 Must Experience May 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was skeptical about this game after playing the demo, seemed too much like Resident Evil or Silent Hill. But after seeing so many good reviews I bought it and I am not dissapointed. This is the first game I've played in awhile that actually made me litterally jump out of my seat quite a few times. Great story line, amazing graphics, the voice acting is also done quite well. Many extras to unlock so even after beating the game once, you'll want to defeat it many times. Overall, I loved this game. Hope they make another one soon. I'll be playing this game over and over again. Buy it!
Condemned 2 May 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It's a 1st person action game, not primarily a shooter. You basically take the role of a detective trying to figure things out. Graphics are fairly polished, sounds is minimal but very atmospheric and gets you in the mood. It controls like most 1st person games, but in this the emphasis is less on spraying bullets and more on using available resources.
Overall I rate this highly because it's different from your standard 1st person game. It does a good job of getting you into the character. It has decent production values and in the end, when I finshed it I felt satisfied.
 Great Game. Good plot. Great Sound effects. May 14, 2008

I have beaten half of this game and have not been dissapointed. The graphics on HD are pretty good (even though it is only 720p). The plot is great and very surreal and full of suspense along with the cutscenes which thicken the plot. I would have enjoyed a few more cutscenes to give me more clues about the plot. The fighting system is surprisingly good for being basically a first-person fighting/shooting game. If you are in to games such as Silent Hill or Resident Evil you will really enjoy this.
 An unmentioned absolute requirement is an HDTV I guess. Not really playable on regular TV. May 6, 2008

I played the first Condemned on PC and found it a lot of fun and enjoyed it immensely. I have a PS3 and when Bloodshot came out, I got it with high hopes. I guess it's a good game, but I can't judge. EVERY word on the screen during investigations is illegible. I've tried every TV I have (none HD) and the words are always illegible. I checked other games just to see if I had lost 90% of my vision overnight but the other games come in clear Just this one game is illegible. I completely takes me out of the game and ruins any continuity. I have to go online and look the GameFAQS guide just to get an idea of the answers I have to choose from. This game is nearly UNPLAYABLE on a regular TV. I gave it 2 stars because the game itself is fun, and I still get to hit crack heads with a 2x4 and nails, but if I want to achieve any goals or get a good performance rating without going online to find out what I'm supposed to be reading, it's going to cost me the price of an new HDtv.
edit - Other ppl's reviews mention an audio issue. I have not had any. I'm only using RCA plugs to a non-HDtv, though.
Confused for More Than 1 Reason April 27, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I'm not quite sure what everyone is talking about with audio problems. I had no problem whatsoever with mine. And I played for about 8 hours straight the second day I had it. Anyway, with that out of the way, Condemned 2 adds nothing new like the first one did to FPS, however, it is a very well done different version of a genre that seems to be getting into the "s.o.s." problem. Guns are a much more prevalent in this one than the first one, but the overall majority is still with objects lying around to use as melee weapons (the bowling pin and gumball machine were nice additions). Also, the new combo system used for hand-to-hand is actually fairly decently done. yes, it can be very frustrating at times, which is where the melee weapons come in very handy. Thrashing some poor punk with a crowbar or 2 X 4 with nails can somehow seem very gratifying. The most confusing part of the game (and the reason fro 4 stars) is the story. The idea of Ethan beating his inner demons (later in the game, very literally) is a different twist and adds a lot of depth to the story, but beyond that is a definite WTF moment. The game itself is very dark and the sceneries definitely support the mood. If you didn't like the first (or didn't play it), you will most likely not enjoy this game. However, if you want something different out of an FPS than you might give it a shot.
