A bit short, but certanly worth playing.... once

User Rating: 8.2 | Condemned: Criminal Origins X360
Condemned was the game with the 360 launch that I was certain to buy. When I just started playing it took a little time to get into the story. I was expecting something like RE4, but both the gameplay and story where little less good.

Condemned is a game which primarily focuses on the scary, dark hallways in which an enemy can come from all most anywhere. The story is a bit thin and quickly written.

After a few levels you'll get the hang of hitting enemies with your 2x4 nails (my favorite) searching the pieces of metal and finding the birds. Then you'll want to play the game till the end. After that maybe one more time (finish the game and find out yourself) for the rest of the achievements and then it's good for the trade or for a place on the shelf.

It took me 11.5hrs to finish the game, a bit shot in comparison to RE4 which I played a few weeks ago. This is a bit disappointing to me, especially the storyline suffers the most from the quick game.

To conclude: A bit short, nothing like RE4, much more scarier, less gameplay, but certainly worth playing.
