    This is really horrible. I do not want to play this game. I'm glad i borrowed it before playing. Now I'm recommending that everyone save their money and don't bother buy it. Truly awful. It is boring, tawdry, and the story is so derivative. The acting is third-rate, amateurish. The effects look like they were drawn using crayon. A piece of godawful trash.

    Some recipes in Condemned 2 seemed successful at first glance but then they were spammed to death and lost any sense of suspense or excitement. Everything in this game hits level 11 and stays there. Subtleties are lost when the environment is gritty and 'tense' the entire time. Without moments of peace, the tenseness loses its power. Same with the soundtrack. At first I thought theSome recipes in Condemned 2 seemed successful at first glance but then they were spammed to death and lost any sense of suspense or excitement. Everything in this game hits level 11 and stays there. Subtleties are lost when the environment is gritty and 'tense' the entire time. Without moments of peace, the tenseness loses its power. Same with the soundtrack. At first I thought the disorienting noise and atmospheric sound was this game's strong suit but it highlights nothing. There is no hierarchy of drama, just consistent symbols of horror. It points at horror without ever unfolding as one. I appreciate the slight pushes to sensory overload with the tricky visuals and sound but it doesn't quite get there. Great ideas just poorly executed.… Expand

    Positives: those who love violence for the sake of violence will love it. Okay graphics (when you can see them). Negatives: 1. On the PS3 - awful sound; 2. Too dark to be able to see what you are doing most of the time which makes for an incredibly frustrating gaming experience; 3. Absurd story line, which makes no sense. 4. Almost impossible to fight more than one enemy at a time. 5. Positives: those who love violence for the sake of violence will love it. Okay graphics (when you can see them). Negatives: 1.

Almost impossible to fight more than one enemy at a time. 5. Controls are so limited, you cannot even jump or climb over things. Combat becomes very repetitive. 6. The game has become far too fantastical. Conclusion: If you have played the Half Life series or Bioshock, I suspect you will find this a very limited FPS. 6. Ending is anti-climatic.… Expand

    This is Prince of Persia 2 all over again. They took a stellar franchise and turned it into some "badass" piece of mindless trash. Do NOT buy in.

    This is the first proper horror experience on PS3 and it's a truly terrifying one. Whether it's a set-piece scare or a random hobo jumping out at you, it genuinely can make you jump out of your seat. [Mar 2008, p.90]

    If you're on the trail of a first-class scare, this truly terrifying game is unmissable. [Mar 2008, p.103]

    Probably the best survival horror title we’ve seen this generation. The online multiplayer modes aren’t going to blow your mind, but they are a thoughtful addition. It’s got a higher level of action than its predecessor, and some gorgeous horror backdrops.
