Condemed2 isn't as bad as what some have announced it to be. The controls are what made the game more challenging. The story-line has a twisted plot as like Bioshock. Condemed2, game interaction has its own feel to it. You basically, use nothing but melee, fighting techniques, to beat down the enemy, literally. Using anything you can find, wood planks, bricks, electrical conduit, or anything that you can tear out of a wall to use as a weapon, Condemed2 has you basically street fighting threw out the whole game. You will also investigate crime scenes in the game, where you use your wits to find out clues, which gave the game a more RPG flare to it.
You play as a investigator named, Eathan Thomas, who works for the SCU forensics unit, that investigates abnormal activities. Eathan Thomas doesn't really keep in mind that he is a investigator or legal authority. Which at his day and time nothing seems normal, as an entire city is broken into chaos by strange happenings. Eathan is called back to duty, because he has knowledge of these type of events from before.
Sega and Monolith, made a very different and very fun game. I got aggravated by the controls. But found that once you get the hang of using L1 for left punch, R1 for right punch, and R3 button to kick you really find this game is pretty unique. Which it also becomes a breeze to run threw, after you get the hang of all the motion that the enemy does. When you clobber them over the head with a sledge hammer, the bums, and other enemy stagger sometimes when you have dazed/stunned them, which they sometimes come back around with another swing. You really have to stay on your toes when your beatin them down cause the AI is very hostile. Which made the game very hilarious. Throwing bricks and watching the AI grab their head, because they didn't know what just hit them, was always funny.
This game is different and worth a try. Has a boring multi-player, but the single player was definitely fun and humorous to play.
