    Very strange game, I'm all for horror. Love the genre but this is not horror, the start is more like something out of a mental asylum. Very weird, so weird to the point you think it's a bit stupid. The game actually made me want to stop playing it. I did persevere and have finished the game. Overall the story gets better and the evidence gathering sections are pretty Very strange game, I'm all for horror. Love the genre but this is not horror, the start is more like something out of a mental asylum. Very weird, so weird to the point you think it's a bit stupid. The game actually made me want to stop playing it. I did persevere and have finished the game. Overall the story gets better and the evidence gathering sections are pretty interesting. The fighting controls are average and using a gun is pointless, i found it easier to throw my guns at people to stun them and then close in to finish them in close combat. Overall this is not a spoiler, only a note to highlight how pathetic the early gun fights are, it only gets realistic when you get to semi automatics. Overall about 10-15 hours of gameplay which is ok but was not super impressed with the game. Having played FEAR on PC recently maybe I'm expecting too much but FEAR was a lot better, far more engrossing story. Again this is not so much horror as it is weird sci-fi on acid.… Expand

    Слабо, очень слабо. Первая часть была куда атмосферней и интересней, была триллером, тут же напихали qte, сделали подачу сюжета да и сам геймплей как в голливудском блокбастере, какие-то комбо с двумя руками, кривая стрельба (зачем-то убрали прицел, в первом части он был, при желании можно было скрыть), еще и производительность на пс3 хреновая, постоянно падения фпс, сама графика какая-тоСлабо, очень слабо.

Короче, проходняк полный, не знаю откуда такой высокий рейтинг.… Expand

    I enjoyed playing this game but i didn't got amazed or really scared. The forensic investigation part was nice, the plot was meh, some creatures were creepy but i honestly didn't really enjoyed the fighting mechanics. Still, it's kind of unique in horror games, but i'd still stick to survival horror games.

    I felt that the story for Condemned 2 was very bland and generic and Ethan was a very idiotic antagonist. The atmosphere of the game was too dark for my taste, and the horror lost way after you reach the last level. These comments aside, the game is very scary at times and the fighting was pretty decent. It was also graphically superior.

    Very nice Condemned, not as the first one, but very good.

    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.
