No To Kane And Lynch!!

I think the title speaks for itself. Let me explain.
This Game Sucks!
Me and lil puck duck both bought this game last week. We went halfs in the 2 for £40 at Gamestation. Its been until today until I played this game, but lil puck duck played it the day we bought it.. and exchanged it the next day.
This game is terrible in almost every way I can think of. First off, the camera angles. I think this is the worst thing I've come across. Its over the shoulder, fair enough. But the camera doesn't seem to move at all. It seems to stay in the one place all the time, making it really hard to see anything at all. And when you go into 'precision aim' you cant see a thing from the big head in the cornor of your screen.
Second of all, it's a supposed to be a shooter. This means your supposed to be able to shoot people. But you can't. Your crosshair is a tiny white dot that cant be seen at the best of times, nevermind in the middle of a firefight with flashing lights and bullets flying around, so you can't seem to aim at anything, nevermind the enemy. This leads to my third of all. All the guns never seem to hit anyone. Maybe its just because of the crap aim because of the angle, the big head and pretty much non-existant crosshair, but when it seems I'm aiming at the enemy's head the bullet flys wide or too high. Okay, maybe this is just kick back from the gun trying to make it more realistic? Well the kick back comes with the machine guns; all you need to do it press the trigger for a mili-second and your aiming at the ceiling, it is seriously that bad. You may be able to get one bullet into the enemy before your aiming too high. Is that just trying to make it realistic?
Well what isn't realistic is your gun attached to your back with no possible means of it hanging there; there is no strap, no holster, no nothing. It just clings to you like a needy ex. And when you switch weapons..well thats all you do. There is no animation whatsoever. You dont even reach for your gun. It just magically appears in your hand. So if they were going for the realistic touch with the crappy aiming and kickback... well they damn well f***ked it up with this.
Maybe I'm being too harsh. I only played the game for half an hour. But if a game can't give you half an hour of fun, then whats the point? Thats what a game is supposed to be; fun. Kane & Lynch is not. So if you wanna go out and waste your money, go get this game. But I highly recommend you wait a few weeks, save you pocket money and fork out a little more for something actually worth the money like Army of Two. For me (and should be for everyone else) Kane & Lynch is a big fat NO.
