Great game. Loved the sound design.

Yup. It’s what got me into surround sound.
There’s a level in a basement. The surround sound of that might be the most chilling sound design I have ever experienced, even to this day.

This game was amazing. I miss it. Was a looker too.

Excellent game, such a damn fucking shame the sequel isn't BC on Xbox.
FYI, anyone who picks this up on Xbox now, the game runs at a locked 45hz for some bizarre reason. If you have a VRR display, the game will be extremely smooth.

It was scary as fuck as a teen and the HD graphixxx were crazy for the time.
The early X360 games were amazing to look at if you compare them to PS2.

Both of those games make you feel like you need to take a shower. So damn grimy and gross.
I had it downloaded on my 360 that RROD'd but I still have Bloodshot (the sequel) on PS3.
Awesome games.

One of the first games I used to test my new (old) Trinitron CRT monitor.
Difficult to set up, controls are a nightmare to bind.

I remember it was one of the first next-gen games for the 360, but I never played it because I was a bit too young back then for these types of games. Might pick a used copy up and try it via BC on my One X.

Excellent game, it was a launch title for the PC and Xbox 360 generation, I played it on PC and I loved it, the sequel was good but strange in the story.
I'm still waiting for a Condemned 3... But Warner Bros. doesn't have the courage to release a sequel, especially not in these times.
I liked the fact that it was compared to the movie seven.

One of my first 360 games, it was nextgen already. I remember we played with my sister and we could only play while playing music in the background as it was that scary

Condemned 2 doesnt get enough attention. There's a level where a fucking bear is chasing you through a large house. The scene is incredible and the concept alone shouldve gotten the game mutiple GOTY awards.

And this is exactly fucking why EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE ON PC.
So that 20 years later you can still play it. Keep circulating the tapes!

I bought this when it became BC on Xbox and it scared the shit out of me. I think I only made it up to the 3rd level

Oh yeah. The game is creepy as hell. It plays off that fear of being stuck in an abandoned part of a city.I bought this when it became BC on Xbox and it scared the shit out of me. I think I only made it up to the 3rd level
It is similar to Silent Hill.

Fantastic 360 launch gem. Amazing atmosphere along with a compelling first person combat system. Bashing a bum over the head with a pipe has never felt so good. It’s funny as I always considered the game Outlast to be almost a spiritual successor.

Loved both of them, it was brutal and the atmosphere was so good,truly scary. You never knew when you would get a pipe or 2×4 to your head when a hobo would whack you from behind.
Literally make you jump out your seat.
Played it again about 6 months ago and enjoyed it.
Was one of my first 360 games so good memories.

It's a shame the series never took off. Still annoyed that Condemned 2 and The Darkness are still stuck on that generation of systems.

Launch 360 era was actually quite good, more than that I gave it credit for. There was some draught in 2006, but within 6 months give or take there were Condemned, PGR3, DoA4, CoD2, GR:AW, Oblivion, Fight Night, Chromehounds.
Condemned was in fact my first game. I bought a used copy with my console. And I think I took PGR3 as well. Condemned was pretty fucking good. For some reason I never played the second game.

Said it before, but we were eating good that gen. So many good, interesting and different titles coming out. The tech was good, but the not so difficult we couldn't get a consistent number of titles out within a decent time frame.

Don't know why this game is not on GOG. I replayed it last year on X360.
It has awesome atmosphere. Combat is simple, it motivates the player to use bullets wisely and the investigation side is cool.
I thought the levels were a little monotonous to be honest, especially when you are underground. The story is confusing and ambiguous but at the same time is interesting.
Anyway the game is fantastic! As for Condemned 2, i think the changes made it tedious to play.
