As long as you're not some kind of hippy who abhors violence, besides the slightly repetitive level design, the game is a masterpiece of nerve-jangling tension the first time round. However, the linear levels, short length (ten hours of play), story that's never fully explained and lack of multiplayer don't offer much in the way of replay value. Despite this, if you're after genuine scares and great physical combat, Condemned takes some beating.

Forgive the lack of variety and sometimes-baffling storyline, and Condemned is a brilliant undertaking. If you thought Seven and Saw were works of art and Doom and F.E.A.R.

Condemned combines inventive melee-based game play and a real life horror theme to create a terrifyingly gritty, crime themed action game. Condemned: Criminal Origins, a new game from some of same folks behind 2005s action hit F.E.A.R., tells the story of a seasoned FBI investigator plunged into a frightful conundrum when the serial murderers he is charged with hunting down are suddenly murdered themselves.
