I was wondering why so many 360 games seem to have gotten a rating which so many people feel is too low. I belive that one reason is that 360 was discounted by many people to be a great system. When the 360 was released, people were in the whole "won't be good" mindset so many 360 launch games like Kameo, Condemned, Table Tennis etc were not rated well or talked about.

What do YOU think?

I feel that many 360 launch titles were rated TOO HIGH to be honest. And no i'm not a fanboy, i still liked the games considering i play 360 all the time.

I don't think that condemned is underrated. IF anything it's overrated, especially graphics wise. It's a Sega game. Sega isn't really well know, in my experience anyways, to be extremely advanced in the graphics department.

GameSpot doesn't just rate 360 games lower than other sites, it rates most games lower than most sites. GameSpot is more critical than say, IGN.

Graphically, yeah. But it's a great game, that went under a lot of peoples' radars back then, thanks to the more hyped CoD2 and PDZ. A shame, really. One of the early gems of the 360 (And a great PC game, too).

yes it is a great game but it's not up there with the upper echelon of 360 games. I own the game myself so I do't think the game is bad. Just not up to snuff with a few other games on the 360.

Why do you care what something is rated? Old School didn't get great but I still saw it and it just be one of the funniest movies of this decade.

You're entitled to your opinion.

And i'm entitled to think it's absolute crap.

Sega didnt make Condemned,only published.Monolith developed it,the same people who developed F.E.A.R.,and the games beautiful graphically...very beautiful.Condemned is very very underrated,IMO.
