  • Condemned 2: Bloodshot

    It's been eleven grueling months since the Serial Killer X case, as well as the suspension and resignation of former SCU agent Ethan Thomas. After the events of Condemned: Criminal Origins, the only peace the ex-crime scene investigator can seem to find is at the bottom of a glass of whiskey -- and even then, he can't escape his hallucinations and nightmares. No, time hasn't been kind to Mister Thomas, but rest assured-it's only going to get much worse before it gets any better.

Just plain fun  
This horror game is mildly disappointing, but very fun and frightening for the most part.


Too frightening for all the little kiddies

Many people who play this game say it scares the crap out of them, but they just love the fear. This is by far, one of the scariest games you will ever play. If you really want ti be up for a week with your lights turned on, I recommend playing at night with the lights turned off. It may not be too scary in the beginning but trust me, later on you'll be having nightmares about well, you'll see...

It Was Actually Good.

I borrowed this game from a friend, and I'm glad I did this games is kick ass. 1 thing I hate is that you can't have a gun half of the time, and the storyline sucks, but this is a good ass game.

SCARY SCARY SCARY

Turn the lights down hunker down in your favorite chair and freak yourself out. the game looks and plays very very good, controls like a dream, is well paced, however it does start a little slow in the scare department but once things get going you'll be peeing you pants calling for mommy, or someone. don't say you weren't warned.

An interesting but ultimately flawed horror game

I had a viral infection in my meninges when I played Condemned 2. I was prescribed Vicodain but was told not to take it (thanks for nothing doc) and instead had to survive on Advil. When the aspirin kicked in and my brain didn't feel like it was going to pop out of my skull, I would boot up Condemned 2 and play for a few hours.

I can't say I enjoyed every single minute of the game. The hand to hand combat is awesome as is the first person perspective; I also liked the CSI evidence gathering at crime scenes. But the story is so hokey that I had trouble making sense of it and the gameplay felt really uneven. Camera issues also cut into the game as did some control issues.

Still, it's an interesting game and I found myself wanting to see it through to the end. I'm glad I made the investment in time but it didn't exactly leave a lasting impression. I recommend you give it a rental unless you really liked the first one, at which point, you should probably buy it.

Condemned 2

Great game! It is really creepy and i love the fighting controls. I was totally sucked in. The only down side is when you get to the puzzle solving which is not all that obvious. Come on guys, we aren't CSI here. Give us some hints!
