When you coming on the heels of the death, light is the enemy, the darkness - an ally ... The man fled headlong down a long empty corridor, it was too little time to think. But the dim light bulbs - the light, which has always lacked - now ruthlessly blinded, frightening, confusing. Behind the stairs muffled knocking the soles of heavy shoes, the pursuer has been raised on the floor, and from vybivsheysya of forces separated the victims of his twenty meters, not more. Salvage door was even closer. Two turns of the key, squeak unlubricated loops, click the lock ... the case for small - to collect firmly entrenched in the memory of the phone number is likely to convey information to the right person ...
Pistol shot was heard in silence poluzaselennogo home rumblings.
Unfinished nightmare Final original Condemned demanded continuation of every drop of blood spilled. Too many questions have not received a clear answer, and draw the game simply oblige developers and publishers once again take up the matter - dust off pretty descended Ethan Thomas, to return to TV screens by his colleagues and the public to submit new villains. The latter, incidentally, is no longer willing to be mediocre serial killers: the activities of the enemies in Bloodshot has found a completely different scale. Their goal is not an example of a global, techniques - sophisticated, and Metro City, formerly seemed almost center of the universe, the second part of a plan of the writers, it becomes merely a starting point in the struggle for world domination conspiracy. One gets the impression that a thoroughbred thriller in the spirit of "Silence of the Lambs" conceived interbreed with something from the category of "The X-Files," with all the attendant. Merits are obvious: an already dashing and bloody mix of suspense and detective mysteries infused conspiracy theory, significantly expanding the field of action for the characters. Disadvantages are felt around the middle: the plot is too heavy, oversaturated enough disparate elements and, ultimately, deprived of the integrity that won over to the Condemned. In addition, the team Monolith obviously tried to secure a reserve for the third part, and therefore you should not expect from Bloodshot distinct endings - for her forced to pay separately, another year and a half.
 | In the context of the situation |
In pursuit of fashion Bloodshot acquired and disseminations of context-sensitive commands, which today are not found only in a "Tetris." Requires players to quickly and accurately press the buttons to effectively complete a particular combo, or to perform the already mentioned fatality. In the latter case, the weakened and no longer resisting the enemy need only to drag to any suitable object or element of the scenery (running television spiked with nails, wall), well beyond - the case for small ...

Drunken dusk ... I freely crossed in the life of eleven months, turned into a long painful dream. Sometimes I find friends, colleagues, those whom I once could call friends. They tried to explain something, sorry, offered help - and, having been refused, disappeared as the day-to-day liquor disappeared at the bottom of a dirty glass. I forgot my way home, but perfectly studied every diner in nearby doorways. I am unaccustomed to sunlight - it was replaced by light bulbs over the bar. I do not remember where and how he managed to get the money, but ... to drink enough. Life is gradually turned into a sticky black pudding and remained so until I again saw the face of Malcolm Vanhorn - bloodied, mutilated lead disfigured grimace of terror. Until now, Malcolm was part of the past, now, melknuv for a few seconds in the twilight, again broke into the present. He knew what I could only guess, and I wanted to get all the answers at once. I chased him, ready for any folly, forgetting about how dangerous the shadows in the darkness ...

Walk on the dark-dark streets and fight with alcoholism - is not the only thing that has thought Ethan Thomas. Already in the early stages of the game a former detective once again taken for the execution of duty, including the investigation of murders. Bloodshot turn in the quest with meticulous palpation of each tucked under the arm the subject, of course, no one but the players need and observation, and the ability to use one's brains, solving criminal puzzles. With the help of loyal co-worker Rose Hill, the detective will examine the crime scene, search and organize the evidence found so far, and, of course, to analyze their own findings, speculate, and drawing conclusions. The accuracy of the latter is designed not only to amuse your self-esteem, but also seriously affects the performance of a mission. Incorrect guess will leave you empty-handed, whereas the correct solution with a considerable degree of probability will make Ethan the owner of something extremely useful - for example, durable body armor or extra "square" of health.

... And a bloody dawn With lighting in Bloodshot and the truth is very, very tight - the sunlight was somewhere behind technological progress, the electric usually very little, just enough for you to notice the approach of the next enemy and time to fight back. There are cases when necessary to rely more on hearing than on sight, and even hand-lantern is not helping out.To discharge the notorious decision of the atmosphere was more than appropriate - the enemy of imagining in every corner, and permanent residence in the labyrinthine slums cramped corridors and cluttered rooms best promotes the development of claustrophobia. In addition, a dark picture regularly disguises any flaws graphics from blurry textures to the lack of polygons in a three-dimensional models - it is evident only in a certain scene scenes.
What a fight, then, as mentioned above, the opponents tend to enjoy the darkness, and at the slightest possibility of ambush, a sudden attack from behind. Excessive distraction on your part will immediately lead to serious health problems - even mediocre bums in Bloodshot vested considerable physical strength and skill are operating with their fists. On the other hand, you have a great chance to try out in practice, an updated combat system, which is so proud of the developers.
We have somehow got used to rudimentarity melee fights in most games with a first-person. But in a Bloodshot main role is just fist fight and the stabbing, making the new brainchild of Monolith should be recognized more representative cohort beat'em up, rather than a shooter. Have to fight both with their bare hands and using a huge arsenal of "subsidiary" means, most of which are literally lying under their feet. Wrenches, bits of power cables, pieces of old furniture and other stuff turned into lethal weapons, indispensable in dealing with hostile world - but not, alas, is durable, aide to the first Condemned. In an effort to strike a balance, the developers have done these things is woefully short-lived: each of them is enough for half a dozen matches with a maximum, then it makes sense to find a replacement, or again rely solely on the iron fist. In fairness, we note that the named alternative is not so bad - Ethan fights skillfully with both hands, is able to block counterattacks, knows a thing in a simple but effective combo, and not averse to demonstrate the amazement of the public many spectacular and incredibly bloody fatality on envy anyone Shang Tsung. Yes, get ready - the blood Bloodshot VERY much, not less, than in the famously well-promoted public scandals Manhunt.

However, the firearm is clearly less attention was paid. Proof of this big set - and there is very scant arsenal, and do not have a daring skirmishes level design, and related habits of most enemies, preferring to jump out at you at the last moment. Agree, it is difficult to aim in leaning from the ceiling is extremely aggressive creature, when the protagonist of its shares on the strength of half a meter. Where as it is more convenient to embed instinctively bared on mug fragment of a water pipe. At the same time, once and switch to melee combat is not allowed - in certain situations, the game literally forced to take up the gun. In addition, with the sighting of another shooting related to a fun feature Bloodshot, closely "interwoven" in the outline of the plot. Recall, the main protagonist of the game has recently feeds pernicious passion for alcohol, with a passion so ardent that without refreshingly intoxicating sip Ethan is difficult to direct weapons on target - much trembling hands. From time to time it becomes a very serious problem, until, finally, the next turn of events did not allow a detective-alcoholic break the protracted relationship with the eternally half-empty bottle.

Voice from the past I thought I had seen the worst, and is no longer able to be afraid. I was wrong. Old nightmares - pleasant dreams next to new horrors. With each step I sank deeper into an abyss of madness, all clearly understood the hopelessness of their situation. I am not one who had to ask for help and no one to rely on. I did not know the truth about his past, I have not seen before is the future. But I went ahead and ghosts around me. Voices, strange and painfully familiar, constantly whispering something. They were threatened, intimidated, encouraged and ridiculed. And the loudest voice sounded, that started it all - the voice of Leland Vanhorn, mad simulator, assassin X-Men. Is full circle?
| Eight agents of any suspected |
Venture to assert that a multiplayer mode needs Bloodshot about the same as the Nintendo DS - the third screen. And yet, he (the regime, not the screen!) Present in the game in several guises. Clearly, not without precondition Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch - there's not and say nothing, everything is already said and written dozens of times. At some original claim Bum Rush, where FBI agents confronted the crowds mad from thirst killing maniacs. Each agent is only one life, and the problem of players - hold out as long as possible. Perhaps most interesting is Crime Scene, where the freaks (Influenced) hide the evidence, whereas the agents, by contrast, are trying to find them before time runs out. Unfortunately, this kind of fun is available all four cards (in Deathmatch - eight). At the strategic reserve is not drawn.
