Condemned 2: Bloodshot Review: Skid Row's Greatest Hits
Sega and Monolith bring first-person serial killer hunting fun back to consoles in Condemned 2: Bloodshot. Anti-hero cop Ethan Thomas is back on the streets—literally, he's pretty much a homeless drunk—and ready to punch out droves of insane bums, vagrants and derelicts. The star of Condemned: Criminal Origins returns filthier and boozier than before, this time as an overly grizzled ex-member of the Special Crimes Unit. He's on the hunt for another killer, one who has ties to his previous prey. Monolith looks to have paid close attention to the criticisms heaped upon the first Condemned, tightening up level design, adding online multiplayer and addressing the original's monotonous combat.

Condemned 2 Demo Impressions
"When you're in a fight, shit's flying everywhere," explains Condemned 2: Bloodshot producer Constantine Hantzopoulos. He's walking us through a level, chucking some dude's head into TV set and snapping another dude's neck. SEGA's calling it an "environmental fighting game" — meaning that much like a Hong Kong flick, almost everything in-game can be used as a weapon, and everything can be destroyed. "It's visceral in-your-face action," Hantzopoulos says as he rips apart a dog's jaws. The game still features evidence collecting and puzzles, which are a step up from the prequel's. "Condemned had lame puzzles, and we knew it," he adds. What's new? Condemned 2: Bloodshot has a flight club style mode in which you brawl with a never-ending stream of minions. Weapons from battle axes to handguns are available for the blood sport. It's violent and relentless with sometimes two enemies attacking at once. Condemned 2: Bloodshot starts busting heads and killing dogs next Spring on the PS3 and the Xbox 360.
