Condemned: Criminal Origins

Condemned: Criminal Origins

Strengths: Graphics, story line

Weakness: None so far

Condemned - Criminal Origins is a very violent game. But it is good for those who want some excitement :-) Controls are smooth, and there are lots of actions. Plus, graphics are excellent (sometimes feel a bit too real). The only downside is that the game is a bit short (about 5 to 7 hours of continuous play). Once done, you probably don't want to re-play anymore. So it's probably better for...

A refreshing take on the horror genre

Strengths: Graphics, Atmosphere, Originality

Weakness: Not very long, Not much replay value

Condemned is a very good game that is original and not the typical horror game. It has a good story and gameplay, but the length of the game is pretty short at under ten hours. Once you have beaten the game once, there isn't much reason to go back through and play again unless you are trying to get an achievement missed previously. The best way I can think of to describe Condemned is a mix...

Condemned: Criminal Origins (XBOX 360)

Strengths: (1)Great atmosphere is generated by creepy graphics, unsettling sounds,brutal fight sequences and the uneasy quiet in between

Weakness: (1)Not highly replayable (2) Very linear level and puzzle design

Condemned: Criminal Origins is a genuinely frightening game and very atmospheric one at that. The situations you are put into, the environments, vicious enemies and brutal bludgeonings all work together to create an immersive horror game. Much attention has been paid to the presentation and the visuals and horrific sounds really bring the story to life. That said, this is more or less a...

Condemned: Criminal Origins

Strengths: Incredible graphics and atmosphere. Great storyline and rewarding gameplay experience. Not much to complain about since it's a single player game really.

Weakness: Not much left after you beat the game. It's only a single player game after all. The graphics can at times be a little too shiny giving it a plastic sheen over all the characters.

At first I didn't what to expect since I heard mixed reviews about the game. I just remembered liking the "Chronicles of Riddick" game on the original xbox immensely and since this game was produced by Monolith, I figured it couldn't hurt to check it out. And here I am weeks later and I am glad that I picked this game up. Once you start in on it you'll be immediately impressed by the stellar...

Condemned Criminal Origins

Strengths: good graphics

Weakness: voice acting, short

In condemned you play as a FBI agent assigned to serial crimes. He is framed for a murder. Your objective is to find the real killer and clear his name. The game has really good graphics, sound story line. The sound effects are excellent and it can be pretty scary. The game is a bit short at 10 levels. The game also has good melee combat. Overall I recommend this game it is fun and entertaining.

Sick, Twisted & Devilishly Fun

Strengths: Disgustingly beautiful graphics and sound effects; creepy atmosphere, enhanced by superb surround sound; engaging story; fun melee combat

Weakness: Repetitive gameplay and environments; minimal replay; won't appeal to those expecting traditional FPS gameplay

One of the first games developed for the Xbox 360, Condemned: Criminal Origins remains one of the system's most underrated titles. While the quality of its graphics may not eclipse those of recent 360 games, Condemned's sound design is truly - pardon the pun - killer. The game's sound effects and surround sound are first rate and provide a great reference for any home theater setup. But it's the...

Beautiful game

Strengths: Great graphics. Very fun. Cheap.

Weakness: Very fun, at first. Can get repetitive.

This was one of the first games for the 360, and it still holds up quite well. The graphics are amazing, and extremely realistic. This is not a game for those who scare easily. The game can get repetitive, but it also doesn't last very long, which might be a good thing in this case. There is some replay value in that you can collect various items in order to unlock some achievements, but...

Condemned.

Strengths: Great story and playability. Fun horror style game.

Weakness: Really a one shot.

Condemned was one fot he first games to come out on teh Xbox360 and it folows in the tradition of games like Manhunt and Condemned. It has a lot of the shocks and scares of a traditional horror game. The only downside is that once you're done, it doesn't have much replayability. But it's fun while it lasts.

Condemned

Strengths: Great storyline and really creepy. Excellent hand to hand combat with nice graphics for a first gen game.

Weakness: No multiplayer and flashlight can be a hinderance

Got this game at a really good price at Best Buy. Would recommend now that it is a lower priced game. Well worth the purchase and I am glad that I purchased it.
