Condemned 2 dropps you off as Ethen. A mean alcoholic agent of sorts who looks like a photo copy of the new Sam Fisher. CONSPIRASY??? I'm not sure, but what i do know is that the story of this game is probably the weakest element. The game starts out with you chasing down a killer during a riot caused by by machines that let out a sound that causes people to go berserk. It gets weirder from there, and ends with you getting a super power, so i'll spare you the details of the story except for that IT WASN'T SCARY AT ALL! If you're expecting a F.E.A.R like expeirience that will cause you to soil yourself every time the lights flicker then GO PLAY F.E.A.R. This game doesn't even give you any cheap gross outs (maybe it's because we're already decensetized to far.)
Graphically the game is solid. Nothing to really prais or crucify the game for there. It gives you what you would expect from a game nowadays.
The game play is a mixed bag. The melle combat is fun, interesting, and once you get used to it EXTREMLY EASY! The shooding is what's to be expected, aim for the head, and they go down in one shot (getting wasted to increase acuracy is a fun novelty, though) The detective side missions are fun, and innovative, although sometimes expect you to know more about the inteworkings of a doll factory than you're opt to. An annoying part of gameplay is the whole entanna deal. I mean it just isn't worth it. The only reason to do it is for powerups, and it slows the pace of the game down so much to make sure that you found everything.

We all know that the first game was a sleeper hit. It scared the crap out of us and really brought a new meaning to FPS suspense. Condemned 2 not only brings that all back but it adds much more to the table. Check it ... Read Full Review
