Condemned - Sega's first next gen game

Overall the game was an entertaining experience, but outside of the hand-to-hand combat it never came with anything fresh. It lacked that real erie feel of SH and it's shock level didn't match that of any RE.

My biggest complaint with the game is that it held your hamd thru all the puzzles (forensic collection), if you can even call them puzzles. They were more like mildly-interactive cutsceens.

Second biggest complaint is the design of the last level. I'll leave it at that.

Worth a rental or a purchase at <$30, but nothing more.

Monolith has let me down with both this and FEAR. Both good games, but both lacked that NOLF polish.

PC version is $40, which is more attractive than the $60 of the X360 version. I agree that the forensic stuff seems limited, but I think this game is scarier than RE or silent hill.

Nice demo. It ran well on my pc with just about everything on maximum (turned off soft shadows). I noticed that my fps shot up big time when I turned off "fullscreenFX" from the advanced video settings. Other than adding a fuzzy filter effect I have no clue what that does except slow the game down a bit. I'll pick the game up when it hits 30 bucks or less.

That turns on post-processing effects that show up at various points for dramatic purposes.

It may seem so at first, but it runs it's course after 2 or 3 levels. I pretty much think any of the Silent Hills or Fatal Frames pretty much run laps around Condemned when it comes to scaryness.
I'm actually playing Rule of Rose right now and it is by far one of the scariest/creepiest games I have played in awhile.

Condemned = Hobo Fighter 2005

I thought it was established long ago that killing hobos is the single greatest fun a man can have.

Diffusionx,
for a guy who hates Nintendo so much, You sure are f#cking obsessed with them. Can you go 3 posts without applying your freaking opinion on them, or would that be too much for you to take?

WE GET IT! YOU DON'T LIKE NINTENDO. No one gives a shit!

Why do you waist so much time on them? It's funny and sad at the same time. :bang:
