The Bottom Line:
"Surprisingly good"
I finished this game a couple days ago, and I tend to agree with the review.
Definitely more enjoyable than the first I would say is the bottom line for Condemned 2: Bloodshot.

Especially in terms of level design, I really didn't get lost at all in Condemned 2.
This was a big problem in the first game due to the fact that the environments, while incredibly detailed, were also recycled a lot. Making it easy to get lost and think to yourself "Have I already been here?" constantly.
Bloodshot also has a GPS system to help guide you through the levels. This would have been a great addition in the Condemned 1, but in this current incarnation of Condemned I barely used the thing.

The locations also set this game apart. While they may not most original idea's, they certainly work in terms of the fright factor.
A couple of the levels had me thinking "Oh great, not this kind of place" before I even started moving around the level.
So yeah, the levels are memorable and put together great.

The story isn't incredibly bad, and is a continuation of the first games. Of course, this means it isn't incredibly good either.
It does in fact have a few bright moments, especially during some of the investigative scenes. Good voice work and overall sound design creates a great atmosphere for the setting and also helps move things along at a decent pace.

Come for the dark atmospheric brutality, stay for the fairly unique and satisfying combat system

    While the melee gameplay is fun, the story itself actually seems to lack, and it's not as scary as it's hyped up to be.. continue »
