If the thought ever crosses your mind that a game might not be that great now but it could get better as it goes along, feel free to punch yourself and any loved ones that agree squarely in the face.

Kane and Lynch is a third-person action game based around the simple concept that making a good game is probably too much work. I didn’t read that on the box or see it in a commercial, but it’s pretty easy to figure that out from playing the game. Don’t take this as an indication that you shouldn’t buy Kane and Lynch. By all means, buy a copy. If you enjoy games that are not that good this is probably a great purchase.
