(sorry for spelling / puncasoin mistakes im dislexic so i can't realy help it )

Gameplay blows

I dunno since I haven't played it before but from reading about it, it wasn't a bad game. It just wasn't great either.

I haven't played either of them, but all I seem to hear is bad things. I'd like to have a look and make my own mind up, but I have too many games that I already don't play. 

It's been a long time since I played it, but I do remember losing interest a few hours in. Never completed it. It just wasn't that fun.

Dunno but the new one looks awesome

There's just nothing good about it, it's a mediocre game at best.

Its basically stupid fan loyalty. As if hating this game makes you closer to Jeff. Grow up guys.

Lets see...
The characters are unlikeable
It has bad A.I.
Weapons lack power
The cover system doesn't work

It got Jeff fired making it both the worst and best game ever.
Because if not for that game, Giant Bomb may not ever have existed.
 
And for that I am grateful.

"this game is just ugly"

if it's anything like Kane and Lynch 2, it's just not fun at all to play.

The first one's graphics and animations were dated, no sticky cover button, awkward gun feedback, and no online co-op (can't remember how AI behaved). Good thing the sequel fixes every single complaint I listed so I can appreciate the originality the team crafted into Kane and Lynch's personality. Some may find the combat generic, but by no means can anyone objectively say it's bad anymore unless shooters were never their thing.

I just bought the first one for £3 preowned so I hope to find out what's so bad about it tomorrow.

Kane & Lynch basicly was the catalyst for the founding of Giant Bomb.  Also, it is a middling game. 'Fair' one might say.

I personally loved the game. My friend and I played through it in a night sitting and loved it. The story felt over the top but in a good fun way. The gameplay was pretty good imo but i doesn't compare to the games of today. I loved the characters and the way their backgrounds unravel throughout the game. Co-op is the way to go with this game.
