First Condemned 2 multiplayer footage

Beware the meat cleaver! Two gameplay movies ready for viewing

Condemned 2 multiplayer is on display in two new movies that are available through our video player.

Both offer pretty brief glimpses of the mode and only show melee combat, but you've just got to love that meat cleaver weapon.

Supporting up to eight players, multiplayer in Condemned 2 includes the bog-standard Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch, but on top of that you've got team-based Crime Scene and Bum Rush.

In the former, one team's attempting to use forensic tools to investigate a crime scene while it's the task of the opposing team to disrupt the snooping. Bum Rush, meanwhile, finds two teams battling for survival against each other and a three-minute clock.

Condemned 2 is out on March 14 on PS3 and Xbox 360.
