Strong beginning and an amazing story that just went sour. Overall, pretty enjoyable.
Condemned 2: Bloodshot picked up a lot of what Condemned: CO put down, yet it lacked in the most successful department of its predecessor, a bold storyline. After the amazingly detailed and gripping storyline that Criminal Origins gave us, Bloodshot was a major disappointment. With a strong story that soured and had more predictable "twists" than a M. Night flick, BS was simply what it's initials were meant to be.
Sure, the gameplay was a major improvement, and the visuals were something to behold, but after incorporating so many systems that were more of an annoyance than entertainment .
The thrill factor was what made this game get the 8.0. The fact that I was scared to the extent of tears at certain points in the game as I progressed through the Doll Factory, and later, the School. The atmosphere and feel of the game truly lived up to it's former title, and the villains were as horrific as ever.
The length of the game was nothing special, with only one or two good sit downs to play through it, and the major cliffhanger after the credits doesn't do much to suit my taste for yet another Condemned.
The multiplayer is worth a try or two, but unless you get a talkative and funny party, it's definitely not worth spending your time on.
