Soon, the agent stumbles upon frightening evidence that is about to lead him to the disclosure of terrible secrets, about which he would prefer not to know anything, never under any pretexts. The game invites you to plunge into a gloomy atmosphere where, on behalf of the protagonist, you will rely only on luck, the light of your flashlight, the effectiveness of firearms and bladed weapons and the physical strength of your arms and legs.
The gameplay is a desperate resistance to various kinds of opponents who will shock you from one of their awkward and creepy looks. In order to move forward, the agent will pick locks, hide from opponents, fight them in close combat and survive in any way. And it will depend on the player's actions how effective this resistance will be in this sensational horror film Condemned: Criminal Origins. The main character began to move more slowly, and also in this part he cannot jump.
Despite the fact that all the dregs of society are encroaching on our hero, we have to use all our skills to cope with ordinary opponents. There are also occultists in the game, famous for their self-mutilation. They are especially worth looking out for. You may be standing in a deserted Metro station jumping at the sound of a falling tin can clattering onto the floor, or you may be trying to work out exactly where in your environs a chattering madman is hiding - but you'll always be sitting somewhere in the vicinity of the edge of your seat.
Don't tell the Daily Mail, but in Condemned beating thugs to death with blunt instruments feels really, really good. This sudden surge of violence among the down-and-outs and your unfortunate solitude in a series of run-down locations, is all tied to a serial killer called The MatchMaker.
You play FBI Agent Ethan Thomas, hot on the trail of the aforementioned mentalist and his bloody modus operandi of setting up murder victims in gruesome tableaux, with shop-floor mannequins and their faces scratched off.
Quite why the homeless are going nuts is explained later on, as is the game's , fascination with dead birds, but suffice to say two levels into the game Thomas has been accused of a 'crime that he did not commit M and is very much on his lonesome, bar the help of a mysterious stranger 'who may or may not be what he seems'.
As an FBI agent you also have a few gadgets up your sleeve - not least a handy torch that never runs out of batteries! When you discover crime scenes, meanwhile, you get a cool laser camera, nifty sample taker and a Basic Instinct-type, homicide-spunk-torch although to be honest I haven't come across any of that yet - mainly fingerprints and chemicals. With these in hand, you can send off evidence at heavily-prompted moments to a friendly scientific lady, who fills you in on what horrors you're witnessing - while REAR.
Whether or not the appeal of the fierce hand-to-hand combat lasts the whole game will be discovered come our review next issue - but there's no doubt that the limited availability of bullets and firearms brings a remarkable amount of intensity to the game.
Its slow pace too, makes you notice the minutiae of the game far more than you would in pacier games like REAR, or Quake 4. Even something as simple as seeing three bullet holes in a reinforced window and three corresponding holes in the wall opposite with a splash of blood seems quite special. If there's one area, however, that Condemned is due to thoroughly excel in, it's the sound effects.
They're fundamentally magisterial - from the thumping and bumping of a nutjob racing around on the floor above you, to the staccato chuntering abuse they give you as they try to dash out your brains with a crowbar.
Forget the fear of a botch-job conversion, Monolith really could be onto something special with this. I enjoy being scared. Horror is one of my fascinations, and a good scary film is usually the perfect combination of creepy and strange to suit my mood. Just such a game is Condemned, one of the most nicely immersive titles I've seen. It pits you, as FBI Agent Ethan Thomas, against a host of serial killers, all of whom are at the center of a bizarre and twisted phenomenon.
In the dark alleys and slums of the city, there lies an evil, and evil that twists and changes people, turning them into psychopathic killers. Make no mistake, this game is rated M for good reason, it is dark and frightening. There's only a very minimal interface, with some very basic prompts for context sensitive actions in the game.
For instance, in the presence of clues, you'll automatically be able to bring out a search tool to find forensic evidence. Once you've found it, you'll use a collection tool to actually gather the evidence. However, the primary gameplay mechanic you'll use is fighting with improvised weapons. It takes a fair amount of work to get used to this, but once you learn how to block reliably, you'll be able to fight multiple enemies somewhat effectively.
Along the way you'll get one major benefit, a 'mind's eye' mode that gives you small hints and clues. Visually, I was quite happy with Condemned , as it features people that look much more realistic than ever envisioned before, and the dark, shadowy slums contain a perfect amount of clutter and damage, making them look much more convincing.
I can't say as I had anything to complain about on the audio side, as I enjoyed the voice acting as well as the atmospheric effects. Unfortunately, there isn't much in what I'd call replay value, although secret pickups in the game can open a lot of extra material to read inside the game. All in all, I'd say that Condemned ranks up there with other adventure titles, and certainly seems to provide a more quality experience than most.
Two thumbs up, and were I a gorilla, that'd be four. You must be logged in to post a comment. Highly Compressed Zip. Login Sign Up.
