User Rating: 8.5 | Condemned 2 X360
This is the Sequal to 2005 360 lanch title, Condemned: Criminal Origins, which was the most popular next to call of duty 2. You played as Ethan Thomas, an F.B.I investagater on a grisly, gore fest adventure to track down multiple serial killers, once SKX is to be thought dead, a year later the bodies are piling up once again, and Ethan tomas in socities last hope to over come the rising madness.

STORY

well, its very important that you play the first game in order to understand a single thing in bloodshot. One of the worse things about the story is no matter how well you understand the first games story, bloodshots story is very confusing, but it has good characters, plots, and scares that make up for it.

GAMEPLAY

This is were bloodshot exels. the brutal hand to hand combat is very satifying, and its all very realistic. You can use almost anything for a wepon, 2x4's, toilet seats,bowling balls,guns,fists,alchool bottles,tazers, etc etc etc.
The wepons also will break if they are used for a long time, and when you beat down a bum, sometimes he will be dosed and you can pick him up and preform an enviroment kill( Throughing the bum through a tv screen, or crushing his head in a simple machine).the only negative side is that mele is funner than gun play and it will be hard to survive tworads the end of the game if you dont use guns.


GRAPICHS

Just plain supurb, visualy stunning. the enviroments, enemies,and charcter desings are just as beautyful as they are hideous. the only issue is the frame rate droping seveal times during a game. it improved form how bad the frame rate was in criminal origins. this was a problem that i really didnt want to see come back, but its not going to effect the gameplay all that much.

SOUND

One word, perfect. the haunting set peices, and Realisic sound effects set a truly terrifying atmostphere. the voice acting is so good it sound like a movie. the only issue with this involves when the frames screw up then the sound doesnt sync in with the action happening. but otherwise its great.

LEVEL DESING

well, when i played criminal origins, i nearly tore my head off becuase of the confusing level desing. when i picked bloodshot up i was hoping that it improved, it did. with the eception of a few levels the level desing is less confusing this time around.

MULTIPLAYER

this is were bloodshot fails misserably.......The multiplayer is jut plain boring, and useless... you may only play it to unlock achivements, but the single player makes up for it

OVERALL

Bloodshot is a solid tile that can be missed, its great!!!
