2006-02-12 12:16:36 This is some freaky S**T!

I have just finished Condemned and must say that it is a brilliant game! Highly recommened. I did'nt find this game repetative at all, although it takes a couple of levels to really get into it. also this game is filled with very memorable freaky moments that easly should belong among the best of them. This game would make a fantastic movie! Get It! and prepare to pee your knickers!

There was one moment that I crapped my pants. On the metro station level (i think), I was looking around for medi's when I opened a locker and out jumps this crazy woman who starts hacking at me.
It really is a very original game, that has the most aggresive AI i have ever seen. Hopefully we will see a sequel with some more variety to the enemy AI and objectives.

For once I agree 100% with you Scarface. I really have nothing to add.

Explanation for the repetitive controls are most likely attributed to the PC like control setup of having two mouse buttons and little else to play around with. Had it truly been a proper console game and not a waiting-to-be-PC game, the actual gameplay would most likely offer something a little less restricted and one dimensional.

Fingers crossed for sequel, I wanna chuck office chairs back at enemies please.

Good point... I know that PS3 is getting it, but was unaware that PC would to. It was a good surprise on chapter10 to get a rifle, but man, what a fcked up ending.

I actually hope that they don't make a sequel, its something a bit special and unique - if they left it now it would be perfect!

Condemned isn't coming out for the PS3 anymore, I think Microsoft bought exclusivety.

2006-02-12 22:36:40

Yeah, I love that game!
Some people might think I'm crazy, but this was THE 360 launchtitle for me.
Never ever played a game so intense as this one....brilliant!

2006-02-12 23:42:03

I personally dont see what you guys see as i got bored of it after half way through the second level, and havnt played it since, i geuss its not my type of game, and imo not that unique from all the other shooters.

2006-02-12 23:49:34

Well, that's where you go wrong....it's not a shooter:P

2006-02-12 23:49:39

Well ign said it was the best game nobody played.

Its a game that needs to be played in the right environment. Dark room, 5.1, big screen. And its not a shooter. It's very original, so don't know what genre it is. You do get guns, but they have between 1 to 5 bullets.

Like I said at the top give it a chance, around Chapter 3 it starts to get more interesting, just stick with it. The game will surprize you!

Condemned impressed me, it’s surprisingly good for a launch game. Fingers crossed for a sequel…
Monolith’s 3D engine (also used in F.E.A.R. for the PC) is really good-looking, among the best out there…
