YES NO The game starts with such a bang that it's hard to imagine where it could go to top the opening. It looks great, plays well and the atmosphere is downright creepy.
This level is exactly what you'd want out of a Condemned game. Crazy liquid goblins emerge from the oil to attack you - some pop out of walls while others drop down from the ceiling. No more than a few minutes into the game you find yourself in an alternate version of the city covered in a shiny oil-like substance. The game doesn't wait long to start upping the shock factor. After a quick combat tutorial, your first task is to track down a man that looks to be Malcolm Vanhorn, an old friend from the first Condemned game. This is where the twisted adventure begins. After another bar patron gives Ethan a little wink on the way out, our hero proceeds to beat the snot out of him and winds up getting tossed out on the street. Things have not gone well in the year since he left the force. The game opens with Ethan Thomas crushing pills and hallucinating in a dive bar, a shell of his former self. Right from the start, you can tell that Monolith is upping the ante for Condemned 2 in every way. This is a game that addresses every criticism of the first title and then ratchets the intensity up to 11.
The sequel quite literally pulls no punches.
Guns were an afterthought - to survive you had to use whatever blunt object you could find.
