Summary: I'm not a big fan of gore and suspense but this game was fun. The story line is creepy and fun to follow and the game play is smooth for the most part. It was easy to beat and easy to play, never really got stuck on any levels. Realistic graphics and sounds can really creep you out sometimes. The only bad part about this game is that you really have to play it with a big screen and surround sound to truly enjoy it. The more time you spend exploring the levels, the more achievments you unlock and things you find. Good luck.

Cons: not enough different enemies

Summary: The production values in this game rival that of movies as the intro will show- It is a mix of SEVEN and CSI in concept. The blocking mechanic does add new dimension as timing matters and changes with different weapons. I love how you can tear off peices of the environment (like a gas pipe that then lets out gas which will ignite when sparked). While many of the enemies are drugged up vagrants, they will team up on you or run an pull a broken board off of a crate before hiding for an ambush. If you startle a vagrant and see him running off, you get concerned about where he is hiding. The graphics are all really polished and the story was more interesting than most.

First Person shooter with a twist. Fantastic combination of detective and action gaming.

Summary: “Condemned: Criminal Origins,” was a refreshing change from the conventional first-person shooters that clog up the space on my shelf. The best way to sum it up is- C.S.I meets “Resident Evil.” However, even this doesn’t do the game justice. I am not a fan of horror movies and yet I could still appreciate the game’s ability to shock and disturb you in the same way. The game offers you a wide choice of weapons ranging from fire-arms stolen from victims, to dismembered manikin models, or anything in the fully interactive environment. These weapons each have different qualities which you will need to fend off the drugged up psychos of the American underworld. The game has another unique side, where you put your mind to the test in a forensic environment. Luckily, this is not too difficult and so the player will not get bored. The only down side is the quality of the graphics compared to the latest first person shooters.
Whether battering a criminal with a sledge hammer or scouring a crime scene for a clue, “Condemned” is a first-rate game. “Well done SEGA”

Er? Whats going on here?
by dashow93 on April 22, 2006
Pros: One of the first games to come out, good creepy storyline, kinda funky!
Cons: Predicatable storyline, can beat it in an afternoon, weak weapons system(ill explain later) altho its a great theory
Summary: Like i said, the weapons system was weak. Why? Repeative weapons, yet it was a great theory. Hopefully tehre will be a sequal sometime soon

Summary: Spectacular animation entertains me only for so long. In fact, it took about 15 minutes of this game before I started wondering, "Ok, walk around and beat inexplicable 'crack-zombies' with a pointed stick - is this it?" Yes, that's all there is: beating up crack-zombies again and again and again. Don't get me wrong; the animation is spectacular and brilliantly creates a dark and intense atmosphere. But, nevertheless, it fails to follow through with satisfying game play and plot development. As far as I'm concerned, they made the icing without baking the cake.
Instead of buying this game, watch the movie Seven - four or five times.
