IGN writes:
"At the end of the day, Kane & Lynch succeeds in several areas. The story is well delivered – a mixture of cutscenes and dialogue during play, and is as unrelentingly vicious as its action and its twin protagonists; surely the most unlikeable leads seen in a game in recent memory. The world is well-realised too, suitably gritty in tone, with nicely detailed lead character models. Sadly, the positives don't outweigh the negatives, with the clunky gameplay, poorly structured missions and woeful AI making this game more of a chore to play than a joy."
Score: 6.5
