IGN Reviews Kane and Lynch 7.0

IGN writes: "Kane & Lynch is a game that many people will play through and enjoy simply because of the forceful story and characters. Others will find the gameplay isn't up to speed with the rest of the gaming world and wonder why anyone would bother. Frustration should never enter into a game because of the mechanics, but with Kane & Lynch it does. Loose gameplay, a brief campaign, and a single (albeit good) online mode with four maps hurt this title that could have been so much more."

Wow! What's happening? All these new titles with incredibly low scores.

TheHater6031d ago

It seem that people want to play old sequels over and over. I for one have more New IP's on my must buy list than sequel to games I play before.

socomnick6031d ago

maybe its what the game deserves :/
I for one dont think ratchet deserved a 10.
Im glad Assasins Creed did not get 10s because its getting out of hand it seems like every game is getting underserved 10's.

DrPirate6031d ago

Socomnick, I dont recall Ratchet getting 10's, but I agree, too many games getting 10.

This game had potential, from what my inside sources who played the game told me, the story is really half-assed and the shooting segements are fun, but ultimately very generic. 7 is an average score so it's very fitting.

Whoooop6031d ago (Edited 6031d ago )

The only way your comment can be valid (not fanboy oriented) is if you agree that HALO 3 is another game with undeserved 10's...

if not?? then fanboy awaaayyyyy..

ruibing6031d ago

@socomnick
Strange, I don't get why AC and especially R&C suddenly got popped up.

Well this game does seem interesting but it probably doesn't deserve more than 8.0. These days it is just hard to want to play FPS games as I've been spending my free time on GH and, hopefully soon, Rock Band. I think this was a pretty fair review and I hope some review site post a video review up soon so I can get a better look into the game.

socomnick6031d ago

Yea halo 3 shouldn't of gotten all those 10 a just score for halo 3 would be 9.6. A major disappointment in halo 3 was no custom game browser but Im not so annoyed by it anymore.

Uncharted is the only game getting a great score from them (9.1)

Blacksite, assassin's creed, need for speed prostreet, and now kane and lynch are all getting mediocre scores.

What happened at the IGN offices? Someone got a pay cut or something? lol

ruibing6031d ago

I don't think IGN reviews all their games right before they release the review. I believe they do it ahead of time and simply wait until the publishers gives them the go-ahead to release their reviews publicly.

Assassin's Creed was lower than I suspected and weird given that they felt the PS3 graphics wasn't on par with the 360, while Gamespot felt it was the opposite. But as for the rest of the game reviews that came out today, I don't think anyone to really expect that much out of Blacksite and NFS Prostreet (they took out some of the best things about Carbon and Most Wanted, and it looks worse than GT 5, Forza 2, and PRG4).

Apocwhen6031d ago

"Blacksite, assassin's creed, need for speed prostreet, and now kane and lynch are all getting mediocre scores."

Maybe all these games are mediocre. All games can't be great. Personally for me, if a game gets above 7 it's worth playing.

BLACKJACK VII6031d ago

Not surprized. The gameplay trailers look awful.

Hydrollex6031d ago

The Devs promised to bring a good game but BIG FLOP like Lair

the worst6031d ago (Edited 6031d ago )

BIG FLOP
like two worlds

socomnick6031d ago

the worst I own two worlds and man Im embarrassed I even bought it. Trading it in is gonna be embarrassing.

Premonition6031d ago

IGN has been smoking this week, we shall see what uncharted gets next week, if they give it a 7.0-7.8 someones gonna get slapped up side their cyber head.

Classic Mobile Game Spotlight - Kane and Lynch: Dead Men

Zach writes: 'IO Interactive have developed a number of highly regarded titles during their two-decade long run. The Hitman games have always been huge commercial and critical successes, and even lesser-known titles like Freedom Fighters ended up as a cult classic.'.

Top 10 Games that Deserve a Second Chance

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.

PhoenixUp2189d ago

Can Tekken X Street Fighter even get a first chance

FallenAngel19842189d ago

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

wonderfulmonkeyman2189d ago

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.]

SSj4Yagami2188d ago

More people played SF2 than SFZ thanks to SNES Mini, and emulation. Also, Star Fox Adventure > Star Fox Assault.

wonderfulmonkeyman2189d ago

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.

lptmg2189d ago

Unpopular af opinion: give Castlevania 64 and Deadpool a second chance

wonderfulmonkeyman2188d ago

Castlevania 64 was an amazing game for its time and I'd LOVE to see it get a proper remake or reboot.

Freedom Fighters was one of my favorite OG Xbox game

UCForce2378d ago

I played Freedom Fighter on PC when I was a kid. Damn, the game was so freaking good.

strayanalog2378d ago

I can live with this IO. So how about that sequel, so I can forgive you already?

Kyosuke_Sanada2377d ago

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.
