"a game that should be at least as frightening as the first one hopefully"
I found the first one to be immensively repetitive & boring, which is kinda sad for a "horror" game, especially when I'm involved. I'm scared in games that aren't even meant to be scary, yet Condemned, after the initial scare, didn't have any kind of effect on me, not to even mention the game was waaaay too short with literally no replay value and not even a decent multiplayer to help it. I just found the narrow corridors to be all but scary. At first I was scared, but then it just turned out to be the same from the beginning to the end & the enemies weren't scary at all. Even the more action packed Resident Evil 4 was scary for me, even though some think it's not frightening at all since the emphasis changed from horror to action.
So... Hopefully the second one is a lot MORE frightening than the first.
Played condemned: C.I.
Was one of scary games ever!!! even those shadowy demon illusions scares the crap out of me and those mannequins coming closer on screen ( damn scary moments i ever had)
So now ethan looks possesed like SKX (serial killer x) at the end etan turns demon at the end of story at restroom.

Yeah really. It's like they mapped the faces of real-life bums or something.
.....I'm pretty sure that's what they did....lmao. amazing. The real question is, are these photos of actual bums photoshopped in? or are they shots of guys at monolith with random "google bum" features cropped in as well? Very mysterious, indeed.....
i liked the first one, but the gameplay was a bit repetitiv.
thats not the case anymore, i read the ing interwiev, & it was very interesting read, it sems that they are working hard on the gameplay & opening the game more, with more variations. i also hope that the characters, will have better skin texters, & more face detals
I hope they make the melee combat better this time around, it was just Left Trigger LT LT LT LT alll the time, something along the lines of riddick would be great!
Im wondering how they are gonna tie investigation into the game now that he's of the the "demons" or bums. :D Will that Rose/Rosa woman still be on his side?

Wasn't condemned made by Japanese?
Nope.. Monolith. It was published by Sega though. They're doing a lot of western stuff now.
I thought the combat in Condemned was pretty nice.. but it could use a little tweaking. This is one game that's sorta been neglected in my back log for a long time. I've been on the last level since I put it down well.. not too long after I got my 360. :/
I should finish it. The department store. That was f'n bananas.
looking atthe artwork it seems like it's going to be frightening...but I gues it doesn't have to be... Some people do it in their pends while playing RE4...that one wasn't so frightening in my opinion :)

Well, I admit that the blocking was a little hard at first, but after you beat it a couple of times, it gets easier. It's genius because it's hard to master, but once you learn their animations, you can pretty much block anything with perfection. It's awesome. I have faith that Monolith will create another masterpiece. Condemned has to be the only launch titles I still play to this date.

Commented on 2007-06-08 04:33:50With all the slapdash multiplat survival-horror out there, Konami can't announce the PS3-exclusive Silent Hill 5 soon enough. ^__^
Well, here's hoping...
