So I wasn't expecting much out of this game at all, I didn't like the demo and the only reason I'm playing it is that I had an open slot on GF.  But I have to admit, I'm kinda digging the full game.  The presentation and opening scene really grabbed me, I wasn't expecting that, and the gameplay feels much better to me than the demo.  If you like gritty games, definitely give it a shot.

I am also enjoying Kane and Lynch 2. I went into it thinking I would like but man it is really fun. I am playing through it on hard and after I might play through it on extreme.

I know I'm going to love it. So much so that its middling amount of content will stand out all the more.

 Despite the mediocre reviews (and the fact that the campaign is 3 hours 45 minutes long), I actually am glad I played it.

It looks incredible - technically it isn't pushing much and is actually pretty poor by today's standards but the filters and effects they have going on are insane. The look is unique and creative and really helped add a lot to the game.

It kept me playing despite the sparsity of what amounted to a story due to sheer in your face intensity. The gameplay was becoming repetitive, even with the short run time and the gunplay was rather weak with guns that were too inaccurate and didn't do enough damage (although much better than the first game) but despite all this, I kind of enjoyed it. A weird 6/10 for me.    

I agree that the way they presented the game is pretty amazing. I have not beat it yet, but i am close. So far i give it a 7/10. I am really liking it. Oh and by the way, i also got it from GF. I am kind of glad I did because even though I am enjoying it, i don't think it is a 60 dollar purchase. Maybe 40.

The game is just so gnarly and gritty... it's different. And the presentation alone is worth experiencing the game.

I agree buzz. It is really dark and gritty and i love it. Like i said, after i beat it on hard, i am going to play through on extreme. Looking forward to it.

and i thought the game was totally shitty ! 
 
should i try it out? o_O  twitchy cameras dont affect me or anything

I enjoyed it quite a bit. The campaign was super short, so I'll just play it again.

Anyone else having some fun playing arcade mode? Since i have been enjoying it so much I should totally try out the multiplayer tonight. Cops and robbers sounds like a fun mode. Not sure about fragile alliance since i have heard people are annoying and just immediately go traitor. Are you guys enjoying the multiplayer?

you guys playing this as a rental or actual purchase?

Yea I really liked it as well. When you first start off with crappy guns the gunplay kind of sucks but once you get a bit further it actually feels pretty good. I haven't played the MP yet but I enjoyed the arcade mode and am expecting to enjoy the MP more. In response to Evilmetal, I have a rental. I'm considering buying it when I get my next paycheck. I'll play out the rental and see if I'm bored of the MP yet or not.

The game is definitely a one trick pony. It's essentially you running down a hallway shooting stuff. Rinse and repeat for four hours. The presentation - though frequently looking very last-gen where things like faces and animations are concerned - is often times quite impressive. The story is about as flat and uninspired as possible, but you definitely get a taste of that "one long tracking shot in a movie" experience (though broken up with loading screens . . . meh).
 
A four hour game is hardly worth full price, but I wouldn't want another two hours of the same game, either (so perhaps it should simply have had a cheaper price point). It definitely gives you a good glimpse of how the "reality TV engine" thing they were using could potentially be used in another game with a better story and more varied gameplay. It feels like a really long demo of "not quite complete, but you get the idea".
