Condemned 2
- Thread starter blueshift
- Start date
Gotta agree with most, I loved the original and completed it many times.... but number 2 isn't doing it for me!
As someone mentioned above, the flashlight is useless in the game... you spend most your time struggling to see anything.
Definitely rent it first.

ive never found that?, you do know you can adjust the brightness in the options menu, to suit the kind of light your playing in, i jsut adjust it now and again depending on the time of day, or conditions im playing it in

personally i find smacking a crazed cheerleader round the head with a toilet seat, strangly satifying, i keep imagining , ive broken onto the set, of Tony Basil, while shes making that, Oh Mickey vid, for that horrendous song, and smacking her around the noggin, shouting, WHY?!, Goddamn you , why?
I'm really really not sure now. I think I'll probably like it but there are many confusing reviews and opinions of people who have the game it really does seem like a marmite sequel.
The only thing I can gather from everything I've seen is that it isn't all it could have been following on from the last one. At least you can get a full 1,000 achievements though

Its actually getting better now I;ve got further in... the first part was pretty poor and far too dark, sorry blueshift, but I shouldn't have to adjust my TV to be able to see the game. I adjusted it to that I could see the eyes (like the adjustment screen says) and it was far too dark... and the flashlight might aswell not be on it was that rubbish.
But its improving now, but at the moment, not as good as the original... but I was a huge fan of that, so chances are it wouldn't be AS good as that.

anyone wanna get online with me now? im playing ranked games of crime scene on farmhouse, look me up i got no one but laggy yanks to play with
I ordered Condemned: Criminal Origins from a video game place in Canada for about £18. I got sent the NTSC version of Condemned 2: Bloodshot instead. Oh well. I was going to get it anyway when it got down to £20 in price. LOL. I hope it's region free.

My Condemned 2 box and disc say NTSC but it is region free so plays fine. Looks like you got a good deal there. Especially as £18 for the first one is a rip off. You can get it for about £10 now.
People are saying it's too dark but IIRC the first Condemned game was also very dark in places, so much so I could only play at night, which IMO is when it should be played with the lights off and the surround sound cranked up. I wonder if this is the same or whether the problem still exists when playing C2 @ night? I'm still getting it whatever.
Yea, £18 is a rip off... and why ic1male, may I ask, where you gonna buy Condemned 1 from over the pond? I got the US Condemned 2 simply cos the usless relase date over here, but I would NEVER consider getting number 1 from state-side, especially when its much cheaper over here?!?!
And ROB, C2 is VERY dark in some places, worse than the original from what I remember, some room I can't see a thing regardless of the flashlight. Still a great game... not as good as the original imo though
Woah! Calmez-vous!
My reasoning is that I'm trying to build up a region-free game library and as far as I can determine, the PAL copy of Condemned 1 is region locked. That's why I went to Canada to get the US version which is region free. It was also a bit of a test to see how reliable the ordering/delivery was from this Canadian place as I'd never used them before and Condemned 1 was a cheap-ish game to test the waters with.
Fair enough, I guess I'll find out for myself when I get it. Just wish it was out this weekend and not next :/ Also, I wonder if it differs from tv to tv??
You could get it this weekend if you order it of a well known auction site... I got mine the day after I ordered it, and it was cheaper than the UK version!!!

hi
i would like your help to decide if i should get this game, i had condemned on the 360 but never got around to completing it as i lost the game save and could not be bothered to start over.
is it condemned 2 worth a purchase even if i did not complete the first , ive heard the second is not as scarey as the first but thats ok, ive also got some money receipts that are getting old and worn inside my wallet so i could use them towards the purchase.
should i get it?
cheers
