Condemned (series) in numbers

Condemned and Condemned 2

History Background: 10
The events that are told in Condemned are among the most engaging I've ever seen, the plot is mysterious and full of plot twists that each time will change radically the story set-up. The locations then, loads of atmosphere, tell themselves making us understand, only to watch them, what's passing Metro City and its people, including the poor agent Ethan Thomas, who will be overwhelmed by situations surrealistic and full of tension and will be forced to investigate on a mysterious individual. Trust me when I tell you that we are facing one of the most beautiful stories ever told in a video game without forgetting that Condemned 2 ends, leaving space for a sequel.


Graphics: 8
Graphically, we face a valid product, cured in the details that has all it takes to make us empathize with the events of the agent Ethan Thomas. Of course, we are not to the levels of the more famous games, but the work done by the guys of Monolith Productions is very good and stylistically exceptional, especially in Condemned 2.


Characters which have left the mark: 7
Despite being a strong character and in some ways original, Ethan Thomas, unfortunately,has not reached a very high notoriety among gamers. This is probably because Condemned has sold less than other games but also because the characters of the FPS games are usually less visible than others.


Entertainment: 9
The game is basically an FPS in which guns are rare and therefore, to fight the bums and drugged, we will forced to make use of melee weapons that are scattered in the dark streets of Metro City. The combat system is interesting and fun (especially in Condemned 2) and gives several satisfactions since the first bars of play between fisticuffs and kicks but Condemned is not just beating, infact between a fight and the other we will also investigate some murders using tools of the trade to detect fingerprints,blood and much more.


Innovation through the ages: 8
Condemned is a game quite original, both in gameplay and plot. Even among the first and second chapter is looking for some innovation in the plot and in the gameplay and I must say that it has paid off.


Fear: 10
Condemned is one of the most frightening games I've ever had. From the beginning at the end of the two games, you'll always holding breath to try to understand from where comes the danger and WHEN it comes, in fact (thanks to the excellent work done by developers) you will never know when your heart will suffer yet another stop but you get the feeling that can happen at any time.Amazing!


Overall: 8.7
A very interesting and engaging series, from the same creators of F.E.A.R.
