Gameplay wise this game is a buggy mess. Story and esthetic wise, this game is fantastic.
The way Shanghai looks in general is very digusting and delipated, with Kane visiting Lynch in China.
And essentially getting into "1 Final Heist" for the sake of his daughter, and Lynch reaffirming Kane that it'll all work out.
And this is essentially Murphy's Law, "anything that can go wrong will go wrong, and will get even worse"
The game is from the perspective of a Camera Man following Kane & Lynch around with an amazing esthetic and design with the recording camera acting as the ingame camera for cutscenes and gameplay.
It's starts off with Kane and Lynch getting into trouble with a guy who was having relations with a girl and Lynch needing to interrogate the guy except when they finally reach him, Kane and Lynch accidently kill the girl who is actually the daughter of a powerful politician named Shangsi. Throughout the game Kane & Lynch are running from the 14K Triad ran by Hsing, and from the Police and SWAT from orders from Shangsi. They later have to deal with a Australian dude named Glazer who originally was working with Kane & Lynch to make a weapons deal to get Kane his money, however because the 14K Triad and Shangsi are after Kane and Lynch Glazer and his crew turn on Kane & Lynch and try to have them killed only for his entire group to be killed by the duo.
Kane & Lynch are later captured by Shangsi's personal government and are imprisoned in a helicopter, only for them to hijack it and shooting buildings and other helicopters, in order to get to Shangsi's building.
They finally get to his building which the top areas area completely destroyed from the impact of the helicopter, and Kane & Lynch take out Shangsi's remaining guards, only for Kane & Lynch to finally confront Shangsi and Lynch kills him then and there for the murder of his girlfriend Xiu and also for all the things Shangsi put them through.
The final part has Kane & Lynch going to the airport to escape, they try to find Glazer's plane but also find out the deal is still going through, so Kane again is screwed out of Money, but that's the least of the their worries since they're focused on just getting out of China. Kane and Lynch fight their way through the airport killing the final reminents of Shangsi and Glazer's men, and later fighting against the actual government of China's police force attempting to kill Kane & Lynch once and for all. The game ends with both of them hoping on a plane and getting the hell out of China. With the cameraman getting shot and the footage being taken.
The story is simple following Murphy's Law but damn is it good, I especially love the esthetic with the camera censoring certain parts when too graphic for the sake of artistic estethetic. The gameplay is buy no means perfect, there are somethings I question button placement wise, but I have to say, this game is amazing in terms of it's story. I recommend playing on the hardest difficulty as it really does make you feel the urgency of the situation of the game, but also might make you rage, so tread carefully. It's short 2-4 hour experience depending on the difficulty, but I think it's worth it.
I played this on PS3, maybe the PC version is a bit better, though I have seen how Co-op Multiplayer in terms of Story and Multiplayer verses is, and it's hilarious.
Overall while gameplay is a buggy mess, i have to say this game deserves 4 stars. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the story and esthetic is great for a 1-time playthrough.
Thanks for reading.
