DESCRIPTION
Condemned: Criminal Origins is a psychological thriller in the style of a first-person survival horror adventure. Players take the role of Ethan Thomas, an F.B.I. agent in the "Serial Crimes Unit" ("SCU"), who ventures through dark, dangerous, urban environments to track down homicidal sociopaths. Just as he begins to believe that there might be some unusual connection — some shared criminal origin — between several of his recent serial killer suspects, Thomas is separated from his support team and left to fend for himself in a forgotten part of town that seems filled with mindless, murderous vagrants. Condemned was developed by Monolith Productions, known for its effective use of narrative in first-person action games such as No One Lives Forever and Tron 2.0. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“I think Condemned: Criminal Origins may very well have been my first foray into the horror genre and I've loved the creepy stuff ever since.
The game itself has a pretty cool story and some decent scary moments.
Pros: Dark and creepy story, lots of "weapons" to use throughout the game and some genuinely scary moments.
Cons: Controls and camera angles can be a little clunky and hard to negotiate.”

And I liked it. This game lacked in graphics, but it made up for it with awesome gameplay and storyline creativity. ”

“I wanted to give this five stars but there wasn't much to the game after I beat it, but I gave it four because it is a great game still, the atmosphere is creepy and you will jump a few if not many times through out the game. I like the mixture of survival horror and FPS even though guns are scarce and your either fist fighting or clubbing someone with a piece of re bar you can actually grab from off the wall. that plus a weird(I like weird) story line made for a cool experience.”

“I stopped playing the game at about level 3 when I first got the game, thinking it was boring. The gameplay, though original, moved too slowly for my tastes and was too repetitive. I picked it up again months later, and as soon as I got past level 3, the game really caught hold of me. The pacing, storyline, and level design seem to really come together at that point. The last few levels are striking. They make excellent use of mood and make full use of the game's immersion. The story itself is tastefully ambiguous. As the game ends, like in any good horror movie, you still have several questions about the characters, their motivation, and their general situation.
In short, the game is memorable. Though it has its flaws, they become forgotten when looking back at the experience.”
