SEGA of America and SEGA Europe today announced Condemned 2: Bloodshot
the next chapter in the terrifying series that began with the award-
winning and critically-acclaimed Condemned. Featuring an all-new
fighting mechanic and online multiplayer functionality, Condemned 2:
Bloodshot is a first-person action thriller which immerses players in
a world of psychological terror. Following a string of gruesome
murders, players must use their deductive skills and brute force to
track down sadistic serial killers.

Developed by the renowned Monolith Productions, creators of the
original Condemned, Condemned 2: Bloodshot is due for release across
Europe in early 2008 for the Xbox 360â„¢ videogame and entertainment
from Microsoft and PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system.

Players will assume the identity of Ethan Thomas, the former Serial
Crimes Unit investigator, who's been called back to duty to track down
his missing partner. As Ethan, players will engage in visceral combat
using a variety of firearms, blunt instruments and an all-new fighting
system complete with defensive and offensive combo chains. To help
track the killer and solve the mysteries behind Condemned 2:
Bloodshot, players will crack open an all-new set of high-tech
forensic tools. Using wits and brute strength, murders can be solved
in a number of different ways to keep players guessing throughout each
suspenseful investigation.

Condemned 2: Bloodshottakes the series to a whole new level by
introducing a variety of thrilling online multiplayer modes including
deathmatch, which promises to deliver the most brutal hand-to-hand
combat experience the first person genre has ever seen.

"The original, Condemned, was a game which truly shocked and scared
its players with its subtle details, gripping story and eerie tension
throughout," said Gary Knight, European Marketing Director, SEGA
Europe. "Condemned 2: Bloodshot takes these three key elements to
heightened new levels, providing a superb mature gaming experience
that will constantly surprise its players and keep them gripped from
start to finish."

The disturbing events from Ethan's past have left him a broken man - a
desperate burnout, drifting aimlessly through a society in
inexplicable decline. Fighting inner demons throughout his one-man
investigation into a sinister conspiracy, Ethan will need to use
anything and everything in the environment to survive as he unravels
the mysteries shrouding the city in darkness.

I just finished Condemned last night.

Okay game play, crappy story line. The timing for blocking blows was
difficult to get down. Top notch at scaring the bejesus out of you
though.

Not as good as The Suffering, but a worthy effort.

Overall, I'm looking forward to the sequel.
