"I can't remember a game causing as much controversy as Kane & Lynch where the issue wasn't the obscene content. At no time was the game going to be banned and it was never cited as a training tool for murderers or anything of that sort, yet the game made headlines for weeks. More important to gamers was the quality of the game, which didn't really live up to expectations.
With Eidos all but confirming a sequel after the publisher announced sales of over one million units, we thought we'd put together VideoGamer.com's Top 10: Things that will make Kane & Lynch 2 great."

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "The video game industry is a pretty cutthroat place. More often than not the cycle of a game’s life is pretty set in stone – a title is announced, hyped ,released and hopefully it’s a hit. However sometimes things don’t go as planned and a game doesn’t hit home with gamers. Not that’s it a bad game per say but due to a myriad of issues or the general mood of the world at the time the game isn’t remembered so fondly as its contemporaries. So for this week’s Top 10 we’re listing off ten titles that you should probably give a second chance to because they really are decent titles and deserve more love than they ever got."
I enjoyed Kane and Lynch. I would love to see a PS All-Stars 2 or a non-Smash take on a PlayStation fighter. Maybe a Marvel v Campcom style but with larger levels.
I’d rather Nintendo give Star Fox Assault a second chance and make another new game in that style. I like that game way better than Star Fox Adventures
I heartily agree.
Maybe even a sequel with that new walker from Star Fox Zero.[yes I know it's originally from Star Fox 2, but most of us know it from Zero because we didn't get to play SF2.]
More people played SF2 than SFZ thanks to SNES Mini, and emulation. Also, Star Fox Adventure > Star Fox Assault.
The Conduit.
Just, give us a reboot of that for Switch and make it bigger and better than the original, which had potential but never got off the ground due to being on the Wii.
Castlevania 64 was an amazing game for its time and I'd LOVE to see it get a proper remake or reboot.
In addition to retaining Hitman, IO kept ownership of Freedom Fighters, a 2003 third-person shooter that appeared on sixth gen consoles and received high praise.
I played Freedom Fighter on PC when I was a kid. Damn, the game was so freaking good.
I can live with this IO. So how about that sequel, so I can forgive you already?
WOW!!!!!! I would be so hyped if Freedom Fighters returned but it's very disappointing that Kane and Lynch is still on ice because the story has so much potential. Both games also features Jesper Kyd's best work.
not make the sequel lol!!
Since when this is a new trend?. Making top 10 lists!.
Agreed with post 1.
The best way to make it great is by not making Kane & Lynch 2.
agreed...if the demo was anything to go by...this game sucked it up big time...
this game is actually good, it never presented itself as the next king of anything, just a visceral shooter with a pretty decent storyline. Anyone that went in expecting some landmark title was only fooling themselves.
