PSX Extreme writes: "Sega's Condemned games aren't like most standard FPS games. As opposed to just being a run-and-gun affair, developer Monolith has implemented a whole melee system that deals with fists and objects, but fire power is included too. Picking up a year after the events of the first game, you reprise the role of Ethan Thomas, who has receded into a depression coupled with alcoholism and homelessness. His former FBI-SCU co-workers are trying to find him, as once again a paranormal occurrence is sweeping the city.
As mentioned before, this isn't your typical FPS game. Condemned 2 places a focus on melee combat, as opposed to excessive use of weaponry. There is a whole combo system that deals with timing and parrying, as correct actions will trigger a timed-meter, and if you pull of the maneuver correctly, you will successfully perform the attack against your opponent. If you mess up, you'll be left vulnerable, giving your attacker the chance to strike you."
