Customer Rating:      Summary: Too scary! Comment: If you love scary games, then this is the one for you! It was very hard for me to play it in the dark (especially since the entire game is in the dark) but it got done. There's plenty of things in the game that will make you jump and maybe scream. It's a very good game overall with a good plot and ending.
Customer Rating:      Summary: First person survival horror? Who knew. Comment: This was quite the experience. Yes, experience. I seldom use that word when describing video games because I like to save it for the truly special ones.
I can't help but feel like this game slipped under the radar and didn't get it's deserved praise, so maybe this review will help a tiny bit with that.
What I like about the game is that it's realistic. You're not chasing zombie aliens from planet X in the year 2059... you're chasing a serial killer, and every location you visit is a real, dirty place you or I could walk to any time we wished. That's what makes for a scary game, IMO. Sure, there are some unexplainable sci-fi elements to it, but they don't get in the way of the story too much. You're still visiting real local and dealing with real, human enemies.
One part that stood out for me was towards the end of the game when you're inside a house. There's a piano blocking the way and before you can take care of it you have to fight a wave of enemies because you need one of the items they are carrying. So, what I did was back into a dark closet and watch as they ran around a corner, chopping at the bit to kill me. It was epic and I'll always remember that moment when I think of this game.
Of course there were many more scary happenings, but that one stands out for me personally.
You should give this game a chance, no matter what. I don't care if you hate first person games, scary games or fighting games... it's an experience.
If you like it, the second one has more of the same.
Customer Rating:      Summary: boring Comment: could have been a good game, but too much time is wasted just running up & down corriders with nothing in them. maybe condemed 2 is better? I can never figure out why video game companies spend so much time and money on games that are just Boring
Customer Rating:      Summary: Fun Game Comment: Very challenging, and nothing like I thought it would be from the cover. The story line is very good.
Customer Rating:      Summary: another csi investigation but great game Comment: This game was creepy not scary but creepy, the effects were great the storyline was great. This was a mystirious game cause what if the underground is lurked with strange disfigured people and people that crawl i already no that bums live underground but what if everthing in this game is true, but otherwise this was a great fun game. It starts of with a detective to solve a murder from the hands of a phyco path but then 2 police officers got shot and killed by the phyco path murder'er, then the other police officers acused the detective of killing the 2 police office'rs but then things got worst, the detective and that other women had to solve crimes by not only the murder'er someone else was behind it all to, so as i continued the story the game started to get very interesting and very great it was like watching a horror movie and playing at the sametime, so back to what i was saying the there was'nt only one murder'er there was two causeing deaths, as the detective was solveing the murder case'es he was'nt alone there were creepy looking people that he had to fight over to succead his mission, through the game the detective was solveing pure evil and unsolved case'es quite sad to but this was a great game.
