated more but my hands-on was fairly short by my standards and I didn't want to make/repeat baseless thoughts.

I'll try and make my previews more rounded in the future. Theres an assassins creed preview coming up which should be more in-depth.

 

Thanks for the reply Joe.

 

looks cool, any idea of a release date?
