Kane & Lynch Busting In Your Door One Week Early
Sounds like the game will also have some kind of pre-order bonus that'll get those of you who are already on-board an extra map and a set of masks that can be worn in multiplayer. Considering one of the issues with the first game's multiplayer was a lack of variety, it seems a little weird to hold maps back like that.
Speaking of holding back, there's a K&L2 demo out there, but it's been tightly controlled via text message contests and other, similar giveaways. We've got a copy of it and we'll have some video of it later this week, but considering that the demo is, like, more enjoyable than the entire first game was, you'd think that Square Enix would be trying to get this thing in as many hands as possible.

Kane and Lynch 2's characters are almost impossible to get behind, you just don't like any of them to care about the story, and not even in a anti hero sort of way.

said:I always thought Kane and Lynch were the most original, real protagonists this generation (spot-on voice over too). Trying something different, especially for the adult crowd who facepalms at 80% of the videogame plot out there, but of course I didn't play the first since the demo for the first was absolute shit while the demo for the second fixed my gameplay and graphical complaints."

" @Claude said:Are you kidding? Think low budget, I'm doing Jamie Foxx's voice while playing me." @Abyssfull: It's more of a reimagining of the first game. No Spoilers here. "Ohh roight. Would you voice yourself in this reimagining? Or get Jamie Foxx to do it? "
I knew this sounded familiar..." @DriveupLife said:
People say the same about Kratos, and a shit ton of people bought GOW III. "" Kane and Lynch 2's characters are almost impossible to get behind, you just don't like any of them to care about the story, and not even in a anti hero sort of way. "
Jeff Gerstmann: "Characters that are almost impossible to like. But it's impossible to care about anything going on in the story because every single character is almost completely unlikeable. There's no one here to root for, not even in a cool anti-hero sort of way." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FuJ81sDR2o
