Almost There...

Like many people bombarded by the sheer mass of Kane and Lynch advertisements on not only gaming sites, but within one's actual living environment [billboards, posters, etc.] I assumed Kane and Lynch was going to be something mind blowing. Like the hand full of people that purchased the game for the PS3 system, I was treated to a less then spectacular display. Granted a game isn't it's graphics, but when you shell out a large amount of money you'd think that something pretty would come out of it. For the most part I agree with the wide range of ratings given throughout the net, even more so the rating given by the reviewer on GameSpot with the less then admirable 6. It's a stiff game. There are problems, namely the cover system. Granted, not all games can be Gears of War, where the cover system was smooth and worked well with the game, Kane and Lynch are sloppy and it's a 50/50 whether or not you actually take cover. Overall, they are 60% there when it comes to succeeding. They created a playable buddy cop drama, minus the cops, etc.
