Condemned: Criminal Origins User Review
- Difficulty:
- Just Right
- Time Spent:
- 10 to 20 Hours
- The Bottom Line:
- "Immersive"
Condemned: Criminal Origins is a great addition to the FPS genere, though it plays much differently than your typical shooter. Run and gun is thrown out the window with Condemned, replaced by the necessity for stealth and quick wit.
Throughout the game, you are usually going to be low on ammo for the few guns the game features. But the guns weren't the focus. It's the ability to turn nearly every pice of the surrounding environment into a weapon. Combined with a suspensful and immersive story and beautiful graphics and sound, Condemned: Criminal Origins shimmers in the dark.
If you are only interested in your typical "run and gun" shooters like Half Life and Quake, then it's probably best you avoid Condemned. But if you are looking to try something both new and extremely well executed, then Criminal Origins may be a great game for you.

If you loved F.E.A.R., not minding the average level design and love survival horror games then this is worth playing.

Scary at first, quickly becomes brainless and repetitive.

A very brutal game. You will smash opponents with pipes and 2x4's. A little thriller/mystery but mostly bloody action.
