   Just when you thought that an original videogame was few and far between, along comes Condemned. The game is scary and intense. First person view enhanses the scare factor. Condemned is richly detailed with sound effects that immerse the gamer into the creepy Condemned environment. The AI is top notch and there are plenty of weapons to choose from. This is the Halo of survival horror games. Turn down the lights, turn up the sound and be prepared to be afraid. Very afraid.… Expand

   i'm not quite sure what everyone sees in Condmned. i played it for a little while, and walked away happy that i had rented it first, rather than buying it. the graphics and sound are good, but the game has too many flaws to be fun. first: why can't i crouch or jump? it makes it a little hard to take cover from gun fire if i can't crouch. second: the fighting controls feel WAY too unresponsive. blocking is just not possible without hours of practice. third: your character walks way too slow, and the default sprint button is in completely the wrong place. on top of that, the other two control schemes are way too confusing to use. Fourth: this game just isn't that scary. sure there are a couple jumpy moments, but it just didn't feel that scary. i was more scared playing Half-Life 2, in the Ravenholm chapter. if you want a scary FPS, get Doom 3. Condemned is barely worth a weekend rental.… Expand

   Ugly graphics, Dull combat, so so storyline. Basically, wander down an ugly brick hallway, beat a guy with a pipe, and then get stopped in your tracks by a small chair maybe a pile of cardboard boxes blocking the hall, and spend the next 10 minutes going the long way around. Come on Monolith, Give us another one of your creative FPS's, Another Blood, Shogo or N.O.L.F.… Expand
