GUIDES: Kane and Lynch: Dead Men Walkthrough XBOX 360 Kane and Lynch: Dead Men Strategy Guide

Similar to the opening of Grand Theft Auto 3, Kane and Lynch begins with a prison transport ambush and subsequent escape in a bright orange jumpsuit. The narrative is very strong during these opening scenes, but you're quickly thrust into the middle of a firefight where the only way out is to shoot your way through the cops.

In the co-op mode -- which is only available offline, sadly (splitscreen) -- the second player takes control of the psychopathic Lynch through the same levels from the single-player campaign. He wields a shotgun instead of Kane's machine gun, and takes different paths at certain points in the story (later in the game you'll actually see him hallucinate as well). But even with this added perspective, the game walks a fine line between providing dark humor and courting controversy, as in one scene we saw, Lynch saw hostages as police and police with weirdly realistic pig heads during his freak-out moments.
