AcidGlowx81 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Bought it 2 weeks ago and fired it up and nailed 970 in 2 days. Very creepy game and scarier then F.E.A.R. and F.E.A.R. 2. Now to do a video playthrough for my youtube channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggiez Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Yes, I also thought that Condemned was a great game. Not that scary but constantly creepy and with a lot of great areas to explore. Was thinking about getting the sequel but that game seems to focus much more on guns. That seemed to be a little bit out of character for these games I thought.

jessd_25 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Yeah, this is a great game, with a good story too. Most horror games don't really seem to pull off a good story in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoMaD DiSTuRBeD Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 This game is excellent. If you haven't played it I'd recommend Clive Barker's Jericho. More of a shooter but has a great horror storyline to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nappster187 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 this is one of my favorites... I doubt Ill play it again, but I did get 3 playthroughs out of it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YhoJo Kinson Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 good plot great idea but totally disagree with the rest, apart from the 'i would advise you playing it if you havn't' coz its worth it but isn't scary at all, and in some cases humerous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schorpioen Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I liked this game. It was the first game for me X360. I haven't played it for a while, but I'll redo it soon to get all the achievements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorTapinski Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 This was one of the first games i played on my freshly bought 360, loved every minute of it, may buy it again to polish up the achievements i missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OOOOOPS MY BAD Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Yup, great game, great story and... *criminal wacks you behind* Yea... and scary (If you're dying). I always get suprised like that lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViolatorX Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 First game i got for the 360 on release date, I got it off play and it came like a week before the console did Really loved the game, the brutality was almost shocking, though after witnessing the sound and the sheer pain of smashing somebody in the face with a pipe, I find combat in a lot of other games inferior after playing the condemned series. Its worth the purchase alone just to experience hitting some drunk and killing him with a locker door lol. I need to reget this game and finish up the achievements.

Seismillpesoman Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I want to know which is better, the first one or the 2nd? I havent played either, but my friends liked the first, and kinda know the plot of it, but overall which is better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madserati Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 One of the launch titles for 360. Still a great game today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushy_23 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I played the second installment first, one of my top games ever, very original and creepy. This prompted me to buy the original one, didn't quite get into it as much as the 2nd. But I will re-purchase it and try it again. Anyone that hasn't bought the 2nd one I'd go for it. Such an awesome game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restricted-Access Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 It seems "scary" is a term that is viewed differently by many people. Still... it's not a feel-good game - and definitely NOT for kids! If you really want to get the BEST effect from this game... you need to have a fairly big TV (36 inches or larger, and it needs to be HD - SD don't cut it), a dark room while playing (and at night) - AND be playing alone (no friends, family or pets around to make you feel cozy)... and if you have it: A digital surround sound system (or headphones, to help isolate you from the world around you). Also... no chatting with your buddies on XBOX LIVE: you go it alone! The game will play much better if played like I mentioned. I actually played the game with my Ethernet cable unplugged, so as not to get pop-ups from friends (appearing online, chat/game invites, etc.). You can set your status to "Busy" instead, but that will block achievement pop-ups as well! I recommend "Condemned 2: Bloodshot" as well. The story is really good, but the only thing "new" they didn't need to add was the "alert" when enemies are near (your health meter lights up). I personally think they should patch C2:B with a "fear-mode" setting, where the enemy alert does NOT happen, so it will feel like it did when playing the first game! The health meter doesn't need to show, unless you are taking damage - and by that time... the "surprise" has already happened!! Anyway... play in the dark, play alone, and have surround sound or headphones... and you'll get the most out of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casket Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 This game is beyond great. Condemned: Criminal Origins is one of my very favorite games! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/83/Condemned.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arenazombie Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I want to know which is better, the first one or the 2nd? The 2nd one improved on the gameplay mechanics but I say, that the first one is overall the way better game: Better story, better atmosphere, scarier. I got both in a double pack but if you want to get only one of them, go with the first one. Hard to state why I think the story of the 2nd one did suck without spoiler.

Tonythesound59 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I gotta admit even with it's DATEDNESS Condemned is awesome. Horror games like this just aren't out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsaako Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 The only thing I dislike is the combat system, other than that it's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DadofDOOM Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 For me the second one is much harder mostly due to the advances in control schemes by that time. The first one kept it relatively simple so I was able to block and attack well, and sidestepping attacks was also much easier. The second one added a lot to the options but is giving me fits since I can't seem to time the blocks properly and backing up no longer gets you out of range fast enough to avoid damage. As an old school FPSer I miss circle-strafe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
