Kane and Lynch sequel likely

NewsPosted 11/01/2008 - 10:07am GMT

Controversial title sells over a million despite receiving lower than desired review scores.

SCi has announced that Kane and Lynch has performed very well at retail, selling over a million units since its release on November 13 in the US and November 23 across Europe.

The company anticipates the title will continue to sell well through the remainder of its financial year and that Kane and Lynch will establish itself as another "key franchise for the group".

Sales-to-date for the game over a comparable period have exceeded those of Hitman: Blood Money.

Other titles praised for strong sales include Pony Friends for Nintendo DS (over 600,000 units) and Tomb Raider: Anniversary on Wii.

Well i thought the game needed more urban levels! and MORE team mates who were strong! god those rebels i picked up from havana died in 10 seconds! Also to be able to ask my team mates for ammo all the time and they'll never say "get your own"

i think the game was great, the story line could of had some flash backs just to get a visual of the past tent, although the game was great. Edios should most definetly come out with another one

I agree the controls were pleasant on my end and I didn't mind the graphics, it was better than PS2 but it didn't push the PS3 to it's limit. All in all, it wasn't an eye soar. Also, replying to you Ginger, just because it's from Eidos doesn't mean every game should be like Hitman. If only you knew what Freedom Force is. And a Hitman co-op wouldn't be fun.

Have to disagree...while the game play was alternately jerky or sluggish, the overall game and story was worth continuing. Closest thing to a Tarantino movie you'll see on a console.

Well if their is another Kane & Lynch game, then they need to improve it loads from the previous one. My mate had it and we went on xbox live it was ok, but the graphics was like a PS2 it wasn't fit for a dog. The controls felt luggish and I thought the gameplay would be like Hitman, it didn't feel like that at all.

Edios should make another Hitman game, and have co-op in that so one your freinds can take one half of the building while you cover the other half. It would be better that way to be honest, seeing as their is alot of Hitman fans out their in the world. It could properly get world record sales if it has some elements from Kane & Lynch, great ideas from Edios but it didn't really work.
