I've played a bit of the original game, and it fun, and really atmospheric and scary. Hopefully the second one will be even scarier.
A multiplayer could be really great.
Hopefully it isn't all but unplayable on SDTVs like the first one is (so fucking dark! T_T)

The original Condemned was pretty underrated at the launch of the 360 I thought. It was all PDZ this and Kameo that.
Multiplayer Condemned sounds like an interesting experience. The single player itself was really weird, with mostly melee attacks. Could be pretty cool online, and of course very graphic.

This was one of thr first games I bought after launch and I really loved it. Not perfect, but it was atmospheric as hell, and it truly looked like a next-gen game. The game isn't a typical FPS ... in fact, it's closer to a FPB - a first person brawler. Shooting things didn't happen very often. A lead pipe was always more effective.
I look forward to the second game, but multiplayer? Unless it's co-op, count me out.

Indeed, I STILL think that Condemned is the most under appreciated Next-Gen titles. T best part about a sequel is that theres so much to improve upon. this will be a great game, recognized or not. One of the Few games that MUST be played in the dark
I can't wait for this. The first was great. The only issue was that at times it could easily get repetitive. But overall, it was more than worth it, especially when the 360 lacked any great games.

As long as there's hobos doped up on smack for me to beat the crap out of, and mannequins following me in malls while I try to catch copycat killers, I'm buying this game.
Multiplayer would probably be something to try out for me now that I think about it. I doubt it would be something I'd be playing regularly on xbox live.
I hope they get Greg back to do the voice now he is on Heroes though.

That mannequin thing was brilliant.
The whole game was definitely underappreciated. Sequel should be just as good if not better.

criminal origins was the third game i bought for my 360 and it is still one of the best. easily one of my favorite titles on the system, possibly of all time. the whole atmosphere really drew me into the story like few games before it. oblivion made me feel powerful and all, but condemned gave me truly developed sense of character.
the whole game was brilliantly put together. the levels were so frightening i haven't been to a public library or mall since i played it. as a previous collegiate swimmer, the level with the pool personally scared the shit out of me, but that's prolly just me. not many games can lay claim to truly scaring me.
hopefully with all the quality revisions that seem to be taking place bloodshot will garner the attention that origins deserved. a revamped fighting mechanic will be awesome (i personally thought the first system worked well enough... you weren't supposed to be too overpowered anyway). hopefully multiplayer will elicit enough scary thrills to be worthwhile. place the deathmatch levels in areas from the game (with destroyable light sources) and i'm sure it will be the most hair-raising deathmatch experience any of us have ever played. can't wait!

I am a relatively-recent 360 owner, and I've played just the demo...from what I've heard, though, I hope the forensics and crime solving is a bit more open-ended and a bigger part of the game than what it seemed like in the first one. It would be cool (although maybe somewhat frustrating) to be on the wrong trail after misinterpreting a lead, or to be checking out a tip and running right smack into the guy you're after.
I agree that multiplayer is unnecessary...it's unfortunate that every action game thinks it needs a multiplayer emphasis now...you can't help but think that the mechanics and gameplay needed to have a decent multiplayer mode would bleed over into the single-player, making it actually worse. I, for one, am just fine with buying a game on the strength of its single-player...there are enough awesome multiplayer games out there to play, anyway.

demo suck compare to the full game, play it!!!
I love the department store stage, that was such nice enviroment for a survival horror. The only underrated launch title I can think of at the moment.

Condemned was fantastic. The atmosphere in the game really took it to a new level for me, and several points just had me scared pants-full. When the guy was in the locker, I knew it was coming, and it still scared three drops of piss out of me.
The problems were there, repetition, length, and sometimes wonky combat system. But the fact that I could pull a pipe off a wall, or the rail off the stairs was amazing. The story and backstory (if you unlocked all of it) painted a very interesting universe that I would like to see more of. I hope that Sega listens to the issues from the first and improves on it. I have no clue how multiplayer is going to work out, as I never ever gave that a thought during my playtime with the original. Also, it needs tits. Every game needs tits.

Definitely an under-rated game. Yeah, the fighting system sucks but playing this game at night in the dark is flat out scary. I can't wait for the sequel..
I don't know, I didn't think the combat system was bad. I thought it was a really good game. It had a very creepy atmosphere, I tried to play it at night with all the lights off, but that was a little much. The department store owned! Best launch title, etc etc etc...
Agree with the underrated calls. The graphics are still WOW. It's probably the scariest game I've played...the mannequin scene was scary as shit!
Condemned: Criminal Origins was one of my most pleasurable, and most memorable vid-vid game I have ever played. Loved the story line and beating things to shit was awesome. Hope the sequel doesn't suck.
The first game was absolutely amazing, and remains one of my faavorite games of all time. Yeah, I said that.
Looking forward to the sequel.

A sequel I'm actually excited about. The first one was too short and you can never beat too many junkies to death with a shovel.
The department store, the locker room and the house on the apple orchard _wrecked_ my sleeping schedule for a few nights. A great game.
Only complaint I have is the ending:
*SPOILER*
If you shoot the guy in the trunk, or let him live, you get the same ending either way. Thought that was pretty lame that they give you the illusion of choice but don't do anything with it.
*/SPOILER*
Other than that, great game.

I thought that condemned got too repetative and boring, started off really well.. but it just went down a steep hill into a pile of shit. Zero replayability for me.
I loved it.
Remember the teacher in the locker? Holy sweet zombified Jesus! By far THE scariest moment in all the videogames I've played. For some reason, just really got to me. Still kinda does thinking about it.
I loved the house level, and enjoyed fighting the Kali stick guys.

The atmosphere in the game was great, but the combat system definitely needed work. Hopefully they'll deliver it in the sequel.
