Let me start by saying I?m a big fan of the Horror genre in all of its formats, movies, games, you name it. Let me elaborate a bit on that point, I like to get scared, not grossed out or shocked , but really scared, and in my book there is nothing scarier than things that you can perceive as real."

Description

Developed by award-winning Monolith Productions for the next-generation consoles and PC, Condemned allows players to experience an unnatural level of psychological tension as they use their instincts, forensic tools, and melee combat to track serial killers and bring them to justice. Gamers will play as Ethan Thomas, an FBI agent in the Serial Crimes Unit (SCU), whose pursuit of relentless serial killers leads him through detailed urban environments filled with socio-paths who lurk on the periphery of humanity.

Date reviewed: July 17, 2006.

Overall: Because Im a little short on funds, I had to rent the game, but I wish I had it! I loved FEAR, and since this was made by Monolith as well, I had to give it a try. You play as a detective who gets wrapped in a case in which he has only one on his side. Like FEAR, Condemned has a polished story that'll keep you playing until you get to the end.
Gameplay: One thing a love about Monolith is how they "put you in the eyes of the character" this makes the game very impassive. Fighting in the game, although tough at first, is fun. You rarely have a gun, and sometimes a gun just might not be the best thing to have in a given area. You can use many different objects laying around, from a pipe to a butcher knife. For this reason blocking plays a huge role of gameplay. It can be harder than it seems because often enemys throw "fakes" and fallow up with a hit before you can block again. So you really have to stay on your toes and watch you enemies movements closelly so you don't get caught off gaurd.
Graphics: The graphics in this game are impressive to say the least. It uses the FEAR engine so everything is dynamically lit and has a very realistic appearance. There may be some textures that appear a bit low res, but everything is so well textured you dont notice them to often. Be warned though, this game is dark, and thus makes it VERY creepy. If you dare, play this game 10pm or later when all is quiet in the house.
Sound: Topnotch, no complaints here.
Suggestions: I want a Condemned 2!

Overall: This is a very addicting game, once you start playing its hard to stop. You play as an FBI agent that gets blamed for a murder that he didn't commit and now you have to prove that you didn't do it.
Gameplay: The environments are amazing, almost everything in the game, you can interact with. The controls are perfect. Great job, Sega and Monolith!
Graphics: This is one of the best looking Xbox 360 titles to date, the player models and environments are very detailed.
Sound: The sound really immerses you into the game, the weapon sounds and voice-overs are great!

Overall: Very cool game!!!! But too dark all the way!!!! I got headaches playing it in dark mode. Need more sunlight in the game man!
Gameplay: Game play is great and smooth! Felt like Max Payne which is awesome. But the ammos kept running out. Too much limits here. I like to keep on shooting and shooting is more much funner than whacking with woods, pipes, and etc.
Graphics: Cool but the graphics doesnt look like xbox 360 version. Need to work on graphics more and make it look good.
Sound: I am deaf and it has subtitles!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GRE! I am glad to own this subtitled game.
Suggestions: need some daytime.
