A survival horror game with a very satisfying story that still leaves you wondering.
User Rating: 8.8 | Condemned: Criminal Origins X360
Even if you beat this game and get all of the game's accomplishments, you will never fully understand this story. However, you will get a brief glimpse into what the story could be. Much like the Silent Hill games before it, Condemned is a very brutal and intense game with a story that you want to get behind. Much of the game relies on your instints and how you use them. Guns are used very rarely and you got to stay on your toes. Condemned takes itself farther than what Silent Hill does in terms of investigating tools. You must use the tools that are given to you in order to continue on with the story. These tools are chosen for you when they are needed. Much to everyone else's dismay; however, I must say that I prefer that over than free range investigating. So, that you never use the wrong tool at the wrong time. The bad parts of this game are that a lot of the beginning areas look the same, and you don't know where you are going and the game isn't very long but the accomplishments and the story will bring you back for more. I hope for a sequel so that I can continue to search for the truth behind what's going on in this bizarre world of Condemned.
