The hunt for a serial killer has never been so terrifyingly
real as you take on the role of Ethan Thomas, an FBI agent
investigating a chilling series of serial murders. As Ethan
you trail a savage killer through tense and detailed urban
environments, becoming accused of the very crimes you are
struggling to solve turning from the hunter to the hunted...
Condemned
is an unnerving psychological horror, where players must
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. It's a bit like CSI meets Resident Evil
(in that you'll get creeped out as much as the first time
you played Resident Evil)
With
danger looming in every shadow, quick thinking will be needed
to keep Ethan alive. 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 Ethan hope to survive the
vicious onslaught from his 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.
As
a launch title they 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.
