After the success of 'Condemned: Criminal Origins', "Condemned 2: Bloodshot" had to make a deep impact. To me the game has done this and is only hindered by small aspects. The overuse of firearms in the game somewhat move the series out of the classic smash and bash gameplay. The graphics as a whole are quite impressive but are not on par with the better games of this gen; Call of Duty 4, Gears of War.There is definitely a lot of fun to be had with this game and the...

This was done for... Read more

Condemned 2: Bloodshot

The original Condemned was a standout 360 launch title; a dark first person brawler with plenty of cheek-clenching moments. The atmosphere was soaked with a permanent sense of dread, and the often-hectic combat was incredibly intense. The sequel, Condemned 2: Bloodshot looks to expand on the success of the first by giving the protagonist, Ethan Thomas, some more brutal hand to hand moves and plenty more up close and personal threats to his well being.
