This is one of my favorite under rated games. It's cemented itself in history as another cult classic.

I remember renting this in my early 20's and being blown away by how raw and savage it was. I mean, this was before mainstream GTA V's, Trevor. At the time, I had not heard of the first one. So the characters of Kane and Lynch were new to me and I thought both were fascinating characters.

The aesthetic of this game is absolutely perfect. Everything you see is done on purpose and being done the way it was design to do. This is where the game truly stands out. There is not a single game out there then, or today that has matched what this game has matched, aesthetically. This game has gotten alot of flack about the camera bobbing, shaking and how it feels like a low budget documentary at times. That is exactly what they wanted and I guess I'm one of the few who enjoyed it.

This game is hard af however. Controls are clunky, Shooting is absolutely wild, AI is unforgiving. There is a massive learning curve to this game, especially today in a sea of regurgitated, rinse and repeat games.

The game does have flaws. Story is wild and all over the place, lack of gun variety, enemies, single player content. Buuuuuuuuuuuut, the multiplayer is still a thing and lets not forget co-op and SPLIT SCREEN CO-OP.

9/10
