    Jeff Gertsmann
    gears of war has a non existable story stupid characters
    dumb weapons that requires you to push burned wreckage to create light so bats wont kill you instantly if you step into darkness, that taking cover is only a future doesnt mean anything eg you take cover aim for a enemy behind cover and you take hit before the enemy stands up and everyone hits you and only you and if you at small tight areas and you got to zoom with your shotgun to aim,DUH frustrated? also the only reason you dont die while using a turret is because its shielded since this was the only way to survive , because everyone shooting at you! If you die no one heals you! squad commands dont work ally ai is broken!

    Kane and lynch dead men great story normal characters,(or they wouldnt be criminals) realistic guns no puzzles no monsters you can aim without zooming like an idiots nice levels, if you die teammates will heal you squad tactics can help camera is better than gears of war, abd controls? same goes for gears of war pc and this game in x360!

    So gamespot thanks for firing this cretin!

    Departed had a whole lot of F#$K words in that movie. Heck it was said my by the cops than the mafia. In a lot of ways it makes Kane and Lynch a bit more comical than anything else. I found some of their lines being comical. Especially at the bank. Lynch sounded like a crimial version of Sam Fisher. That's what makes him the funniest of them all. I agree with Jeff on gameplay can be frustrating. The cover and over the shoulder aiming is not up to GOW or GRAW standards. The over the shoulder view is just too close and clumbersome. Even with the cross hairs right on target. You will find yourself shooting and something different.

    The PC version is NOT nearly as bad as Jeff's description of the Console ports. Also, I don't need Jeff to be my "moral compass", isn't that the purpose of the ESRB's "M" rating given to this title?

    In my humble opinion the reviewer blows the game's shortcomings out of proportion. I was taken aback when he started the review with "Kane and Lynch is an ugly ugly game!" Perhaps he played the game at a period when he was a bit too jaded, it happens to all of us. It's sad that he hurt the game's sales by describing it in such extremes because I genuinely had fun with it, it really was an entertaining experience even though I'm a jaded player myself. I'm disappointed in this reviewer, especially when knowing that he gave Freedom Fighters (made by the same studio as K&L) a 9.3. , a game that bewilderingly fails the most basic rule of shooters: tangibility. Shooting people in Freedom Fighters felt like shooting some strange breed of potatoes and for those who are wondering, I'm talking about my impressions back when it was released and not unfairly comparing it to today's ragdolls and such. Anyway, my point is, please don't let Mr. Gerstmann's review affect your judgment in buying this game! Watch some videos and decide for yourself; most players are savvy enough to know when a game is for them or not.

    thanks for re uploading the video review!!! I don't know why but I feel better about the whole situation than I did before. I'm not sure about the whole getting fired part but we just got a glimpse of the whole picture and I don't really think we ever will know the full story. I do think the video review was "quality" work and most importantly its the reviewers opinion. If the game is rubbish I want them to tell me that. But I have bought many games where they received horrible reviews and I purchased them anyways, "Vietcong purple haze" "far cry vengeance" and fully enjoyed them as a game rated 9.0. I really want gamespot to change there advertising policy, and I want PR from companies to be honest and not coheres the gaming press, please stand by your work!
