The best game for PS3? No. But it is a damn good game to play. I really enjoy games that follow this genre of story. I'm tired of every game that comes out where you have to kill an alien. They didn't fully utilize the power of the PS3 for graphics but overall they're pretty good graphics. The story is a little unbelieveable at times, especially the Lynch character, but the Lynch character does add some humor to the game. It is a very quick game though, had it beat in about 4 days, and I'm not that serious of a gamer. Controls are a little off but become manageable, but overall it's pretty fun.
OVERRATED...had potential but, didn't live up to the hype.

I'm a big fan of this genre of games, but this game COULD be so much better. The gameplay is TOO SLOW...comparing it other games like this. I bought it right whne it was released because, I saw a quick view of it on a website...I wish I waited. It's playable...I completed the game fairly fast, but I haven't even played it since. Not a game you would enjy playing multiple times.
Eidos - you fired "Jeff" and ruined "Gamespot"

The graphics, game play and plot of this game is amazing. It is one of the funnest shoot em up games I have played. The only part I hate is the ending. Kanes a traitor!!

This game is crazy tight! If you ever seen the movie "Heat" with Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer that is how it plays out.
I think these poor reviews are being written by parents due to how violent this game is. In short, you must kill everybody who gets in your way to achieve your objective. Civilians, cops, guards ect...
This is not a game for little kids! The controls are a bit akward and take a little time to get use to but once you got it down the gaming experience is much more enjoyable. This game is challenging and may cause the younger crowd to become very frustrated while trying to get through the levels.
Hide seek and shoot is nearly non existent. You must be a quick thinker, master the controls and issue out commands to stay alive! Anything less equals failure. Probably another reason for all these poor reviews!
Download the demo from the PS3 network or rent it first just in case you are not into this type of game. The poor reviews will probably cause a price drop soon which is better for everybody who is into this type of game.
thougt was better

First off, before I purchase a game I always seek a dozen reviews before making the trip to the nearest game store.(games are just too expensive to purchase blindly)
After the overwhelmingly bad reviews this game had been receiving I stayed away and borrowed it from a friend. Sure this game is not as good as the hitman series but I must say I definitely found it entertaining(I do agree with the overuse of the F word; don't get me wrong I love it when it's used - even alot - only if it's used right: The Getaway for instance is an example of the F word being used alot but used properly)
I've only played this game about 3or4 hours but that's more than enough time to determine whether you'll like a game or not.(In fact you know within the first 20 minutes.) I found the gameplay to be fun, the one thing that cannot be overlooked, even if the other elements can be (like the story, dialog,etc..)
Bottom line, if you're looking for a fun shoot'em up look no further...
Just don't miss out like I almost did because of the bad reviews, you might like it. To be safe, rent it.
I'm giving this a five star review as another reviewer did to bring up the 2 star average it doesn't deserve.
Fun factor: I it give 3&1/2 stars out of 5
Pretty Poor

This game is pretty bad. Story is cliché. Game play is one notch above unplayable. AI is atrocious. Some scenes are unnecessarily difficult.
I was really looking forward to this game for some reason and while it's more or less what I expected premise-wise, they simply did nothing right.
Also - profanity doesn't offend me whatsoever, so if you're going to write dialogue that uses F-bombs as punctuation - please make it believable. Profanity shock value is just so laaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmme.
GG Kane and Lynch. GFY.
This is what your looking at
