Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (PS3)

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (PS3)
With the Hitman series already well established, Danish developer Io Interactive are not exactly masters of the family friendly game. This latest effort is their most violent and shocking yet, as you take control of reluctant mercenary Kane and his schizophrenic partner Lynch. Neither character likes the other but for the purposes of the story they have to work together in a series of violent third person shoot outs. By default you control Kane, with the computer or another player taking on the role of Lynch. As the game progress you will also be able to recruit a team of up to eight mercenaries, with your reputation determining the quality of the personnel applying for the job. Ordering your squad around is easy enough but since any of them, particularly Lynch, can have completely different objectives to you, they won’t always take orders - particularly if they’ve taken a dislike to you already - which is a real problem when you want them to administer some first aid.

Although it is much more action packed than the Hitman games, there are obviously similarities between the two games, with highly interactive environments and multiple ways to approach any problem. One particular highlight already demonstrated involves a kidnapping at a rave with Kane & Lynch firing into the air to disperse a large crowd of dancers before engaging in a brutal gun battle with security guards, as the sound and music system continues to flash and blare. If the rest of the game is just as inventive with its scenarios then Io may well keep Kane and Lynch alive for a little longer.

Customer Review: Don’t believe the hype !
Couldn’t wait to buy this game having seen the trailers however it did not live up to the hype at all.The graphics are not much better than PS2 standard and after playing Call of Duty 4 they really do look second rate. Controls are also poor. Don’t waste your money !

Customer Review: BEST RACING GAME EVER
Ridge Racer 2 is a great racing game, from power sliding round corners to going at 500 kmh! It has loads of different cars, some special cars too which look pretty snazy! The music is fab. I know the songs almost off by heart after only a month! The graphics look real life, and look amazing in the night scenes. It is not too hard or easy either, though it gets a lot harder through the levels. My friends find this game wicked aswell, and they usually find these sort of games a bore. Anyone who is looking for a fun, thrilling racing game, here it is. I can only give praise for this game as it is so great!
Customer Review: Rail Racer not Ridge Racer
well first off the graphics are good. Only problem i’ve seen is the dark levels. the psp screens not very good at representing black scenes as theres too much artifacts(trail of black after object is passed). the music really stinks i know halo and zelda won awards for music and that there the best. but the music in this sounds like a high voltage wires been jammed in a systhesiser and the speratic noises that come out have been recored. Come on people cant we follow in the footsteps of EA and get real music instead of the horrid nes music? So theres a tonne of cars. they all handle the same and you wont notice that there different. tracks are fun. Now handling. sorry to say it but this is rail racer. the aim of the game is to get a power slide going to get round corners. nice idea but when you do that the game helps out way too much. its like you’ve been fasted to rails when this happens. so no spinning out or sliding into the wall. in fact you cant get a power slide with the car facing left to go round a right handed corner. this seams to get worse as the courses get more tighter and the cars more faster and prone to skid. also you can get the car going faster sideways on a straight than the computer can go facing forward?!?!? this is the first driving game ive had on the psp and control wise im a bit disappointed. but this game is fun for a quick blast and worth a play even after all them faults probably not worth top buck thought. find it in the bargain bin.

Customer Review: Not SO cheap afterall…
Not so sure what the rating of this software should be but the price is way too high. After registering my new PSP Lite I quickly discovered one needs a so-called “promotional code” for a free copy of Media Manager… On sonycreativesoftware you can find this for half price and if you do a proper search on an American website, it’s free and only takes up 27MB of space. There you go! We are once again being screwed when our American brothers get this free.. Just like Itunes.. So much for “brotherly love”…
Customer Review: Not worth the money
Program, although good, has to many serious flaws 1. There are better programs available for free that cater better to a PSP users needs 2. The video converter is slow, buggy, outdated, and has bad compression. There are many free video convertors designed specifically for the PSP that do an excellent job 3. It makes things to easy. How hard is it to find a song, and drag it into the music folder. Seriously?? Good piece of kit, one of the better paid AIO, but not honestly worth ther money
