An additional twist to the firearms combat is Ethan's alcoholism, which causes his aim to become blurry and unsteady unless he regularly drinks alcohol. As in the original game, firearms are limited to the bullets in the current magazine, as the player is unable to carry additional ammo (although they can reload their current magazine by picking up spare ammo lying on the ground). However, melee weapons now break after several strikes or blocks, forcing the player to be adept at resorting to the new hand-to-hand combat system. Like the original game, the sequel also features melee weapons and firearms. The game also features context-sensitive "environmental kills" (such as shoving an enemy's head into a TV or a spiked wall). Additionally, the player is now able to chain together attack combos, as well as perform various finishing moves executed via quick time events. Unlike the first game, Condemned 2 allows for hand-to-hand combat with the player's bare fists, with the left and right triggers controlling the player character's left and right fist respectively. The game also has adventure game elements in the forensic investigation of crime scenes. The game features bare-fisted hand-to-hand combat, combat with melee weapons, and first person shooting. Condemned 2: Bloodshot is a psychological horror video game from a first-person perspective focused on melee-oriented combat.
