Poll: Why the bad publicity?

[A.A.K]

I have been meaning to play Kane & Lynch since time it was $120, and the moment i heard of Dog Days (it's sequel) i legged it outta the house and to the nearest rent-a-thing store and got a copy of K&L one. I love it. I'm currently stuck on the 2nd last level (i got desperate for a walkthrough approximately 10minutes ago) and whilst i was reading this walkthrough i saw a review. They gave it 6. I went to another place, 6.2.
I dont understand why. I think this game is absolutely brilliant, could be better definitely, but i love it and im a hard-ass when it comes to games.
The shooting though not as flashy as CoD6 but its effective, and relatively realistic. The story is unique. The gameplay demands a higher intellect then "Run-Shoot-Teabag". and even the hud and death is more interesting, demanding adrenaline rushes to avoid death. You bleed - no health meter and rather then your checkpoint, its replaced by "scenes" which are very similar and more frequent to aid with the inevitable DEATH.
Morals are in question yet only stretched to the point of agreement, considering you are an ex-merc on death row hunting for your daughter with a medicated psychopath keeping you line.

I want to know whether you believe the 6.2 is too harsh, if not-why it deserved it.

I did not like Kane&Lynch that much at all. Kind off a generic game.

Although I do think that more popular games get lower scores, because 6 isn't supposed to be a bad score.

I played the predecessor to K&L. Freedom Fighters. It was a rather good game. But when you compare the amount of polish the studio put into this one, it naturally looks like a PS2 game rather than something out of Halo with the "bump mapping" There's a few points.

Keeping your men alive is handled the same way as Freedom Fighters. Adrenaline or Med Kits when you're close

The story is intriguing. With two men who couldn't be more different, and the fact that when you play coop you're getting and even more varied part of Kane's story, this is a great game for replayability.

I'm not entirely sure if it's the guns. The seemed to be fairly accurate.

Oh, around the time that it came out, it was unfinished. The bugs really had it slammed. That had more to do with it than anything.
