Condemned 2 announced, with multiplayer, for PS3 and Xbox 360
Lock your doors and turn off all the lights. Sega has announced that a sequel to Monolith's Condemned is coming early 2008 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. (There is no mention of a PC version in the press release.)
In Condemned 2: Bloodshot, you reprise your role as former investigator Ethan Thomas as he is called back to duty to find his missing partner. According to the press release, the game boasts an all-new fighting system that incorporates defensive and offensive combos, grapples and holds, as well as an "all-new set of high-tech forensic tools."
Most interesting is the addition of online multiplayer, including a deathmatch mode, among others. Sega promises "the most brutal hand-to-hand combat experience the first person genre has ever seen." The original Condemned, a launch title for the Xbox 360 now available at bargain prices, was generally well-received by critics (including us).
