This is a great 360 game!

Okay...this game isn't perfect, but what game is?
It's creepy and dark and very addictive, featuring an interesting story, great graphics, and plenty of wet your pants levels.
This game unfolds like a great cop thriller/horror movie, with plenty of scares and hold your breath moments.
The constant battles with the druggies and street trash gets old fast using lead pipes and 2x4's, but the ultra cool cut scenes and freak-you-out moments when the ghostly images appear and weird visual things mess up your mind while playing.
I love games that do that.
I've played every Resident Evil game and I'm a big fan of the horror genre in general, but let me tell you, this game will freak you out!
It reminds at times of a 360 version of the Gamecube's Eternal Darkness.
The weird movie moments and mess with your head moments are found within this game, and I'd recommend it to anyone.
Play it in the dark, alone, on a large screened TV, with the speakers turned up nice and loud.
(I don't have an HDTV, but it still looked good and creepy on my tube)
If you want to get into a game and feel jumpy and freaked out while playing it, this is the game for you.
(I kept thinking to myself while playing "there is no way I would be walking around in there armed with a lead pipe")
Buy this game, it is good scary fun!

"Thinking Man's" FPS

If you're looking for a run-and-gun FPS this isn't for you (understand that this makes gameplay a little slower). However, this game is a lot of fun. Ammo and guns are scarce so you have to use anything else in the environment, and items are actually quite plentiful-- signs, pipes, 2 x 4's, and more are all at your disposal. The concept behind the combat system is awesome, it gives you a break from the "spray and pray" that every FPS utilizes. In doing so fights feel more personal and involved since you have to get right up in a baddie's face, then block and attack. This in turn requires flanking and a little forethought before attacking, especially if you have multiple targets. (It's also quite satisfying dropping a guy to his knees and having a few options as to how to finish him off, such as snapping his neck, bashing his face in, and others.) The AI is "intelligent," enemies will take cover and wait for you to make a move instead of just charging. The lighting is great and really, really sets the mood, guaranteed to keep you on your toes the entire game.

Lastly, bravo for having the subtitles option. It still amazes me that there are games out there that lack this feature. For Deaf and Hard of Hearing gamers the lack of subtitles is infuriatiang. Have to give credit where credit is due.

Awesome game

this game caused me some serious anxiety, right up there with the first Silent Hill game

HELLA SCARY

Although F.E.A.R. scared me, this game is a helluva lot scarier. This game will leave you scared every turn you make in the game because it gets scarier the further you progress. You get numerous weapons to choose from to take down enemies, whether human or supernatural and the game tells you how effective they are. Crime investigating is also a fun feature in the game using a wide variety of forensic tools making you feel like a member from the show C.S.I. I couldn't believe how frightening and disturbing this game is(One of the scary moments in the game was put in Game Informer's top ten most scary moments in all of gaming). I was also excited to learn that a sequel is in the works: Condemned 2: Bloodshot which will be released in Spring 2008 for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3(Especially since this game is at #4 on my top ten favorite games of all time). Damn, the sequel looks even freakier than the first.

Good game and story!!!!!

This game was pretty good. Good story, good graphics but a little to short. I beated in a couple of days maybe three. But for the price you van not ask for more. 4.5 of 5.

A solid, but too short game

After a couple months of cruising by the electronics isle of my local big box store, I finally snagged a 360 and a copy of "Condemned." I really enjoyed the game. The combat system is unique and the controls are almost perfect. My only complaint is the game is far to short. I beat it in a weekend of casual gaming. After two days of playing an hour here and an hour there, I beat the game. I usually get atleast a week or two out of an FPS before beating it. Still and all, Condemned is worth playing through at least once, but given it's length, it's probably a better rental than a purchase.

This is one of the best NEXT-Gen titles on the xbox 360. The first person point of view is a great way to play like hits such as Halo and Call of Duty 2. Condemned show how one would act in a real fight by using anything not nailed down to hit a zombie with. The Digital camera and tool of the game are great. Some of the zombies are actually jump out at you before you can react. The art work push the power of the 360 above most other games.

The most realistic Game ever

Condemned: Criminal origins is hands down the most realistic video game ever made. Everything, from the walls to the windows are absolutley stunning. I can't believe this is how far games have come. I strongly recommend this game for anyone who enjoys true realism in video games.

SCARED? YES I AM!

This game is awesome. When i got home and started playing it my palms were already sweating 5 minutes in from gripping the conroller so hard. It is definitly one of the games that will make jump a time or two.
After the first levle i was saying yeah its scary but i only fought about 5 enemies. Dont worry, in the later levels there is plenty of action.
Its also a great game to play with friends either at your house or just talking to them on xbox live, even if it is not multiplayer.
even though the game is pretty short it might take you a while to beat because after the 2 levles i could not play any more because i dont think the human body is supposed to have that much adrenaline. This is definently a must by for the 360 or even th PC.

Good, dirty fun!

I swear. This game is almost better than a movie! Me and my buddies in the dorm would sit around and take turns playing. It was better than doing homework, that's for sure. The game is so detailed. You had better pay attention, because it means the difference between getting to your objective and getting bashed in the head with a lead pipe.
