But I miss the tension of the original, just the same. To that end it performs very well, and even throws in some juicy plot twists and a cliffhanger ending. Condemned 2: Bloodshot has plenty of creepy moments, but it favors action over atmosphere. The 'Dark Watchers' are a cult of Demonic creatures with the purpose of controlling the world and turning it into there own personal living hell. The original Condemned scared me more than just about any other videogame. If you didnt understand the plot in the first Condemned game, heres everything you need to know. The Crime Scene mode is more creative - your team of agents must use scanners to locate hidden cases - but still not much fun. Almost every online game inevitably degenerates into members from one team ganging up on a single member of the other team. Unlike its predecessor, Bloodshot has various multiplayer modes, but the game's melee combat doesn't translate well to deathmatch. Is that gaping hole in a victim's back an entry wound or an exit wound? Is this the crime scene, or was the body moved? Pay attention to everything you see and hear, because there will be a quiz later. You don't have to simply find evidence: You have to examine it, interpret it, and make logical conclusions based on what you know. There is exactly one way to escape, and unless you get extremely lucky, you'll need several attempts to learn it.īloodshot's forensics, on the other hand, are quite clever. But that terror almost instantly turns to annoyance and frustration as you die repeatedly. The tension increases as you search the house, finding a smear of blood here, an arm or leg there, with the howls of that enormous thing drawing ever closer.īy the time an enormous bear finally crashes through the wall next to you, you're well and truly terrified. As you pick your way over the shredded remains of what used to be several police officers, you hear something bellowing from somewhere alarmingly nearby. The most blatant example of this takes place during a scene in a remote mountain lodge. This sequel combines mutated beasts, sewer-crawling, forensic investigation, and the fun of being an alcoholic with great atmosphere to create an incredibly dark, and. A room in the lodge shows photos of Oro devices and a few words written on the wall.Even if you ignore the differences in Ethan's character, it's tough to stay in the moment when a giant red "3.0x" pops up in the middle of the screen to let you know you've pulled off an effective combo.įurther ruining the atmosphere are several instances of annoying die-and-retry gameplay. Vanhorn took SKX here to nurse him back to health after his shot wound. If a player dies after the cutscene from the computer, if you have a gun drawn and one holstered, if you attempt to holster you will no longer be able to use the rifles or pistol and be forced to resort to melee fighting or die. After that, the lodge is destroyed by an explosion, never to be seen again. After a brief firefight, La Rue bursts into the side of the wall with a snowplow like vehicle. Shortly after Vanhorn mentions the Oro agents storm the room and shoot the computer. After he enters he learns slightly more of the Oro and his parents through use of Vanhorn's computer. After Ethan defuses all the charges, he uses Rosa's help to disarm the rest of the bomb. Many firearms are available in the level, most notably Assault Rifles and Riot Guns, as well as many alcoholic bottles are found and deer mounts to use their antlers as a weapon. Ethan then has to explore the lodge using his UV light to find the wires tracing the fuses to the bomb. Ethan is chased through many rooms by the bear until Ethan finds an unnamed agent (possibly dying) who helps him kill the bear using a shotgun and propane tanks.Īs Ethan then explores the rest of the lodge he has access to many weapons as agents are trying to break into Vanhorn's library using explosives. Ethan then explores more into the lodge and finds the agent as well as a large deranged and dehydrated grizzly bear. This horror-themed sequels thrilling set pieces and bloody combat are remarkably satisfying but not for the faint of heart. The beginning of the mission is started by finding the arm of an agent. It contains many rooms which are easy to get lost in and a living quarters. The lodge may have been abandoned long ago due to its awful condition. The Black Lake Lodge is a location featured in Condemned 2: Bloodshot.
