Actually, I enjoyed it as well, but I felt the plot really went south.

Man I don't see why people talk crap about that game.
It was awesome the way they told the story and had you guessing was great.
I don't know where the story went south.
Maybe I should pick it up again?

I'm glad he pointed out the fact that the original Condemned was an excellent game.

I loved how Condemned 2 turned out, it was genius, and a nice commentary of what is happening in this country right now.

SPOILERS
So Sonic emitters on the walls are making people go crazy and its up to a hero with a special voicebox to emit high frequency waves to set things right?

I really did enjoy the combat improvements over the first Condemned. I also liked being able to chuck weapons at enemies. I liked having access to the investigation tools at any time as well. The only thing I missed was the recharging stun gun which I used a LOT more in the first Condemned than I did on the new title.
I was impressed with the game overall but that story and everything he recaps about the end of the game is spot on.

Totally nails the Indigo Prophecy syndrome. I loved that game up until the story started going bat-shit insane. I kept playingtill the end in hopes of the story coming through but instead we get a ridiculous, Matrix style, introspective/robo dumbassery party.

I loved the first game - was an early 360 game of next gen quality. So far the game is... ok. Not as tense and the combos are a little annoying vs. the raw, visceral appeal of the first game. The biggest improvement through the first few levels is the improved forensics.
