The previous Condemned was pretty much a little above mediocre but for games with a horror theme on it, Condemned is definitely one of the top ones on the list.
Some of the really bad stuff about the first Condemned game was i think the melee weapons where you have to step back and evade the hit and then move forward to deal the damage. Kind of really creep out the whole way of playing it. The range of weapons is of course really nice where it comes from all over you ranging from steel pipes to fireaxes and not forgetting, firearms.
And best of all, Condemned 2 has did a lot of improvement to the game and i must say i am really impressed but what i am seeing on the gameplay perspective of it. Combos?! Surrounding finishing moves?! More detailed forensic actions?! Multiplayer modes?! I havent even mentioned those horror moments inside it yet!

I am not sure about your taste for horror games (Fatal Frame 2 still lingers somewhere in my mind), but i must say this, Condemned 2 has really caught my attention and i am certainly impressed by it.

Ba .. the horror elements are still illusions , nothing real . Now we need serious horror titles on the 360 , like Fatal Frame , RE , SH and Alone in the Dark .
Still , it doesn't mean Condemned 2 doesn't look good . I wanna boost the 1st one , but its not my copy

So far i think the most horrific game i ever played was Fatal Frame 2. Scared the hell out of me. The 1st and the Fatal Frames after that was plain cheesy
About Condemned, i think it is not really pure horror but more to the creepiness and the surprise element inside it. Still remember how the radio beeps in Silent Hill 1?!

Speaking of Alone in the Dark, has anyone of you seen the latest tech demo? Looks pretty cool eh, it's like Mac Gyver with creepy monster!

What?! You've gotta be kiddin' me. Condemned was great.
The game was great in a certain of time but it wasn't so good until I want to play it a second time. Graphic was nice but just didn't live up to my expectation. The character sucks btw way, except for the Serial Killer X ... he was awesome.
condemned was one of the early title for 360 so it was like 3 years back game title and i assume some of you guys compare it with current game? well, thats unfair. it was great at that time, at least for me.
again, the first game creep me out with its atmosphere and sound effect. I finished the game with audio turned off most of the time
will definately get this game once it released since it has MP mode and it should be fun to whack each other or rip someone's arm off since we nvr do this in reallife (i assume again)

agree with you.
just started playing the game last 2 weeks. now the graphics/gameplay is meh, but of course 3 years ago it mustave been great
Anybody got a number of when this game is going to be released?! The Asia version i mean. The NTSC version is already out and it seems like it is region free but i doubt anyone would import a game at such a high price. Is there even an Asian released planned?!
Heard the early reviews from the other side and it seems like this game is not just better than the previous. It is a totally different experience (now with MP and all) than the 1st.

This game was fun for me on the xbox360...damn good suprises!!! Cant wait for the game to come out....
^ That is so f***ing awesome! I just cant wait to release those stylish combos on the enemy. And best of all, the graphics seems to be so much nicer than the previous (Duh!@$) You can even grab things like rocks and bottles to throw at the enemy! Who wants to play dodgeball?!
Seems like they focus a lot on MP rather than the SP mode. Just hope that they clear up some un-explained in the 1st game.
