Despite my complaints, the general engine isn’t all bad, with some satisfying action that is often well gratified by effective hit markers. Move over sniper rifle, this shotty has some ridiculous range. While we’re on the topic of ranges, there a variety of balancing issues within the limited arsenal of weaponry that make the shotgun the only weapon you ever need. This isn’t a bad thing in itself, but it can become troublesome fighting enemies at any range other than point blank. It’s not the worst I’ve ever witnessed, but the general shooting mechanics feel loose and imprecise and it certainly doesn’t help that a large majority of the weapons are quite inaccurate. I can’t began to imagine how bad the gunplay was in the original for KaL2 to be considered an improvement. Let’s start with the building blocks of any third person shooter The shooting mechanics and cover system. Kane and Lynch isn’t a bad game, but it is a case of some nice ideas with a rather flawed execution. It is thus that Kane and Lynch 2 has received high regard from many of my colleagues and contemporaries for being an improvement over the original, but having never experienced the first Kane and Lynch I’m forced to compare KaL2 to other shooters from my past that it can’t quite compete with. I think the same can be applied to games, as you will continuously compare the titles you play to ones you have experienced previously. Elliot, Poet and critic extraordinaire, once said that art does not exist in a vacuum and can only be a viewed in relation to a personal history. The Bad: Loose gunplay, frustrating cover system, Poor pacing in single-player, Repetitive multiplayer, Lack of maps and modes, No grenades The Good: Solid plot, Interesting multiplayer modes, Horde-style arcade mode, Interesting camera effects, It’s better than the original Intriguing multiplayer modes and a tense story are not enough to combat the games loose shooting mechanics, sloppy cover system and clichéd script.
While $60 may be a little steep, I am content with where IO is going with this franchise.Kane and Lynch return, once again defining mediocrity in all its forms. Despite these problems, the story is definitely worth playing through. There is a strange problem in late-game that can possibly pause the screen for up to around fifteen seconds whenever a headshot is landed. The story is quite short (it took me 3 1/2 hours medium difficulty on split screen). It is addicting, even if the lackluster A.I. I don't play on Xbox Live, but arcade mode is very cinematic and offers a ranking system similar to online games. In addition to the story mode, an "arcade mode" allows one player to play up to ten rounds as members of a heist in different locales. The game is difficult but feels rewarding. The shooting is solid, a major improvement over the previous game. A shake-cam (which can be disabled) really improves the tension of the action. The graphics are not top-tier, but the weird pastel look of the last game is done away with through a clever film effect.
