My Rant: Game, PS3, Condemned 2

I have recently played condemned 2 on PS3 and here what annoyed me about it...

Story
The game is about… Well I am not sure. I haven’t played the original and I find this game doesn’t really explain allot of what is going on. You can sort of get a snippet of what is going on but I never really fully understood who I way and why I was there. It's got more a story that your average game but the cut scenes don’t really draw me in, to bother understanding what is going on.

Game play
At first the game play felt new and fresh but for me slowly became annoying. You kill people by using melee combat mainly and sometimes you have to do button combos. OK so what wrong with that, well nothing when used in the right context? Most of the time combat gets stuck and you can’t kill someone etc unless you press the buttons at the right time etc. So they can just keep smacking you but you can’t do any damage to them unless you press or do the right thing. This becomes annoying fast and really lets this game down. I would like the option to kill them one way or another…

Graphics
Graphics in this game are average. Sometimes the graphics wow me, with the black gue stuff everywhere. This game tried to create atmosphere by fuzzing every now and then and for one level it did this too frequent it became annoying.

Sound(Take note)
This game suffers from serious sound issues. It constantly cuts out and it’s not my receiver etc. Very bad sound, you have been warned

Overall
The game brings something new to the Horror Genre in games. I can’t think of anything that hasn't annoyed me about this game. Please note this is a rant about annoyances in the game not a review!
