Kane and Lynch - PS3
by: kitchenarsonist  03 december 07
rating: rating of 4

Not for the squeamish!
Kane and Lynch is the new release on Xbox 360 and PS3. It is basically a FPS, linked nicely with some stealth elements.
It follows the character of Kane, who through some past misdemeaners, is forced by a shadowy group called The7 to retrieve some money owing to them. Just to make sure he complies, they send a homicidal,psychopath calle Lynch to keep an eye on him.
The graphics are very good, with some nice touches - one level has you shooting oncoming police cars, and depending where you hit them, either causes them to flip, crash or basically explode. Another nice visual piece is set ina nightclub with the floor crowded with dancers who sudenly all panic when shots are fired.
Another nice touch is you can swop weapons and ammo with whoever is in your team at the time.
There is nice variation in the levels, and the playability has a strong, :lets try again' factor.
The only downsides to this is that the difficulty level is set way high - this game is tough!
Also, parents should be advised it has been given an 18 certificate for good reasons - the language and some of the violence i definately not for the squeamish or prudish....
