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.

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?!
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.
^ 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.
This game was given a rating of 8.5 by GameSpot! It even surpass the newly released Dark Sector which was rated 7.5. So for those who have ever trusted game reviewers, you know which one to use your bucks on.
If you like the 1st one. You will be crazy loving this sequel to it. A lot of secrets have been revealed on the story base and best of all, the combat systems have been tremendously evolved into a far better than just the usual melee or guns. It now involves combos and ... a little super power
So go get it and get yourself some FPS action rather than 3rd player GTA4
