this is not the case for Condemned obviously, but I actually prefer it if the FEAR universe gets more crazy and over the top with each iteration. I mean, the game is fundamentally about shooting peoples heads off, in slow-motion.
Played the game for about an hour today. I gotta say, the gunplay is fantastic. The weapons handle well. The slo-mo power allowing you to rush multiple enemies, satisfyingly popping off headshots and point-blank shotty dismemberments .
The enemy AI is surprisingly competent. They stay in cover when being suppressed; flank and push forward aggressively otherwise. Just generally quite fun to fight against, and actually require a bit of finesse to outmatch. The level design so far lets you flank, take vantage, or otherwise rush opponents in slow-motion picking them off one by one; and it actually feels really good, more so than say Crysis 2, which tried something similar, albeit on a bigger scale.
Oh and do you have to level up for fung-fu action or is it just not in the game? I was playing and kept saying the game feels like it should have a slide move and sure enough, a slide move unlocks.
I don't think you unlock any moves. The slide kick is really easy to pull off, just sprint and hit melee.
