I got about 30 mins of play on this yesterday, and it hasn't really gripped me yet. I have no idea what is going on. I don't understand who is who, and why there are loads of blokes that look the same trying to kill me.
I was hoping it would start off a bit more normal and then slowly get weird. When does the crime scene stuff start?

I think monolith would assume you played the first, Van Horn (the dude in the mac) was in number 1 and was an allie to ethan when he was accused of murders he never did. He obviously then was not a cop anymore and was on the run, but trying to find the real murderer.
I've only just started number 2, but it looks like its all going pear shaped for Ethan again. I doubt the crime scene stuff will come into play just yet... seeing as ethan is not a official cop yet.
I would still advise you play the first, cos so far I have no probs understanding the game... but I did complete the original several times! Althought that was a while back, and the story is a bit bit blurry for me, but it will come back to me in time!

get the first one, this one imo goes overboard on the wierd-factoir the first did a better job of blurring realities and steadily getting darker and darker. This ones a great game as ive said earlier, but the first game was a lot better
Im about to download it. Whats bad about it before i do? Liked the original demo albeit being short.
I thought it was good to be honest, damn creepy too.
Though the combat was a bit fiddly.
Pretty much what I thought too, cumbersome fighting system at times though.

or really REALLY strong drugs
Yeah i agree its more "monsters with bats" than "society gone bad"
I prefered the first however im on playthrough number 3 now and ive put in a good amount of online play too so cant be all bad!

3rd time? Jeesh, I can hardly ever play a game through more than once. I get bored with pretty much any game before I am finished with it, and hardly ever used to even finish a game. Though that was on PC.
Even as recently as COD4 (PC). Had to re-install, and just haven't bothered playing through to the end again.
I am better on the console with finishing games though... in just over a month have finished the darkness, the suffering, gears of war, and lost planet. This weekend I might finish crackdown, silent hill 4 and bully
Edit: am getting used to fps on console now, so might pick Condemned 2 up for it - after have played through the first one again on PC. Was a brilliant game, and hopefully as its been a while it will be just as creepy as the first time (shivers remembering the mannequins)

personally i think its nowhere the same calbiur as the 1st game
I agree, really disappointed with this, they've ruined it. It has no atmosphere or creepy music that the first had, the combat feels clunky, its far too dark on every level i've played..trading this in sharpish.
Edge got it right with their 5/10. average / poor game.
Had a go of this earlier today. 'fraid to say that it won't be on my buy list for a long time.
Condemned still remains one of my fave games ever, thankfully I'm still keeping a good memory of it as this would have wiped that clear.
Only hope now is Alone in the Dark but until then, Condemned remains THE best horror game of any console.
