Condemned 2: Bloodshot

Condemned 2: Bloodshot - PS3

Pros Cons
Intense action Annoying audio
Innovative concepts Poor storytelling
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.
