ok here goes.
i didn't like the camera effects to intro the hallucinations, i thought it was overdone, made certain parts hard to explore.
some of the voice work was spot on hillarious
i have said multiple times that few games do atmosphere like the condemned series, no other game ( maybe f.e.a.r. ) had me checking every corner like some kind of paranoid obsessive complusive
come on how many games give you the chance to had out some justice with a bowling ball, shovel, baseball bat, prosthetic arm, or a flat out brick?
graphics were good, not gears of war but still good.
the forensics bits have been extended this time but i still feel it wasn't enough.
there is a sense of realism that i like in my games. i actually felt guilty for a while when i took a shotgun to a crackhead, and he crumbled to the floor with a sad little whimper.
the little chain attack deal is a cute little gimmick. i found myself looking forward to unleashing some bad intentions on baddies wandering by them selves.

all together i would give it a strong 8.5 out of ten. worth at least a rent if your a fan of the first game.
