Yes.  If you liked Bioshock, you should like Condemned C.O.  for many of the same reasons.  However, like Bioshock, it is single-player only.

If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't be called research.

it's a rental. but save your money, go buy it used at gamestop and beat it within the week, then return. i beat it in 3 or 4 play sessions.  i didn't care for it, especially after playing bioshock, ther is no comparison. imho of course.

If you have gamefly I would suggest just renting, beating, and returning. That's actually what I'm doing at the moment. It's a decent game just not something I think I would play over and over again at all.

I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

I just got it on ebay for 9 bucks with free shipping. Pretty good bargain.

I think it's a decent game.. it was better when it first came out, because there was a smaller competition, but it is what it is. I like it.

I got mine for free as part of a buy 1 get 1 free deal.  However, it was only marked at $15, imo, it is definitely worth it.  There are some genuinely freaky moments in this game.

I say yeah it's totally worth it, definitely my favorite game. However that's just me. I could just have an odd taste in video games. ^^;

I can honestly say that I bought this game, played through the first three levels and they put it down never to touch it again.  It's now an official dust collector.  I'm not sure what people saw in this game but timing a block correctly with a piece of wood should not be the most exciting part of gameplay for god sakes.  This game had oodles of atmosphere I will give it that.

I just got it yesterday in the mail for $10 shipped on eBay. Living alone and playing on a 6' projection screen with surround sound at night enhances the game quite a bit. Pissed myself about half dozen times, other than that it seems like a decent game. However, I'm not sure of the replay value.

Lego Indiana Jones 50/50 - Cloning Clyde 12/12 - Worms 12/12

Its nice to see a game like this every now and then. Im more of a FPS & racing fan, But playing this game in the right conditions( lights OFF and sound UP) is a definate thrill IMO. I love the atmosphere in this game. Its great to hear somthing rustle behind you, turn around, and find nothing.............then  outta nowere some crazy bum smacks u in the head with a conduit from behind, then disappear into the shadows!!!

 

Gets me every time

I agree with most, but it's still a short game
Condemned can be finished within a few days, and all the achievements can be acquired in two or three run throughs. With no multiplayer and little replay value... it's definately a rental (or a cheap pick up) to play before Condemned 2.
IMO that is.

Yes, Condemned : Criminal Origins is DEFINITELY worth buying, especially since its so cheap now. It is, in my opinion, the greatest game on XB360. Here are my reasons :

Sound - No other game on XB360 does sound the way Condemned does. The atmosphere produced by the ambient sounds and music alone will scare the living *** out of you, that is of the enemies don't do it first.

Pace - No other game on XB360 paces itself the way Condemned does. Granted, there aren't that many survival horror games on XB360, but the pacing increases the tension level to the max.

Gameplay - No other game on XB360 plays quite like Condemned, with the exception of Condemned 2, although Condemned 2 is different in several ways. The melee combat in Condemned was revolutionary, as no game before had anything like it. Unlike other melee combat systems in other games, Condemned's combat system actually takes skill to use.

Enemy A.I. - No other game on XB360, nor any other console TO DATE, has enemy A.I. that is even on the same level as Condemned. The enemy A.I. is so smart, their intelligence scares you. The enemies in Condemned run for cover if you have a firearm and will flank around you in order to sneak up and take it from you, they will search for more powerful weapons if your current weapon is superior to theirs, while playing on Hard I've even seen them retreat when wounded and break open a medical cabinet and use a medkit.

There you have it, plenty of reasons to buy Condemned. I'd recommend Condemned 2 also, but let me be clear. As a fan of the series, I consider Condemned : Criminal Origins to be better than Condemned 2 : Bloodshot.

I've also heard the 2nd one wasnt as good/indepth.

Of course i also heard the 2nd one has a badass grizzly bear and honestly there is no creature on earth scarier than a grizzly bear (besides maybe a bull elephant).

first 360 12/16/06-3/30/08 8/1/08-PRESENT

nope i wouldnt say it is. one of the first games i got with my xbox and havnt touched it on over a year i couldnt get in to it. maybe it just isnt for me but i wouldnt recomend it

This game IS absolutely worth getting!! I love it!!!

It's one of my favorite games on the Xbox.. first time I played it, I was SOOO creeped out!!! You must like horror and/or survival horror to get into this game.

Replay value is high on this game, in my opinion, as long as you don't try to play it again in the same month. I've played it three times now, within about 2 years. It's one of those games where you think one day 'Hmmm, omg, I LOVED that game! I want to play it right now!'

So for less than $10, I'd advise you to TOTALLY buy it and KEEP it!!! You won't regret it as long as you're into the horror genre!!!

The game is awesome, it is definitely worth having.

Full retail price?  No.  Game Stop used price?  Definitely.

i know a lot of people have responded but i'd like to throw in my 2 cents.

the game is worth a rental - in my opinion it doesn't offer much replay value. i rented it once, beat it within a couple of days and felt like I got everything out of it that i could, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. once you beat the game I doubt you'll want to play it again because you know everything that's going to happen around every corner.

if you can get it under $20, i'd say get it so you can take your time, which would make it a lot better. if not then just rent it.

I got it for 20 bucks.. can't beat the value. If you like scary games where weird people jump out at you.. this game is for you!
