I tried several times to get through the story, but I'd always seemingly give up as I never understood the parry system too well. I eventually got a hang of the mechanics and beat the game. The levels that actually required you to shoot through them were hands down some of the weakest points and actually some of the weakest in terms of the Monolith engine itself. But everything else, the eerie horror, melee and 'occasional', gunfight and ambience was generally great. This game has never once left my mind. Steam grab this title please!

Best thing about Condemned 2 was the online multiplayer. Cops vs Bums, Crime Scene stuff. It was 2 cops vs 6 bums if I remember correctly. You could pick your starting weapons and masks, and then it was a race to hide crime scene evidence and all that, survive the time limit. Was the first real "horror" multiplayer vs. experience you could get where your job was to scare the other team.

[@CarvedStones]

The 2 cops vs 6 bums was actually bum rush. Crime Scene was a 4v4 affair though. It was fun though.

[@ryan-paxton]

@@CarvedStones oh yeaaaah. I remember 4 cops was a complete joke.

[@CarvedStones]

@@ryan-paxton It depends, if the cop team had a good unit and knew how to shoot with the pump action or pistol, they were a force to be reckoned with. Especially if they are together like a nun’s knees. The best thing the bums could do is use molotovs on them or try to catch them off guard and make them split so you can ambush them. Like putting the evidence in one way rooms or in a long narrow one way corner. It helps a lot.

[@ryan-paxton]

@@CarvedStones if they split on approach, 2 from the attic and 2 from the basement they'd be unstoppable. Good times, though. Wish there was a way to play it with ppl these days. Unique, spooky multilayer experience.

[@CarvedStones]

@@ryan-paxton Sometimes that works sometimes that doesn’t. Remember that one person from the cop team has to act as the scanner and when you pull that out you can’t fight back at all. This leave the other people acting as the point man and rear. It really depends on how coordinated both teams are. I wish the multiplayer was better supported. Supposedly there was gonna be DLC for the multiplayer but they decided against it since they knew it wouldn’t pop off. Really underrated.

Nothing in this world has provided me with such fear like walking through any level of this game. I still have PTSD from the bear chase especially because I grew up seeing them in my backyard often.

Top 3 of my all time favorite games. I hadn't played C1 before this, and I loved it! Great game!

Great review, though I've heard the same thing in reviews since this game was new about the big reveal. Ethan's ability and the cult were already spelled out in the first game, but it was subtle, you had to have been paying close attention, or read the unlockable files in the menu. In the first game there's a scene you can't miss where Rosa shows you the documents about Ethan's body, and the unlockable files detail the history of the cult and past killers who were associated with them.

I always loved this series. Very underrated and I would love to see a new one

I always thought it was a crying shame that this never got a proper PC release.

I'm mad to this day.

I hope this game comes to PC Some day. The multiplayer was truly something frightening, and fun as hell.

Underrated game I loved the atmosphere… Very dark and mysterious with a sense of quirkiness. I wish they came back with this for a part 3 with advanced combat. It had a number of great moments. The bear scene was excellent with a supporting character trying to help you but doesn’t last too long himself. I also found that factory girl creepy.
