Figured I would revive this thread since I was enjoying it in the old one.

If anybody wants to play Halo 3, Gears of War or Frontlines: Fuel of War with me, my gamertag is the same as my name here.

Well, I picked up Condemned 2 Friday night, and I've had quite a bit of fun with it. The multiplayer was surprisingly fun and hilarious (in Crime Scene mode at least).
I was, however, a bit disapointed with the single player. The new combat system and everything was great, and the locales which the game takes place in are more unique than ever. But it honestly felt like I was playing something else besides Condemned. The "new" Ethan Thomas doesn't feel anything like the old character at all, and while I realize that's kind of the point, I really felt like I was playing as a new character. The story was OK, it certainly fleshed out the plot a bit more than the first one did, but it also really lacked direction, which the first one had.
Another big disapointment I had with the single player was the fact that I didn't find it scary. One of the highlights of Condemned is how it scares you with suspense and shocks. Maybe it's just because I'm used to Condemned's style of horror, or maybe it's because I was only 14 when I played Condemned 1, but there were absolutely no moments in the game where I was truly scared. Creeped out, yes, but never scared. And this is while playing on Hard, alone, with the lights off, in a silent apartment, at midnight, with everyone else in the apartment asleep. That is definitely my biggest gripe about Condemned. It had plenty of eeriness and uncomfortableness, but it lacked the horror and suspense the first one had.
Overall I'm happy with Condemned 2, but it's not the same game I enjoyed so much back in 2004.
