Cons: Not enough guns/bullets to defend yourself. The darkness can get you turned around. The Bottom Line: Condemned is an excellent game for horror flick lovers and people that love to torture themselves with fear! from Shopping.com Overall though, Condemned is worthy of your $60 and is a definite pick up. from Darkzero.co.uk I have always been a fan of the horror genre of video games. I love games like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and even Bioshock. Condemned: Criminal Origins puts a completely different spin on the Horror genre. I bought the game just the other day, and I absolutely am in love with it. from Walmart.com I had actually bought this for a friend who wanted it over Live, but I have played and beat this game in the past. Nice atmosphere, eriee surroundings and great melee combat through-out the game. from Amazon.com Condemned Criminal Origins was an Xbox 360 launch title that still holds up. It's a very solid survival horror game with good combat mechanics. from Amazon.com Your character moves slowly--you're always aware of your surroundings. There's no rushing through halls to engage the next enemy. Instead, you move cautiously about, checking dark corners with your flashlight, and listening intently for the sound of any footsteps that might alert you to the presence of a foe. Really, this is an incredibly cinematic experience. from Amazon.com FOOLED YOU! There are little glowing pictures of fingerprints or shoe prints or evidence. You then pull out your "scanner" or whatever other make-believe tool you could think of for a Men In Black movie and then point at the "evidence". Then, the voice of a woman comes over your headset and tells you what the evidence is. from Amazon.com The only thing that kep me going was the engrossing story. The annoying fighting interface was sad. The "investigative" tools and situations felt forced and contrived. I get that the idea was to have a great story that you could interact in and drive as the main character. from Amazon.com To be fair the only PROS I can think of for this game was that there were good graphics and great audio. Moreover, the game is full of creepy environments that will get your heart racing. from Amazon.com Condemned: Criminal Origins (C:CO) is probably really only for survival horror fans of a certain kind - probably those that are also obsessed with tactical shooters. That's not to say that C:CO is in any way a tactical shooter, but there is something of a spiritual similarity, in that the beauty of this game is not a continually developing and complex set of game mechanics that one must master to progress in the game, but more the continuing application of a simple set of play mechanics that must be critically applied in different ways to progress. from Amazon.com
