Kane and Lynch? More like Dumb and Dumber ...
Pros:
Intriguing cover art.
Cons:
Third-person shooter.
Lower than expected graphics quality.
Lacks interest.
Not worth the money.
The Bottom Line:
Kane and Lynch failed miserably to succeed in it's attempt at "entertainment".

Author's Review
Kane and Lynch looked to be a wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am, in-your-face shooter game following the likes of two convicts destroying, annihilating, and utterly demolishing everything in their path. Yea ... only not so much. Sadly enough, Eidos failed miserably in their attempt of this game. I call it an attempt because that's really all there is to it.
It is sort of like when you go to an expensive steak restaurant and get a bad steak. Looks can be deceiving, as displayed by this game.
The only wham-bam to speak of in the game was the cover art.
The third-person views are confusing and characters are often shown in obnoxious, hard to see angles.
The graphics were a mere "eh" ... lacking the sheer genius and innovation we have all come to expect in the 21st century (and from former Eidos games).
And, most importantly, after a mere hour of gameplay neither my husband nor I could stomach another moment of "trying to like this game".
The game never really has a "hook". I tried ... no really, I really tried ... to like this game, thinking that somewhere along the lines I would fall madly in love with the game and not be able to pry myself away. Again, no such luck.
While it might be someone's cup of tea, it certainly wasn't ours .... nor did it appear to be anyone else's given the dozens of "pre-played" Kane and Lynch's on the shelf for returns.
The only true satisfaction I got from this game was when I returned it.
