By far one of the freakiest/scariest games I’ve ever played. I think it even beats out fatal frame. Not to mention the amazing graphics/sound and weapons system.
just got the PC port… I highly suggest giving it a shot if your into survival horror games
Wait until you get to some of the later chapters steve. The department store is freaky as hell, you’ll have fun with that one, or the high school too :eek:
That was the worst part about fatal frame. those fucking japanese kids would just crawl out of nowhere and giggle. Little fuckers. Now that i have joined xbox360 land i should look into this.
In fact, sledge hammers, 2x4s with nails, 2x4s with bolts, locker doors, fireplace pokers, lead pipes, and fire axes are all ripe for bashing against the skulls of bloodthirsty thugs overcome by rage. While the few guns you’ll pick up have only one clip before they must be dropped, the environments provide ample blunt trauma fodder. You’re never empty-handed when you can rip a piece of conduit off the wall one second and plant it between the eyes of a delinquent the next. The number-one rule of Condemned is: if it’s not bolted down you can smack someone upside the head with it. In other words, there’s little need for a rule number two.
The immediacy in this game–it’s all set from a relentless first-person camera–leaves you little time to think. Enemies lunge from shadowsor hide behind pillars just waiting to floss your teeth with a road sign. The ferocity of the attackers is trumped only by the satisfying feeling of momentum when you land a blow or perfectly time a block, which is by no means easy to pull off. Groups will swarm your position, and your only recourse is liberal use of a taser to slow the onslaught. A shot to the chin will sometimes drop attackers to their knees where a snap of the neck or a punch to the temple will finish the job.
