Condemned: Bloodshot - 1st Impression

Post by matt_mr2t »

Been playing this for a few days now (360)

It is xxxx scary. Every thing seems to be very dark and you are constantly waiting for something to happen.

It's insanely violent, there's not alot of one punch/hit kills here. More often than not you have to seriously beat the bad guys to a bloody pulp then ram their heads through something to finish them off.

I've barely got into it for the plot but as with the first, it keeps you guessing. I had to complete the first stage before any story even really started!

Play it in the dark, play it with the surround sound turned up loud.
Enjoy the constant goosebumps and hairs on end :thumleft:

Oh and no bugs to report yet either.

Only downside so far is that Ethan Thomas isnt voiced by Matt Parkman this time.

Trust me, do it.

If you half liked the 1st one this one is a must have. It's so much scarier too.

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to play this one.

The first one made me feel sick playing it. It must be something to do with the dark visuals with everything viewed with the torch.
I can't explain it but after around half an hour or so I feel I could chuck up big time.

It starts slowly and aimlessly then builds up more.

Played the demo ...

What a load of Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

As bad as the first one, slow plodding gameplay, utterly predicatable game play to the point you can say " i bet I am going to get attacked from behind now" with that ... bash!

Whats with all the black goo running down the walls.

Graphics are pap, dont utilise the true capability of the 360.

Player gets caught on everything, making walking around difficult.

Judging by the first one the story probably wont be any good.

Slow tedious combat.

I hated the first one, the only cool bit was the old house and you had to follow the writing - the rest of it was tosh. Dull empty room followed by dull empty room.
