I am honestly shocked at how I wasn't bothered with all of the obvious inadequacies from the first game. From seeing the first look and yet to play the demo, I wonder how it handles, because Dead Men was like driving a brick with no wheels. The swearing really bothered me though, going on the vid - that the swearing was taken out of the dialogue but that the voice actors couldn't help themselves, it better not be excessive. I'm no prude but more swearing does NOT equal better reviews.

I think the first Kane & Lynch was shit on unfairly - I enjoyed it, and the demo of K&L 2 was enjoyable.  However, I'd prefer IO make another Freedom Fighters game.

Everything I've seen from this game looks distinctly below average. I love my third person shooters but every video I've seen of this, from trailers to quicklooks to interviews, it all looks ugly and poorly made. It also doean't help that the characters and plot hold no appeal what so ever. I can look beyond bad presentation if the rest of the production holds up but there isn't anything there to hold my interest.

Hey IO, how about you forget K&L2 and start talking more about a new Hitman, I'm getting impatient over here.

The camera stuff is a cool idea, but does anyone actually care about this game after playing the first one?  I liked Army of Two better, and that's saying something.

Out of all the videos, my favorite is still the one of Lynch giving a helicopter the finger and then throwing a chair at it.

I'm amazed they actually managed to talk their publishers into making a sequel. The first one was rank. 
I just wish they'd get on with the new Hitman game, Blood Money was awesome!

The demo was just about the worst thing I've played this year.  Terrible aiming, clumsy cover and your health drained like crazy.  I wasn't impressed.  And the graphical style is being way over-hyped.

agreed, it looks awesome in the trailers but when I saw the quick look it seemed like it would get annoying very quickly, maybe they should tone it down when your running or something......who knows =/ "
You can turn shaky camera of in the options and the effect feels worse when you watch somebody else play.

Shaky cam is becoming a cliché, but this game definitely suits it.

At least I hope they improved the writing from the last game as you never really grew to even like any of guys you played as.

A lot of people say they didn't like the demo. I thought it was totally ok! Will be nice to see how the game turns out!
