Slim Down for Summer with That's Fit

Video: Condemned 2 goes "twhack!"

IGN scored two twenty second videos that show off Condemned 2: Bloodshot's fighting system and although they're brief, they give us our first sample of actual gameplay to date. And after watching both clips, we're (for whatever reason) left a bit underwhelmed. Maybe we expected less "clunky" animations, maybe we expected something different from Bloodshot or maybe we're just having a crappy Saturday, but something feels off. Take a look at both clips for yourself after the jump (seeing that IGN's embed code doesn't work for some reason) and tell us what you're impressions are of the hand to hand combat. Hopefully our issues with these clips can be attributed to our craptacular Saturday mood, because we want Bloodshot to be good. Oh how bad we want it to be good.

Same here, although those are from the multiplayer, which we all know will just boil down to people running around in circles trying to hit each-other moving forward and back all the time, the SP will be awesome,

adding multiplayer doesn't make up for no Greg Grunberg.

See, I'm glad they got rid of Greg Grunberg. I'm sure hes a grrreat actor but he didn't fit in the condemned world.

The character itself, didn't fit. He was too friendly, to much of a nice guy. He was brutally murdering people throughout the game but you got the impression he was this friendly, happy cop.

The new one, is much darker, he fits the world much better..in my opinion.

OT:
The multiplayer means little to me, i just hope the single player has more replay.

Yeah, I could really care less about multiplayer... as long as the single player mode is solid, I'm good to go.

The multiplayer looks so so, I mean with a fighting system like condemmend, you can expect vast maps and masses of fire power, more close combat kills.

the fight reminded me of Oblivion, which was kinda cool. It would be awesome to have a co-op single player, you could be discuss whats going on and solve the crime.

I'm still looking forward to this game very much.

I think after a year of great games, the expectation for this one to live up to the rest of the games that have come out are just too high.
