Kane & Lynch: Dead Men Description

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.

Features

Tense and unpredictable experience: This is the violent and chaotic journey of two men: a flawed mercenary and a medicated psychopath. Each hates the other but must work together to save themselves and possibly the ones they love. Play Kane in single-player mode and either character in two-player co-op mode.
Violence erupts in meticulously created "safe" worlds: Realistic and responsive environments and crowds react when events get of out control. Crowded nightclubs and calm bank offices become scenes of sudden terror. Manipulate the environments and crowds strategically to complete objectives.
Wide variety of intense 3rd person game play: Rappel from buildings, firing on the run or from moving vehicles, launch surprise attacks, lay down cover fire, and shoot blind from around corners, hurl smoke, tear, and incendiary grenades
Fast and intuitive combat: Lead a crew of criminal mercenaries to increase your chance of surviving and reaching your goals. You can also fight alone as your crew AI will automatically draw fire, throw grenades, lay down cover, and engage in close combat with their own signature moves.
Two-player co-operative game play: Team up and play the full story with a friend as either Kane or Lynch. On the big jobs, split the command of your crew. At any point in the game you can choose to play the next, or previous, levels in co-op.
Innovative multi-player levels: Based on the game's themes for up to 8 players.
