This game, is one of those games, that reminds me why I still play video games. The graphics may seem outdated to elitists but I find them to be great. The sound effects are spot on, it could be something falling over making you turn around, or your own footsteps making you wonder if someone is following you, either way it will leave you spooked. The use of lighting is fantastic, it never gets old when you're walking around and all of the sudden an enemy pops out of a dark corner, and I swear I couldn't see him before. The A.I. is awesome. One of the scariest moments in the game was when I was walking in a subway and there's what looks to be a homeless guy sleeping on a bench, and he jumps up and charges me with an axe! There were several moments in this game that made me yell oh god! The developers effectively build suspense until all of the sudden someone pops up or shoots you through a window or something. Best of all is the combat, some of the situations were so intense I literally felt like I was fighting for my life, partly due to the first person perspective I think. I have to say, this brings that terror of the Silent Hill series together with realism and better, more innovative combat. Best of all, I bought this used for $14.99. Best 15 bucks I've spent in a while.

This game is worth buying and it is scary as hell . I've added it to my collection of games. And worth the price too.

There are few things in this world that make me weep openly. First there's Terminator 2 when the T-man has Connor lower him into the molten metal. Second there's the direction the Final Fantasy series has taken. Third there is this retarded, repetitive, poorly written abortion.
The most disturbing thing about this game is the number of people that LIKED it! It has been a trend lately of just...releasing a game. Do the people making these games even communicate? Who writes the story?
On this game I'm going to go ahead and guess that a 40 year old sweaty guy with the greasy hair and beard of an Apple product-user (you know the people I'm talking about) sat in his mom's basement and wrote this crap on a MAC. Actually...I think a MAC is about the only thing that could manage to be as useless as this game.
What the frick is the storyline? I am a sharp guy...I get things with relative ease. This story was mung! Mung is more interesting to study than this game! I'd actually rather go out and poke poop with a stick than play this game. I stopped playing to go out and mow my lawn and the grass wasn't even that tall.
Also, you probably think you're going to get to study crime scene evidence and hunt down clues in order to find a serial killer, right?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! FOOLED YOU! There are little glowing pictures of fingerprints or shoe prints or evidence. You then pull out your "scanner" or whatever other make-believe tool you could think of for a Men In Black movie and then point at the "evidence". Then, the voice of a woman comes over your headset and tells you what the evidence is. I don't even get to put the evidence into context for myself!? This part of the game seemed like something that was added at the last minute. It's almost as if someone bothered to play the game before release and then went to their boss and said, "Dude...this thing plays like a first person Double Dragon...except that it sucks. After this employee explained the level of suck this game had attained upper management started throwing out bones until the game was tolerable to victims of brain injuries instead of people who demand very expensive and poorly designed trivets.
Hmm...let's go through a check for this game.
Repetitive levels and gameplay? Check.
Repetitive enemies and weapons? Check.
Broken promises regarding game properties? Check.
No continuity or sense in the story at all? Check.
Most goat-licking ending of any video game ever? Check.
It's official! This game sucks more nasty burrito than a homeless guy sleeping behind Taco Bell.
The absolute best part? I see they're making a SEQUEL!
Coming soon to a video game store near you; Condemned 2, a whole new level of suck!
I weep for the people that enjoyed this game. It just goes to show that the younger generation has no idea what it takes to make a good game. It's the "no one loses" philosophy. The truth hurts, boys and girls, so don't hate me because I'm right.

It's pretty much destiny that video games don't translate well to movies or television. Apparently the same is true in reverse. Condemned has a fantastic story. The voice acting is spot on. This would have made a great movie or television miniseries. Unfortunately, the gameplay kind of stinks. The only thing that kep me going was the engrossing story. The annoying fighting interface was sad. The "investigative" tools and situations felt forced and contrived. I get that the idea was to have a great story that you could interact in and drive as the main character. I just don't think they pulled it off very well. Apparently they are making a sequel. Let's hope it's an improvement.

To be fair the only PROS I can think of for this game was that there were good graphics and great audio. Moreover, the game is full of creepy environments that will get your heart racing. That however, is where my praise ends.
Condemned Criminal Origins is one of the WORST games I have ever played and certainly, the worst I have played on 360! Do not get me wrong, plenty people out there are going to like this game. If that is what does it for you than all I can say is, you are a lot easier to satisfy then myself. I had high expectations for this game, and it could have been something special, but for me Condemned Criminal Origins fell way short of even being good.
This game is all about slashing! That is it! If you were expecting something more like me, than you will be sourly disappointed. This game literally consists of slashing some druggies in a room than two or three rooms later, slashing some more druggies. This is what occurs throughout the whole entire game! It is like a bad nightmare that you keep having over and over the same exact way. There is a bit of forensic work in the game that tries but fails horribly at giving you something else to do. The forensic work is so easy and so brief I think the developers just threw it in there on a whim. The whole reason I purchased the game was because I thought it was going to be a thrilling mix of forensics, cinematic action and intelligent minds hot on the trail of a serial killer. Instead, I got a slasher game that insults your intelligence and repeats itself more than Bill Clinton claiming that he never had sexual relations with Monica. The game's storyline starts out good than goes from worse to horrendous! I think Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs are more realistic than this game. The fact that the FBI would act the way it does in this game is just down right impossible. I felt insulted for them!
Please, Please do not waste your money on Condemned Criminal Origins if you are expecting and more than slashing people in a creepy environment. If that is what you like than be all means buy the game I am sure you will enjoy it, but for the people who are looking for a game with a bit more intellect, and aptitude I would skip this one.
