Experience an unnatural level of psychological tension as
you use your instincts and forensic tools to track down serial
killers and bring them to justice. Take on the role of Ethan
Thomas, an FBI agent, whose pursuit of relentless serial killers
leads him through detailed environments filled with terrifyingly
real sociopaths who lurk on the periphery of humanity. Features
amazingly photo-realistic environments and true-to-life sound
effects that transport players directly to the scene of the
crime. Gruesome weapons can be fashioned by clever players
from the environment: paper-cutter handles, wooden planks
and lead pipes ripped from walls can all be used to attack
opponents...
In
Condemned you take on the role of Ethan Thomas, an
FBI agent who is on the trail of brutal serial killers. Investigating
a chilling series of serial murders, you must track your unknown
murderers through tense and detailed urban environments, becoming
accused of the very crimes you are struggling to solve turning
from the hunter to the hunted.
At
it's core the game is an unnerving psychological horror that
forces players to rely on their own sharp instincts and a
collection of sophisticated forensic tools to help them investigate
crime scenes, collect evidence, and find clues that will inevitably
lead them to the killer. Imagine CSI crossed with The
Suffering and you'll have some idea where this
game is coming from.
With
danger lurking around every corner, only those that are quick
thinkers will be able to stay alive in. By scavenging from
the environment, players are able to choose between an array
of close combat weapons such as the fire axe, shovel or crow
bar - only by using the right weapon at the right time can
you hope to survive the vicious onslaught from your possessed
attackers. But it's not just obvious objects you can use against
your attackers. At a push, a mannequin's arm comes in handy
as an affective weapon to slap your assailants with. There
are so many improvised weapons awaiting you that you'll never
ceased to be amazed at how ingenious your environment is used.
There
are a few ballistic weapons scattered around, but not many.
And those that you do find have very limited ammunition. It's
wise to use these sparingly, and get in close for the kill
whenever possible.
While fighting is the main part of the game, collecting evidence
and analysing it is an important component of your success.
Keeping in contact (via PDA) with Rosa, in the lab, is essential
- as she'll be processing all the evidence you send her.
Games
don't come much more atmospheric than this. The graphics and
sound are some of the best I've seen in a game of this style.
And you'll need a spare pair of underpants - this is one scary
game you won't want to play alone, with the light off.
