Condemned: Criminal Origins features amazingly photorealistic
environments and true-to-life sound effects that transport players directly to the
scene of the crime. Gruesome weapons can be fashioned by clever players from
the
environment: paper-cutter handles, wooden planks, and lead pipes ripped from
walls, can
all be used to attack opponents. The enemy AI is highly intelligent as
well.
Enemies don't merely run at the player; they find an appropriately powerful
weapon
to attack with and then hide in the shadows, waiting for an open
opportunity
to strike.
Condemned: Criminal Origins has also received the following
accolades for its superior gameplay and audio excellence, including the
GameSpot.com
Best of 2005 award for Best Sound Effects, the GameSpy.com editor's choice
award
for Top 5 Xbox 360 Game of the Year, and the IGN.com The Best of 2005
award
for Best Use of Sound.
Condemned: Criminal Origins for the PC is slated to ship in
Spring
2006.
