 Fantastic! "but gorey!" December 27, 2008
A very great game with an awesome but gruesome storyline. Your name is Ethan Thomas, a FBI agent working on a case. your gun gets kicked, and the serial killer shoots 2 police officers. "if you think that's the only bad thing, there's a second case you solve while solving the serial killer's case. birds are mysteriously dying, and you need to find out why" from 45. cal pistols, to crowbars, your a hardcore cop who is destined to solve this case! and not to mention, its scary that people pop out, such as zombie-spider people, to fat firemen trying to chop your head off! just a warning, be aware of the scary people popping out!
Quite Good November 29, 2008
Condemned is a very exciting and sometimes terrifying game. In my opinion, it is best played in the middle of the night, alone, with the lights off. The story is pretty interesting, though it is never completely explained. The plot revolves around Agent Ethan Thomas of the Serial Crimes Unit of the FBI. In a standard investigation at a crime scene, he is framed for two murders, as he is on the run from the police and the FBI, he searches for the true killer. As he gets closer to the truth he experiences more and more paranormal activity. The game has awesome, though bleak, graphics and a chilling hand-to-hand combat aspect. The plot atmosphere of intrigue and investigation is quite interesting. I thought the voice acting was rather good, though somewhat cliche.
The game is very linear, with little space for exploration. However, there are various secrets and achievements found throughout the game that unlock special content accessible through the main menu. Condemned is a great game that can be played more than once, it is like a movie that you can be part of.

Creep fest that's fun! October 16, 2008

I was not a huge fan of FEAR, but it had it's moments. This game however has everything FEAR did not, that is to say it's actually scary. The horror is not random at all in this game, it's actually quite constant, you're instantly submerged in a sick twisted underground world of terror and absolute fear, real FEAR. This game made me jump a few times. Aside form the survival horror aspect of this genre bender, the forensics was cool, if not unrealistic at times, you basically scan everything rather then use the old pick and tweezers method used by real forensics. The FPM game style was fun, easy, and original. FPM, meaning first person melee. This is not a shooter at all, in fact the few guns you find scattered about usually won't help you much, as there is no reload feature or even an inventory for that matter. You just wonder around in search of a better weapon. It's a simple game, I only had to look for a strategy guide online once. Don't play this one in the dark, or do play in the dark, but be warned.
 not the best shooter October 9, 2008

I was a little let down with this fps. Not enough action for me. Game was a little slow.
