What u do May 9, 2008
Running around as a drunk; shootin and beating the hell out of everything in sight.
 Even better than the first one April 18, 2008
If you like Condemned: Criminal Origins, then you will like this one too. Bloodshot has the same errie and unsettling environments, and spooky special effects to compliment the mood.
The story in Bloodshot is directly related to where Criminal Origins left off. Bloodshot develeops Ethan Thomas even more so, and we learn about his past, and his relationship with Malcom.
The fighting mechanics are vastly improved. now there are stage fatalities, combos, and slow motion fist fights that let you see every bone being broken. Another improvement in the mechanics is that you control each fist seperatly, and you can carry multiple items. but the last one is one of the many upgrades you can now earn, depending on how well you do in each stage.
i highly recomand this series to anyone who enjoys the horror genre games.
Awesome game April 11, 2008
This game achieved creepy and exciting at the same time. The graphics were great, the plot line directly linked to the last game. More thugs to bash and more demons to kill. New weapons to go with the old ones and some main bosses that give you a challenge throughout the game. The only downside to the game is that it is constantly dark. It gives you the option to change the lighting in the options menu, I suggest you do so, I strained to see most of the time and some of the demons are pure black and will kick the stuffing out of you if you don't see them right away. All in all this game was great, I reccomend this to anyone.
 Three & A Half For Some Great Levels March 28, 2008

I loved the first game very much. The reality factor played a huge part in keeping the tension up; This time around we have some of those elements, along with an odd mix of semi-sci-fi elements, as well as other genres that don't always quite mesh. One minute it is like Silent Hill, the next has textures and sites similar to Gears of War. Not that there's anything wrong w/that I guess. And this is a beautiful looking game; Some levels really stand out. I especially enjoyed the Bowling Alley and the hallucinations in the Hospital. But the lodge level had such great potential for creepy things, and all you did was defuse bombs and shoot swat guys like some Tom Clancy game. There was one surprise on that level that was cool, but otherwise..Also, the same went with the magician's lair...so much cool potential, but just a so-so boss fight similar to Bioshock. Gone, for the most part, is the feeling of dread in a sort of Manuhunt kind of way... Not to say there aren't some heart-pounding moments, however. And while the forensics are more evolved and enjoyable this time, I didn't find turning cranks to destroy orbs for 10 minutes really all that fun. Or in line with what I thought the Condemned series was about. I appreciate games trying new things, but I think some of the plot threads and locations were misfires. I would also have to say when it was over, I was happy to move on to something hopefully more...um...fun. I guess I was just hoping for more of the same, only better.
 Over Rated.. March 23, 2008

Although it at least attempts to be creepy (unlike other games for whatever reason) this game is average at best. Im amazed at some of the reviews it has received. The graphics arent good and its even disguised because its constantly dark so perhaps the average gamer could overlook this issue. On the cover you see a peep hole and this is the spectrum of visibility you get throughout this game. Things will attack you many times and you will struggle to find them. Even when you find the enemy you can barely see them in many situations. The flashlight is optional (you can turn it off and on) and Im not sure why. I have a 40inch 1080p TV running this game direct from the 360 at 1080i. What really gave me distaste was the area where they opted to use the "brain" to further blur and distort the view you are seeing. Send crazy glasses with the game if you want to make people struggle to see what they are doing. Their approach just doesnt enhance the fear the game is supposed to bring because of the annoyance and the writings on the wall are cheesy.
All in all they bring a lot of the same back from the first - same fighting instruments, etc. The manequins that follow you are back as well.
Pros
1. Combos
2. No other games seem to be able to produce creepy.
3. Invesigations add puzzles to a 1P shooter.
Cons
1. Frame rate issues.
2. Poor graphics disguised by dark (jumpy, etc.).
3. Very repetitive - definitely not open ended.
4. Its a repeat of the first with minor updates.
