its crap

is good

This game was awful on the Xbox 360 and its still awful today.

The first game was a very rough around the edges experience, yet despite its shortcomings I did manage to enjoy it a lot - especially in co-op. So when Kane & Lynch 2 dropped in 2010 I was looking forward to playing it. Then I played it, and was thoroughly disappointed.

The game is just ugly to look at - whomever decided the 2009/2010 era YouTube aesthetic with over-exposed, washed out visuals needs their head examined. Even worse is the incessant, nausea-inducing shaky cam which can't be turned off. The characters have somehow become even more irredeemable and unlikable than the first game, the story is dull and the weapon sounds are just bland.

Gameplay-wise, they took the first game's famously inaccurate weapons and amped it up to 11. All weapons feel under-powered, laughably inaccurate and unpleasant to use. Enemies can miraculously hit you whilst you are fully behind cover and the aforementioned visuals and awful shaky cam just make this game a thoroughly unenjoyable experience to play.

I was hoping the PC version with unlocked frame rate and better resolution would have made the player experience better over the Xbox 360 version, but it doesn't. Avoid like the plague.

Ran through it twice in one day, once on coop medium, the other on SP extreme. Fantastic game.
