Condemned 2: Bloodshot for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

I am an avid fan of the Playstation, but I will admit that I borrowed an Xbox to play a few games (Condemned, being one of them.) I never finished the game because it never quite drew me into the plot. Condemned 2 changes this, drastically.

Everything that was mediocre within the first title has been revamped and made, for the most part, better. The crime scene investigations require the player to be intuitive in selecting tools to do the job right, wherein the first game simply told you what to do with a certain tool. I actually enjoyed surveying a crime scene.

The gameplay is a bit different in that the team at Sega has included a slew of new guns, an element not explored in the first outing (for good reason though.) Regardless, the weapon selections are amazing! The first 10 minutes gives the player an opportunity to beat a man to death using a prosthetic limb... I can't think of many other titles, save for Earthworm Jim, that allow you such a moment to shine. While fighting, you may even be given the opportunity to perform a special finishing move... a T.V. to the face, perhaps?

Atmosphere is where this game truly performs. It is creepy, moody, dark, and downright scary throughout. I love survival horror games, and God knows that Jericho was a disappointment for us, the PS3 gamers. This is a no brainer for those wishing to appease their inner horror junkie.

Oh, almost forgot. The multiplayer is just as weird as the actual game. Sort of what I'd imagine serial killers to do for fun... you know, outside the other hobby. Essentially it uses the same mechanics of deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag, and king of the hill but adds a disturbing twist. Multiplayer is ONLINE ONLY and has no co-op feature. From what I've played, it's pretty fun. It won't replace UT3, CoD4, RFoM, or Warhawk anytime soon, though.

If you're looking for a good way to kill some time and enjoy a relatively frightening gaming experience, look no further.
