I'd suspected it'd be Metroid: Other M, or maybe Peace Walker. Maybe we'll see those in the coming weeks.

The game had S*** story and semi-decent gameplay. Versus the first game that had semi-decent story and S*** gameplay. Premise ain't bad if IO were worth a damn anymore these days.
After a ho-hum day of classes on things I really couldn't give two farts about, this review was just what I needed. Some unabashed 'telling it like it is'. K&L2 wasn't on my list of games to eventually get to and now it's on my list of 'games that if I see it in someones collection I'm going to look at them like they have two heads and ask "Why?"' Thanks Y.
Terrible game, which gives me an undeserved sense of entitlement for having stuck it out and beaten it. Spot-on review.
It looked great, except that they used that great system to make areas look bugs-crawling-all-over-you disgusting. And populated it with hundreds of copies of an overweight balding Chinese man wearing half a shirt. And pixelated half of the gore and all of the nudity.
On that tangent, it's gotta be the most inane, puerile, nonsensical (With some more redundant insults thrown in for good measure; this deserves them all) move to treat the game as if some mystery person is watching it on YouTube. The loading screens are purposefully (Why?) reminiscent of buffering a video from ten years ago, violence and nudity is instantly pixelated as if it's a news video, and there's a cameraman holding your point of view and doing it terribly. Except he is invisible, and obviously doesn't exist anywhere in reality. So the entire presentation is at odds with itself, as it's made up of at least three (I think I would go up to "four") wholly incompatible realities. Apparently the creators were just told to mash any viral-video-related concepts they could think of into the presentation?
Your alert that a fresh wave of fat barely-shirted men is approaching is to hear one of the characters yell "FUUUUCK" again, in a "God-DAMN I'm getting annoyed at having to shoot even more of these guys, is there nothing else to do in this game?" tone of voice.
So it is an unintentionally hilarious game, I suppose. I had a good time mocking it. I had a good time hearing Yahtzee mock it. I know exactly what he's talking about with those dogs at the end, too (Fortunately, I was playing co-op. My brother held back -- while I sprinted hell-bent-for-airplane -- to shoot them, so we could finally stop replaying that retarded final level. Many groans of frustration were had that night, and absolutely not just because of that one part. However, being forced to fail due to shitty game mechanics did extend the playtime considerably. Which was not a good thing, except on paper).

At first i didnt like the story but when i started to just go with it i realized that is was brilliant. cant really explain why but it's the same thing as watching lost highway and try to explain that. Also the weaponhandling was really good the moment you realized that is isn't modern warfares shitty rodeospray but a quite good realistic recoil that pushes the gun upwards and needs to be constantly adjusted to hit something. Something new for most consolers i think ^^
The only shame is the game being so short and lacking in variation.

I do not understand how people think this a shitty game. it isnt great, but its not bad either. The storyline is simple, how is it in anyway confusing? Thats just bullshit.
"Derp, Chest high walls" I agree on this, but it seems like you're going for a quick laugh by making more chest-high walls puns.
There is an option to turn the shaky cam off you know, not that hard.
I liked this game, it was fun even though the gameplay seemed to linger-on for the longest time.

Hmmm, well, I guess all I can say to you, Yahtzee, is that angrier doesn't = funnier.
Because that really got boring to listen to there...=(

Ya know, his whole comment on the ending...I think was the point. Kane and Lynch were never supposed to be very...fortuitious. Hell, if not for the sequal, Lynch would be dead, as would Kane's daughter. And a lack of a joke about that shows he did not beat the first game.
