Going totally off what I read over at wikipedia a long time ago, afaik the 360 version has movies in it as well + the tv shows, but not AS much as in the ps3 version which was due to storage limits.
Apparently theres a fair few asian kung foo movies in there like Street Fighter (no relation to the games) + a heap of other stuff.

Funny (

Got around to playing Condemned 2 a few days back.
A few gameplay impressions, no spoilers regarding story...
I like the combat system better, but it still seems to fall apart when facing multiple enemies. Even after practicing in the arena, 3 or more opponents spell death 4 out of 5 times on hard, and I don't seem to fare much better on normal.
The textures and overall graphics are better this time around, no more muddy close-ups everywhere you care to look.
The unlockables/power ups which vary depending on overall success of completing each level are nice. They serve as a reason to dig a little deeper in any event.
The forensics/investigations have been reworked. Much better overall, though still way too linear to ever feel like a puzzle. You can pick from several options in regards to evidence, and are given a rating at the end of each particular sequence based on how you respond.
A lot more guns this time around, and one early area had nearly enough ammo to shotgun my whole way through.
There are a lot of on-screen indicators to perform actions, from forensics to fighting. No worse than COD4, but they detract from what is otherwise such an immersive atmosphere IMO.
The sound effects are insane in 5.1, much like in the first entry. Shotguns go boom and flesh smacks while some unseen entity whispers in your ear about how doomed you are, all during running through some squishy slimy pool of something or other while some psycho howls in the distance.
Haven't tried out MP yet, but the configurable practice arena was a nice addition.

There's a Condemned 2 demo on xboxlive now for those those interested.

It's been out for several months, yet there's been no solid news about whether or not they'll port it to PC. I might just buy the 360 version.

I know it means nothing for the quality of the product but it's price dropped pretty quickly, so I'm guessing its sales must've been pretty poor.
The demo is alright. I had a pretty hard time taking the whole supernatural possessed bums seriously but the gameplay was awesome in the original.
The combat in the demo feels tighter but there are these black oily monsters who shatter when you hit them...Weird.
