An addictive and scary game with few flaw...in the campaign.

There aren't too many games that have made me genuinely scared. But this game, at one point, made me afraid to continue the game. I had to put the controller down and take a break before finding out what was making the frightening noises I was hearing. But anyway, this game is good.

Condemned: Criminal Origins was, in my opinion, the only launch title game for the 360 that took advantage of the system's capabilities. And now Bloodshot steps up to the bar that Criminal Origins had raised for horror games, and beat it to death. In other words, what the first game has done this game has done so much better.

First of all, the graphics are beautifully disturbing. There is great deal in every character whether it be the facial features or their animations. And has anyone else noticed how much time they took making the blood look so...bloody.

Sound is at it's finest in this game. Whether it's the excellent voice acting or the soundtrack that fits ever moment perfectly, you will never be displeased.

As for the combat, fighting hand to hand with hobos is as fun as ever. Every time you hit them and you receive a hit, you can pretty much feel it. And it hurts. Just try to ignore the fact that there is no way someone can be standing after getting smacked in the face with an axe...but that isn't too important.

But it isn't all good. First of all, there should never be a multi-player component to a horror game...that's what I believe at least. Instead of adding in multi-player, they really outta have added a bit more length to the campaign. I mean, I'm sure there are people out there happy to play multi-player, but I frankly don't give a crap about it.

Overall, this game is a frightening experience has will have plenty of sections for fans of this genre to love.
