Summary
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is the latest title from the developer of the best-selling Hitman series. A dark and gritty tale of two men bound by circumstance, you get shoot your way out of prison, back into another prison, through the streets of LA, Tokyo and Havana, with a spot of jungle warfare tossed in for good measure.
As Kane, an ex-mercenary imprisoned following the slaughter of an entire Venezuelan village and traitor to his cadre, The7, you must do their bidding to save the lives of your family. By his side, and available to play in co-operative mode is Lynch, a psychotic murderer, imprisoned for the slaughter of his wife.
Take cover behind walls, pillars and vehicles, out flank the enemy and surprise them in crossfire or throw smoke grenades to provide impromptu cover.
Using an intuitive command system, you manage a squad as you track down the men that have double crossed you. Take them into battle where they can be instructed to attack, defend or return to your location - all the while they run for cover, attack the enemy and provide covering fire for other team members.
Featuring the inspired "Fragile Alliance" online gaming mode, you take part in a heist with other players sharing the loot. Choose your moment to turncoat and attack other players in order to gain their slice of the pie - but look out, the other players will be gunning for you.
Kane & Lynch's graphic tale of violence is one for adult fans of squad-based games and the Hitman series.
