    This game is all raw nerves and bloody fists, so if that's what you're looking for, you'll find plenty of it in the equally damaging Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Condemned 2: Bloodshot.

    Not only is this the best first-person adventure I've played but it's the most brutal, skillfully detailed and paced as well. [Apr 2008, p.50]

    Despite its shortcomings, Condemned 2: Bloodshot is a good game by all accounts.

    Condemned 2 is creepy and disturbing and is probably one of the scariest games I have played, however the new combat system needs some time got used to.… Expand

    Very strange game, I'm all for horror. Love the genre but this is not horror, the start is more like something out of a mental asylum. Very weird, so weird to the point you think it's a bit stupid. The game actually made me want to stop playing it. I did persevere and have finished the game. Overall the story gets better and the evidence gathering sections are pretty interesting. The fighting controls are average and using a gun is pointless, i found it easier to throw my guns at people to stun them and then close in to finish them in close combat. Overall this is not a spoiler, only a note to highlight how pathetic the early gun fights are, it only gets realistic when you get to semi automatics. Overall about 10-15 hours of gameplay which is ok but was not super impressed with the game. Having played FEAR on PC recently maybe I'm expecting too much but FEAR was a lot better, far more engrossing story. Again this is not so much horror as it is weird sci-fi on acid.… Expand

    This is Prince of Persia 2 all over again. They took a stellar franchise and turned it into some "badass" piece of mindless trash. Do NOT buy in.
