As you step into the world of pitch black nothingness and terror fueling your adrenaline, You must be prepared to fight hand to hand, pipe to pipe and whatever else you can get your hands on to survive.
In this sequel to Condemned: Criminal Origins brought to us by Sega and Monolith, You return to the life of Ethan Thomas and follow him through his second journey of all the worst, dirtiest, grittiest abandoned ares you can imagine brutally beating meth addicts and whoever or whatever else attacks you.
One of the colourful people Ethan's met.
Condemned 2 has definitely improved itself from its prequel, The new unarmed combat is quiet good, with the left and right triggers dedicated to Ethans' left and right fist when fighting. You have a 'quick kick' which is controlled with a push in of the right thumb stick and can be used when unarmed or armed. The left and right triggers throw jabs, but if you click in the left thumb stick then push a trigger you throw hooks and upper cuts. The array of unarmed fighting add a bit more variety and keep fist fighting not too dull.
The weapons are considerably the same as the first one with a few new additions. The fighting is more brutal, quick and violent than its predecessor. The crime scene investigation is far more in depth this time around however. You must examine and catalogue evidence at the crime scene and then guess the nature of the crime. If you guess correctly, you will receive upgrade points which can be used for upgrades such as more health and armour.
Ethans Pole.
The graphics and lighting are great. The shadows and minuscule amounts of light really give the game that extra creepy, eerie feel to it. Not to mention the minutes of silence broken by a man with a blood curdling scream running at you with a pole
The multiplayer has a variety of modes which include:
# Deathmatch – the player to reach the kill limit or the player with the most kills at the end of the time limit wins.
# Team Deathmatch – two teams of multiple players compete for the most kills.
# Bum Rush – a time based game of SCU Agents versus Influenced bums. The SCU cannot respawn but get to use guns, have a lot more health and kill with one shot or melee, and must last as long as possible against the bums.
# Crime Scenes – another gametype putting the SCU agents against the Influenced. The Influenced must hide two cases of evidence, while the SCU agents must use their equipment to find and scan the evidence before time runs out.
Condemned 2 is filled with action, horror and a lot of violence. If you enjoyed the first, You'll love the second, I recommend it.
