Condemned 2: Bloodshot Review
Hmm, Condemned 2. Where do I begin? Why not some good. The first game was one of the best launch titles for the 360, and probably the only one worth buying. It had its share of scares, combat, and grossness. How does the new one stand up to it? Well, you don't have to worry about them being the exact same game. This one is way different from the first one, actually adding a lot of new content. First off, definitely the combat. The attacks feel good and fluid, and generally the hit detection is spot on. Multiplayer may be different, but its probably just the lag. The sound is incredible, and everything sounds amazing. The gunfire is generic, but not that bad. Graphics are modest, but they are really good for making you scared. Such as lighting and gloom effects are spot on. Oh yeah. This game is SCARY. Maybe not to some, but for others, it will make you want to play with all the lights on, and maybe a person watching you. The atmosphere is great, the lighting is great, the sound is great, and all that will come to together and scare the crap out of you. Now the bad. The multi-player. No I'm not saying its bad. No I'm not saying its good either. Its pretty much generic. I cant say I like the deathmatch and team deathmatch, simply because everyone will eventually gather into a huge ball of fist throwing and kill stealing. But bum rush and especially crime scene are loads of fun, and will give you something to do for a few days. Now the actual bad. VOICE ACTING! The voice acting is all modest, except some people its terrible. Did the newscaster know she was voice ACTING? Her voice annoyed me, simply cause it sounded like they got her off the street to read lines. Also whats bad, the screen will get really blurry during the hallucination scenes, and a lot of the levels seemed put there since they were a good idea the developers had. The story is okay, but it really becomes stupid at the later levels. And now on to the new stuff. Combos and the investigations. The combos are tough to pull off, but are pretty cool, and the investigations are cool, but they get pretty tough. Finding out whats arterial splatter and random splatter is tough, simply cause I what the heck some of the answers are. But overall, the games a great horror game, and a pretty good edition to any Xbox 360 or PS3 owner.
