I picked up Condemned along with some other games at launch, and I have to say that it is clearly the most ambitious game for 360 to date. Although I would no say it’s the best game out for the system, it brings something new to the table. A whole new first-person melee oriented horror game is created here using ideas previously seen, but this game brings them all together with ease and the game isn't overly hard as I feared it may be. It is just challenging and fun. The graphics and sound for Condemned are phenomenal. The gameplay is very smooth and works well even though it uses every button on the controller including all four directions on the d-pad. Condemned is a must have for mature 360 owners, for it is the doorway to the next generation of console graphics and sound and physics. Pick it up or get it via Gamefly. You will not regret it.
