Kane and Lynch: Dead Men is actually a pretty good game in my opinion. I had mixed feelings about this game but after playing it I was pleasantly surprised on a lot of fronts.
The game kind of reminds me of ghost recon in the way that you really have to be tactical and know how to direct your team if you want to live. The faster you can realize that you need to stay in a group and send in your people ahead of you to clear areas, the better off you will be. Let them start and you come behind and finish. The graphics arent the greatest but they are ok. The storyline was actually pretty good until the end which was a disappoint for either ending.
The game did for the most part stay on a believable track and you strangely find yourself routing for Kane, an anti-hero if you ever found one. No good deed goes unpunished in the end and the ending is proof of that.The game is a fast paced, bullet flying, adrenaline rush. There are a few points in the game that will really frustrate you. The scene where you have to kill the truck driver, or the one where you have to get out of the club, or oh my personal favorite on the roof with the helicopter. If you played this game you know what I am talking about and if you haven’t you will. I did beat the game in about 9 hours so its not really a long game but I suppose it does have decent replay value. Feel free to drop me a comment if you are stuck, I will help if I can.
*Note: To all you gamers playing this on PC, I wanna let you know that you are not crazy there appears to be a glitch in the PC version of the game and though I don’t review PC games an awesome gamer named Ben pointed it out to me and I decided that it was worth putting up in case others come across the problem. So the tip is about the part when you have to shoot the mine when you are in the hacienda and you are listening to the brothers talk.
“Shoot the mine when Lynch says to, Not when the convo ends. There is a glitch in the PC version at that part of the game.”
Hope this helps you PC gamers and thanks Ben.

how do you get out of the club????? lynch ALWAYS dies
oK, so getting out of the club is tricky but can be done. As soon as the mission starts grab the gun and kill the guy that is shooting you from the window. Once you kill him, get in a crouch and come around the corner and kill the two guys at the top of the steps. Try to get them before they see you. Once you do that, dont go down the first set of steps rather take the back steps. There will be a guard coming up so take him out. I like to get up close and use the combat system it is quicker than shooting a lot of time and faster. Once you take him out go down the stairs and make a right and go under the stairs. This is the path of least resistance, stay along the wall.
The key to beating this mission is knowing how to identify the enemies from the masses. The difference is that all of them are carrying flashlights. Any time you see a light and I mean anytime shot at it. There will be two guys coming toward you, take them out. One who doesnt come in but kinda of hangs back behind the corner is a little tough, but you have to kill him or else you will never make it. Make sure you have killed all the guys in the room with you. Then shoot out the glass window in front of you. There are two guys across from it, kill them preferrably head shots or just spray them. There are also other guards out hear as well so just remember to, when you see a flashlight shoot at it. Once you have cleared this area you should go around toward the exit which will lead into a cutscene and more enemies.
The strategy here is patience. When there are less enemies run up and engage in hand to hand its much faster. When you are so royally outnumbered patience is king. Make sure to keep directing lynch to hang back behind you then run up a little further that way you divert fire to you and away from him. You can take a lot more than he can here. So remember patience, clear the rooms, flashlights are bad. If you do this you should be able to clear this level, be patience is virtue here. Let me know if this helped.

it worked a charm thank you very much, if i have any difficulties completing other levels (which i definitly will, im not very good at these games lol) ill ask you
thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ll be around, so ask away. I am also in the middle of Assassin’s Creed and Uncharted. I will have some topics on them soon too. And I have beat Heavenly Sword and Conan too.
ok the mission chapter 7 where you have to protect jenny, she keeps on dying in the hole after the truck returns for the second time im in the hole shooting at the driver for short bursts but she always dies…
Ok so this is a tough one. You have to shoot out the window, the side window and kill the driver. I suggest using the automatic versus the pistol here. This one you just have to keep doing it. Once they run over you the first time at the beginning, immediately jump out of the hole and start chasing it up the hill, try not to get shot by one of the guys in the back. Once it gets to the top of the hill it has to back up, this is when you lay into that window aiming carefully with everything you got. It will crack at first keeping shooting it and it will shatter for the kill. If you do it right the truck will actually go back down over the hole but it wont kill Jenny. It will go to turn around again, this is where you finish him off. Its a slow turn so take your time and take him out. Hope this helps.

Hey mate, i’m stuck on the bit where you repel down a waterfall and you have to get to the hut before they set off the flare.
Good Day Mate,
Here the lowdown on this one. DON’T repel down the waterfall, I find that this puts you in a position where you have to come at your enemy from the front. What you want to do here is flank your enemy from the left. So instead of going down the waterfall, go to your left and walk down the path that is there, be careful not to be seen. When you get to the bottom of the path there will be two big trees. If you can get here with out being seen you have a chance. Most of the time here, you have two options. You can try to get into the truck, and use that gun but trust me you will die everytime.
So here is what you do. You make sure you tell your whole team to get behind that true. Then you flank around behind the truck to the far left. Before you start, send your team in to attack the hut. A firefight will start, so watch out and don’t die. You MUST get to the steps on the backside of the hut and get in there and clear it. If you don’t they will set the alarms off everytime. So as soon as you send your team in and the firefight breaks out, run like a madman for those steps behind the house and get in there and clear it as fast as you can. More than likely if you can kill a few people in the inside your team will be able to get up there and assist you with dispatching the rest of them. This may not work until you get the timing down but once you do, it works like a charm.
So remember in combat you never approach your enemy head on if you can, attempt to flank them and thus gain the advantage. Run in there guns blazing, grenades flying and clear that house. Don’t worry about getting shot cause if you don’t clear that house in time you lose anyway. You have to get into that main room, once there you have it. Let me know if this helps.

I’ll have a go and see what happens, cheerz buddy
In the scene where you have to plant the bomb at the front gate of the hacienda when ur looking for the brothers.. I kill all the guards and everything seems good to go but Carlos will not move from his spot. Getting very frustrated any help would be much appreciated!
Hey Daniel,
This is an easy one, you simply have to direct him to move just like you have been doing your people all game. The trick here is to kill all the guards before you have him move or he will die everytime. When doing this dont forget about the guards way off in the distance as you get all the way to the end of the path, there is one in a tower and one in a room behind that, you should take them both out too. So yeah, just kill the guys and then use the team commands to move Carlos from place to place, also dont forget about the guard in the tower, if Carlos gets shot the bomb will explode.
So lets review, kill the guards, and then just use the team commands to move Carlos toward the gate the same way you have been directing them the whole game. Let me know if this helps.

How can I kill the two brothers when in the court? Too many soldiers shoot and I istant die… I saw the mine, but if I shoot it I die! Please send an answer to jacopo.foroni@libero.it!
Thanks!
how the hell do you beat the part where the two guys are with jenny by the fountain… we are playing in co-op and have tried everything but each time all of the guards just take us out when they said that jenny wants you dead
You have to shoot the mine, its the only way. As soon as you get control back in the cutscene as the two brothers are talking, dont move so much as aim and fire at the mine, if you hit it another cutscene should start and that is when all h&^! breaks loose from this point you really have to hide and try to stay alive while killing the guys up top. The quickest way is you have to get to the underpass on the left side of the courtyard, i am not going to lie from this point it is a mess, you are outgunned and outnumbered but you can make it just play smart.
So remember you cant shoot at the brothers you die, dont even aim near them. Aim for the mine and shoot it and launch the cutscene be careful if you get to close you will die. If you do it just right and leave enough space between you and the bomb and you get the good cutscene. If you die the first time try shooting it from further away. (Note: When I beat this section I had a rocket launcher, it doesn’t matter but if you have one it makes it much easier.) Hope this helps.

I’ve gottne passed the part where you repel the waterfall and take over the hut, I am having difficulty getting passed the next part of the seen, where the hanging briidge is. Every time I try to snipe the guys, the set off a flare. Please help !!!
Ok, be cool this one is rather really simple, your right if you try to snipe the guys they will set of the flare. So here is the really key, you MUST get across that bridge at all cost. Direct your team to cross all the way to the far side of the bridge and then run across as fast as you can yourself. If you do this they will try to engage you on the bridge at the point of attack, while your mean engage in the firefight don’t worry about anything but securing that little post over there, you have to get across the bridge and then take out anyone near the flare. This part is a little crazy but trust me just go balls to the wall and run like a madman across that bridge and engage them up close, if you try to do it from far away it wont work.
So don’t try to snipe from afar, take the fight to them, don’t worry about getting shot just get across the bridge or you don’t have a chance. So go get up close and personal.
