- Coming to Condemned 2 as a huge fan of the original game will be hard. With such high expectations it'll take time to adjust to the game's more action packed tone, but persevere and you'll find a game with vastly improved gameplay dynamics that make up for shortcomings in scares.
Tom Orry · Apr 07, 2008 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - While I'm generally not much of a fan of gore-porn like Saw or Hostel, I loved Condemned 2 start to finish, despite it coming from a similarly depraved place. This game is all raw nerves and bloody fists, so if that's what you're looking for, you'll find plenty of both in the equally damaging Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Condemned 2: Bloodshot.
Ryan Davis · Mar 27, 2008 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - Condemned 2 doesn't make as big of a splash as its predecessor, but it does everything necessary to make a quality sequel. There are more features, fan complaints are addressed and it's still as spine tingling as ever. The story, though less akin to Swiss cheese than the first one was, is not as gripping and the game feels as if it lost its focus in the latter stages.
Erik Brudvig · Mar 20, 2008 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - It may take you nine hours or so to finish up the main story, though you can return to it at higher difficulty levels, or take on some of the simple unlockable challenges and compare your scores to those of others via online leaderboards. But the reason to play Condemned 2: Bloodshot is to be scared, to be shocked, and to explore the secrets of a slimy world where the natural and the supernatural become intertwined.
Kevin VanOrd · Mar 19, 2008 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - Overall, Condemned 2 is bad. It's got one or two fun mechanics, which it absolutely refuses to let the player enjoy for any significant length of time. The story sucks, the level design is even worse, and the graphics are grimy to the point of being ridiculous. It's only worth a rent if you absolutely, positively have to see the upgraded fighting system; otherwise, just pass on this lackluster sequel and play the slightly-less-flawed original.
Anthony Burch · Mar 14, 2008 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Condemned 2: Bloodshot definitely has all the ingredients for a memorable horror game. It has enjoyable gameplay, an engaging story, some freaky visuals, and super-effective sound. And while it is the single player mode that stands out as the best part of this title, the multiplayer is not too shabby either. This game is definitely worth adding to your library.
Amanda L. Kondolojy · Mar 11, 2008 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - The original Condemned was really the first of its kind. The first-person pugilism, investigative challenges, and somber tone have been expanded for Bloodshot. Still, the experience remains relatively the same—just more supernatural and less plausible this time around.
Game Trailers · Mar 11, 2008 Reviewed on PS3, X360 - Overall though, Condemned 2 deserves hearty praise for improving on everything it did first time around. The melee combat is brutally intense, the investigations play a bigger part, the visuals are top-notch, and the whole thing's wrapped up with engaging narrative. The multiplayer's one rather pointless and ill-judged addition, and a few sections of the offline campaign could have been better, but on the whole Monolith has delivered a compelling, classy follow-up that horror fans will happily devour.
Kristan Reed · Mar 20, 2008 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Condemned 2 a la chance de reposer sur les bases du premier épisode. C'est heureux car les innovations de cette suite ne sont pas toutes des réussites. Les amateurs savent en tout cas qu'ils peuvent compter sur l'ambiance oppressante bien que légèrement moins flippante qu'autrefois et sur des combats à mains nues dont le degré de violence a encore pris du galon. On oublie en revanche le mode multi, l'aspect FPS raté ou les espoirs de voir un système d'enquête stimulant.
