Product Description
Condemned: Criminal Origins allows players to experience a heightened level of psychological tension as they use their instincts, forensic tools, and melee/firearms combat to track serial killers and bring them to justice. Gamers will play as Agent Thomas, an investigator in the FBI's Serial Crimes Unit (SCU), whose pursuit of relentless serial killers leads him through urban environments filled with sociopaths lurking on the periphery of humanity.
Presented in a first-person view for maximum visceral effect, this atmospheric thriller is best played with the surround-sound up and the lights off. Given the power of nextgeneration hardware, Condemned: Criminal Origins features photo-realistic backdrops, life-like physics, and highly sophisticated artificial intelligence. Weapons and ammunition are scarce, leaving the player vulnerable to a gallery of mentally deranged criminals. Careful detective work and precision reflexes are a player's primary means of survival. Inspired in part by the films of the psychological thriller sub-genre, Condemned: Criminal Origins maintains an intense, focused pace. Players can never be sure what waits around each corner.
FEATURES:
Next-generation lighting, mapping, and filtering techniques provide for environments of unprecedented detail and visual quality.
Intelligent enemies respond strategically to your offensive and defensive maneuvers.
High-level physics allow players to manipulate background items, which respond realistically when picked up, kicked, or bumped.
A tightly wound story is backed with strong character development and major plot twists.
Meticulously crafted 5.1 surround-sound will cue players to the location of offscreen enemies.

Short but memorable
 Reviewed by Aaron from Auckland, NZ on October 19th, 2007
This was a great game. I got it a few days ago and have already passed it. What makes it worth a purchase then? Its got great atmosphere and its a very scary game. You will need a high end PC to run it though. The graphics are stunning, the gameplay is very unique...you get to use forensic tools to gather evidence which is a very intriguing aspect of the game especially when an enemy is coming at you with a plank of wood with nails in it. The gameplay is very brutal...in fact this is the closest thing we will ever get to Manhunt over here so buy it and enjoy. It took around 10 hours or less to complete but was worth every minute of it. This game makes you feel like you dont want the chracter to be killed because of the storyline and graphics. The finishing moves to kill your enemy are a nice touch as well. Thank goodness you can kick though coz trust me it comes in handy. All in all a fantastic and very worthwhile experience that you will not forget anytime soon.

Incredible atmosphere...
 Reviewed by Tim from Christchurch, NZ on July 17th, 2007
Very enjoyable game, vicious combat and an absolutely amazing atmosphere, this game really does have you on the edge of your seat throughout. Some have complained about the story (in particular, how it ends, but I felt it was fine) and the length of time it takes to complete and lack of replayability (justified, to be honest) but that hardly matters when you have this much fun for $30!
Honestly, play it at night with the lights off... I screamed like a little girl in some parts, particularly in the school locker room... you'll see what I mean...
