Kane and Lynch site possibly lying about scores
By admin | December 4, 2007
As if the relationship between Kane & Lynch and review scores wasn’t messy enough, and now this? Visitors to the game’s official site will notice, once the page’s flash intro is done, that two review scores for the game are flashed for your perusal. One from GameSpy, one from Game Informer. Both look positively glowing! Both give the game a very encouraging five stars! Thing is, both are…well, not real. They’re fabricated. Lies, if you will.
GameSpy did not say “It’s the best emulation of being in the midst of a Michael Mann movie we’ve ever seen” in their review of the game. They said that in their E3 2007 coverage. In other words, a preview. They also did not give the game five stars. They gave it three.
As for Game Informer, same deal. The highlighted quote does not appear in the review of the game. Nor do they give it five stars. Game Informer don’t even score in stars. They gave it a 7/10.
