Under normal circumstances, I'd agree with you. But these were pretty extraordinary circumstances and for him to come to the game with an open mind and do his best to not rehash the controversy (except a couple of vague references to not liking the first game in his video review) is commendable.

Interesting.... Jeff gave the first one a 6.0 while working at Gamespot and Gamespot gave the sequel a 6.5 (Justin Calvert reviewed). Is Justin on the hot seat now?

Wouldn't be having this conversation if the game did what it's suppose to do...be good, fun and have solid reviews all over.
Rather or not he was forced out is not changing all the other reviews but puts a black mark on GS for caving in, if that's the case.

they should have just went with 10s across the board like IGN does when Microsoft pays to turn their website into a HALO or Crackdown subsidiary.

Jeff's review was a 6.0 that read like a 2.0. I don't know where that score came from.

I feel like Kane & Lynch 2 is tricking me into watching a snuff film. That's my impression from the first section last night anyway.

Was that just this morning? I thought it was last night. But, really time has no meaning for me.

So I played this, well K&L2) for about two hours solid last night (all I could spare)...and I made it 1/2 way through the campaign.
It's fucking chaotic.

I after about 5 hours made it to the last level.. If you do play it, play it on easy or expect to die... a LOT.. As said, it is chaotic as fuck and very easy to die. I didn't like it so much so i returned it to blockbuster the next day.
I can't recommend this for anymore than the price of a rental honestly. Maybe not even that

Not really.
I ed at the review by whoever the guy who wrote it here. He said there's a captivating story... yeah dude not really.
I have the last level to play, then some more multiplayer - my review should be up by midweek. But, don't bother saving your cash for this one.

The game is worthless IMO. I can't think of a more pointless game I've played. It's unfun in almost every way possible.

Re: Gamespot Editor Jeff Gertsmann Fired Over Kane & Lynch Review
Just finished just a few minutes ago with a friend...dirt cheap so I picked it up..I knew it was short..but hell
We started at 8:30 and had to stop for about 20 minutes to do some stuff...and finished it at about 11:15...taking out the 20 minute break it was about a 2.5 hour game on normal...it is not worth the 13 bucks I paid for it. It was not even that good of a game and it was buggy as hell. It froze twice on us...enemies floated around the game like ghosts and would get stuck in walls..it did have two great moments though...and a few solid ideas..but in the end it was just broken, short and not as "cool" as it thought it was....a skip...
also I now have to play the first 4 levels over again, because the game did not register me as finishing them, even though it gave me the level specific achievements...and I did not get the game complete achievement....stupid game...
