Condemned: Criminal Origins for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

Condemned: Criminal Origins is the perfect example of amazing. It has all of the qualities of a great, mature action adventure game. First of all the graphics are phenomenal, they're dark, gloomy, gritty, and realistic. Sound quality is also well-done with creaking floorboards, bones cracking, and pipes dinging as you clobber the likes of bums, hobos, and junkies. The story is truly immersive, it leads you into a deep mystery that you'll have to find out about for yourself. Being an FBI agent means that you can use forensic tools to hunt down serial killers and solve puzzles. The fun factor really ramps up when you whip out a lead pipe and beat your opponents to a pulp. Don't think that it's that easy though, you'll have to regulate between attack and defense, just flailing your weapon around wont work. Make sure that you are prepared to be scared, because this game will keep you on edge the whole way through. The sounds and insane things that occur around you will make your hairs stand on end. Believe me, in this game the dark isn't your friend. This game is strictly for a mature audience so keep the younger kids away. There is an extreme amount of violence, sadistic situations, and some inappropriate language. For the older gamers this is a first-person experience of a lifetime, so if you like even one of the qualities this game has to offer, you'll love and be surprised by it. You need a HDTV and a decent surround sound system to get the full experience though. So pick it up. I loved it and rate it as one of my personal favorites, and I'm sure you will too.
