An excellent game ruined by the ridiculous Saving System and Difficulty

User Rating: 7 | Condemned 2 PS3
First of all, i think this is a GREAT game, and i would give it at least a 9 if it wasn't for the problems that screw the fun completely.
Im going to be really quick in my review.

The Good:
-Excellent graphics

-Great gameplay

-Good story and voice acting

-The horror factor is always there


The Bad:
-The game is incredibly hard. Even on normal its "hard".
It seems the enemies can defeat you in only 5 seconds while you take at least 20 to finish one. Another thing is that most of them carry weapons (specially in the beginning of the game when you have none) and makes it almost impossible to run past one without dying.
Just prepare yourself, you are going to die FREQUENTLY.

-Ridiculous Saving System
One of the worst things in this game, is the fact the save spots (auto-saves) seem to be to little. This means if you won a battle against a horde of enemies, almost with no health left after, you would expect an auto-save right? Wrong. In most of these cases there wont be none, and the next thing you will see will be another hordes of enemies (or just one!) that will kill you without a sweat, thanks to your almost "zero" health. A great example of this, is when you finish the first "real boss" and the auto-save is miles ahead after you beat it, meaning you can still die and fight it all over again! Trust me, if you play this game, this is what will frustrate you more.

-Where do i go/do now?
Sometimes, the game isn't clear enough on what you should do next, leading you to look around, go to the wrong path only to go around in circles until you finally notice that "small and not highlighted spot" you should go/jump to.



Overall i like this game, i think its one of the best horror games out there, but unfortunately its ruined by the problems refereed above. Still, i recommend you to play it.
