bit-tech Review
"When you get right down to it, these are all minor concerns at best and Condemned 2: Bloodshot really is an excellent game that flies in the face of common game design and thrives off what makes it different. At a time when everyone else is making open-ended, sandbox games all about huge gunfights and so on, Monolith has made a fantastically scary and enthralling game which makes a point out of being linear and claustrophobic.
The level of blood and guts is sure to scare many people away, but there’s an audience for that stuff too and it’s that gore-loving crowd which will perhaps love Condemned 2 the most, though beneath the surface there’s actually something for everyone.
At times puzzling and at others utterly pant-filling, Condemned 2: Bloodshot will shred your nerves, baffle your brain and exercise your sweat glands all in turn, making it clearly one of the most accomplished survival horror games we’ve ever played despite the uncomfortable multiplayer. Forget the flaws, dim the lights and up the volume for something that we can, unfortunately, only describe as 'pant-cackingly scary'." - 10th April 2008

Time with product: 4 Months
Strengths: (1) Fun and unique first person melee combat (2) Great graphics and genuinely creepy atmosphere (3) Many improvements over first game
Weaknesses: (1) Ignore the multiplayer (2) Some may find it too short
Summary: Condemned 2: Bloodshot is an even better sequel to what was a unique and well-done launch title for the XBOX 360. The graphics have been improved, making the enemies and environments even scarier. The combat is now more satisfying and nuanced as you have more options for fighting and finishing foes off using the environment. The crime scene investigations have also been improved to provide more of an intellectual challenge than the simple sequences presented in the first game. The story does a good job of tying to the first game without leaving those who have not played the first entry in the dark. The sound effects and musics are perfect for the creepy atmosphere and provide much of the frights themselves. This is a very well-done game for those who are seeking a brutal entry in the horror genre.

Strengths: very gruesome, variety of weapons, graphics
Weaknesses: multiplayer, auto-save
Summary: If you enjoyed the first game you?ll enjoy this one. The game resembles manhunt in many ways, which I think is a good thing. The combat is very gruesome and there are lots of weapons for you to dish out damage. The story itself gets very weird near the end of the game. The first part of it was fine and dark, but it starts getting a little too unbelievable as it nears the end. The multiplayer feels like it was tacked on. I enjoyed the game and recommend it to others.

Time with product: 2 Weeks
Strengths: Scary atmosphere. Good graphics. Tense action.
Weaknesses: Multiplayer is worthless. Poorly conceived story.
Summary: Condemned 2 is a greta game in the tradition of the horror genre. However, while from a horror action perspective it's perfect, everything else is kinda poor. The story doesn't make sense and seems more an excuse to explain all the wierd happenings in the game. Also, the addition of multiplayer was a mistake. Ultimately, get the game, maybe a rental, and play through it. it's definatly worth playing.

Strengths: + Improved graphics visuals+ Sound+Moody/Creepy Atmosphere +Weapon variety +Shock Value +Violence+Smarter AI +New fight mechanics
Weaknesses: -Multiplayer (not full potential) -Not for children-Compelling but Confusing story-Fairly short-Low replay value
Summary: Condemned 2: Bloodshot takes place after the events of Condemned. Players do not necessarily need to play the original as the storyline is fairly straightforward. Gamers play as Ethan Thomas as he is called in to assist in a major crime investigation. Those that enjoyed Condemned will be happy to know the sequel has improved on almost every aspect of the original. Bloodshot definitely feels creepier. Graphics from characters to background settings look frightening good. The sound effects/music in the game does a wonderful job of creating a moody and creepy atmosphere. Gameplay has also improved. There are more weapons in Bloodshot, and new methods to defeat foes. Bloodshot is not without its faults. The storyline can get confusing at times. Gamers may also find the game to be fairly short. There is a multiplayer mode in Bloodshot, but the mode is not very engaging. Bloodshot can be completed fairly quickly and there is not much replay value. Be warned this game is not for little children or does that scary easily. If you do not fall into either of those categories then Bloodshot is a great game that is highly recommended.
