Kane & Lynch - Dead Men Mobile Game

Eidos is serious about expanding its mobile presence, what with the recent releases of Tomb Raider and Pandemonium for 3D-enabled handsets. But what about mobile gamers with handsets capable of o­nly 2D graphics? And what about the sub-set of that group that wants to play an action game about a mercenary and a madman?

Eidos has that group covered, too.

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is based o­n the upcoming console game of the same name, starring two desperate men forced into an uneasy partnership. Kane is the lone survivor of a shattered merc operation. Lynch is a certified psychopath, sentenced to death for the murder of his wife. These are not good men, but Dead Men hints at the possibility of redemption for either of these twisted souls.

The mobile shooter runs players through 38 levels across five different scenarios, such as a bank or nightclub mission. You control o­ne of the men while the other follows, offering cover and support. Each anti-hero is a weapons expert, so expect plenty of firepower, including an uzi, shotgun and an assault rifle. Lynch has a sniper rifle he can use to pick off certain targets, such as switches or distant shooters before they draw a bead o­n Kane.

We'll have a few review of Kane & Lynch for mobile when the game bows o­n handsets, likely around the November release of the game o­n the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. In the meantime, check out all nine screens of the game in action.
