This game was the first I ever got for my 360. I remember a friend gave it to me and just told me, "Play it in the dark. You'll love it." See, thing is, I was a wuss back then, and he knew it. But he insisted I played it how it was meant to be. So I did. And it was terrifying, hell it still is. I remember Condemned was one of the first truly horror driven games that I ended up enjoying while also being scared. I attribute Condemned to my current love of horror, and it pushing me to become a huge fan of haunted attractions and the general atmosphere of horror as a whole. I love Condemned, and am so glad it still gets remembered so fondly.

I played Condemned in my basement in the dark. My sister does some sewing as a hobby and she keeps a mannequin down there, so I had one behind my back as I was playing. I did the same thing with Silent Hill 2. I posted that story on a Silent Hill 2 video and everybody thought I was nuts lol. The mannequin isn’t so scary. My sister keeps a pink, floral robe on her. It’s kinda hard to be scared by that. It’s like if Michael Myers wore a Hawaiian shirt.

Probably because it's very hard to write a good story for a game like this. This game and its sequel had stories that made very little sense. You're basically a rogue "detective" that kills anyone and anything that comes across you. I remember playing the first condemned like 15 years ago and only beat it because the horror aspect was done so well, not the story. So then when I tried playing the second one, which has very few gameplay improvements and less horror, I just gave up halfway through because the story was so insanely "out there" and removed from reality with non stop plot holes. No wonder there was never a 3rd game.

I grabbed a crutch, threw it and sprinted after him, elbowing him in the head and him getting tripped by the crutch. I then stomped him out. When I finally got to playing the first one, I did find it unsettling but man, that chase in the house. Scary.

Honestly I LIKE that they didn't keep it completely grounded, because without the supernatural bits it would just be unrealistic about society and crime. Enough people already believe homeless people are violent criminals who will attack strangers with a pipe, when statistically they're far more often victims than perpetrators. I'm glad Condemned felt some explanation was needed, because if Ethan is getting attacked on sight THIS consistently just moving through derelict buildings...that requires some explanation. At least some heavy acknowledgement that the city is *abnormally* violent. Maybe supernatural wasn't the best [tho I enjoyed where Bloodshot took it] but it would be playing into unrealistic stereotypes if the streets were just THAT violent for no discernible reason.

There's actually a lot of subtle hints towards the cult, like all the eye graffiti in every level showing that you're always being watched, and it's not just one eye but multiple eyes, and certain items and even the little writing in the loading screen of all the missions hint towards it, kinda like doing detective work you have to look at the clues and hints then it starts to make more sense

This game is a wonderful masterpiece that should of gotten another sequel after part 2. Put the suspense of "Manhunt", creepy environments of "Saw", & a dab of "The Suffering". Stir it in a pot & you'll have a tasty potluck of horror greatness. The storyline & location draws you in because everyone who plays this game want to solve the "Spooky Who Done It" tale by using your resources. Your forensic kits to gather evidence & data. You use your camera to take evidence & send them to your partner "Rosa" for analysis. Then you get to explore a environmental open areas to go toe to toes fighting off homeless drug addicts to avoiding rats during jump scares. I believe "Criminal Origins," is way superior than the 2nd part. "Blood Shot" felt it came up too short. The Devs wanting to take the brand in a new direction. But in my opinion that move killed any exciting about the second part. My advice to you all play this first l....get familiar with the characters (Malcolm Van Horne), ,(Rosa), (Leland Van Horne aka Serial Killer X). Take your time to explore the areas & pay close attention to mission clues & Easter eggs. Cut your lights out & play this in the dark. I guarantee you this game will live up to your standards. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊r

I remember it being my first Xbox game, and then Oblivion. I always talk to people about horror games, and it saddens me that most of them have hardly ever heard of the game.

That locker scene has stuck with me ever since I watched my dad play this game on his Xbox. Any time I think of a horror game that really left a scare mark on me it's this game. As you said this game was such a good mix of suspense and jump scares that it's really the only horror game I'm to scared to play. Plus the 'realistic' (for its time) style was and still is so much scarier then popular horror games now a days that have a cartoony look. There need to be more suspense horror games instead of jump scares cause jump scares will only scare you in the moment, but the suspense will linger a bit longer, and that's that I miss in early 2000's horror games.

To be honest, a third game would probably be really far fetched in comparison to condemned 2, I mean you have the Oro who are clearly not human anymore, it might strain into resident evil territory, just without a virus as the main plot point. Plus, where do you go after Condemned 2's story ends cannonically? Although a 3rd game would be great if it uses Silent Hills esque visuals for it's hallucination segments and combat similar to resident evil 7 without as many guns.

Man I want to play this game and the sequel soooooo bad, the fact that it takes a lot of notes from the film Seven, the nasty scenarios and grim gore from Saw and the messed up tension of Silence of the Lambs.

Great video dude! Condemned is one of my favorite games as well. Also...about the Dissociative Identity Disorder thing....that's not how it works. I understand they made Ethan start to go crazy in the story, but someone with DID wouldn't start killings like that. There is a bunch more detail I could go into but yeah, that's the basics of it.

Yeah, I'm sure DID doesn't work like that in real life, but if shows like criminal minds can run with a plot point like that and make a decent story I bet a video game would fare just fine with it hahaha

Yeah "Serial Killer X" is the nephew of 'Malcolm Van Horne" "Leland Van Horne". The game was an awesome blend of shock scares, beautifully written story about tracking down a killer while going on a journey to clear your name & gain sense of your mind. You like this one ho back & play the second part too..... 🤠😎🤠😎🤠😎🤠😎🤠

Amazing game and an amazing review. I played Condemended last year on my 360 and even after all these years its amazing. Although the graphics are rough these days the game pulls you in with its amazing atmosphere and world.

Monolith has done several of my fav games and this imo, was one of the first FPS type melee games to become popular. The shopping store is the best level when the mannequins follow you around. It's creepy as hell. The graphics and controls don't hold up today though I'm afraid.

This series deserves a remake or a proper hd remaster. Besides pc, this game runs and looks pretty well upscaled on xbox one x or the new series consoles.

I remember I had $10 to spare and strolled through the sears game bin that had older games for sale. This game was at the very top of that bin and let’s just say it’s was the best $10 purchase I’ve made. Didn’t think anything of it and have never heard of it prior to that point. One the most underrated and best horror games ever in my opinion. Shame we won’t ever see a condemned 3 tho

The stiffness and fatigue in the movement MIIIIIIGHT have to do with the fact that he was thrown out of what looked like a 3 story window, landing onto a car roof and hadn't been hospitalized for it the entire game.
