This game was the first I ever got for my 360. I remember a friend gave it to me and just told me, "Play it in the dark. You'll love it." See, thing is, I was a wuss back then, and he knew it. But he insisted I played it how it was meant to be. So I did. And it was terrifying, hell it still is. I remember Condemned was one of the first truly horror driven games that I ended up enjoying while also being scared. I attribute Condemned to my current love of horror, and it pushing me to become a huge fan of haunted attractions and the general atmosphere of horror as a whole. I love Condemned, and am so glad it still gets remembered so fondly.

I played Condemned in my basement in the dark. My sister does some sewing as a hobby and she keeps a mannequin down there, so I had one behind my back as I was playing. I did the same thing with Silent Hill 2. I posted that story on a Silent Hill 2 video and everybody thought I was nuts lol. The mannequin isn’t so scary. My sister keeps a pink, floral robe on her. It’s kinda hard to be scared by that. It’s like if Michael Myers wore a Hawaiian shirt.

Probably because it's very hard to write a good story for a game like this. This game and its sequel had stories that made very little sense. You're basically a rogue "detective" that kills anyone and anything that comes across you. I remember playing the first condemned like 15 years ago and only beat it because the horror aspect was done so well, not the story. So then when I tried playing the second one, which has very few gameplay improvements and less horror, I just gave up halfway through because the story was so insanely "out there" and removed from reality with non stop plot holes. No wonder there was never a 3rd game.

I grabbed a crutch, threw it and sprinted after him, elbowing him in the head and him getting tripped by the crutch. I then stomped him out. When I finally got to playing the first one, I did find it unsettling but man, that chase in the house. Scary.

Honestly I LIKE that they didn't keep it completely grounded, because without the supernatural bits it would just be unrealistic about society and crime. Enough people already believe homeless people are violent criminals who will attack strangers with a pipe, when statistically they're far more often victims than perpetrators. I'm glad Condemned felt some explanation was needed, because if Ethan is getting attacked on sight THIS consistently just moving through derelict buildings...that requires some explanation. At least some heavy acknowledgement that the city is *abnormally* violent. Maybe supernatural wasn't the best [tho I enjoyed where Bloodshot took it] but it would be playing into unrealistic stereotypes if the streets were just THAT violent for no discernible reason.

As you said this game was such a good mix of suspense and jump scares that it's really the only horror game I'm to scared to play. Plus the 'realistic' (for its time) style was and still is so much scarier then popular horror games now a days that have a cartoony look. There need to be more suspense horror games instead of jump scares cause jump scares will only scare you in the moment, but the suspense will linger a bit longer, and that's that I miss in early 2000's horror games.

To be honest, a third game would probably be really far fetched in comparison to condemned 2, I mean you have the Oro who are clearly not human anymore, it might strain into resident evil territory, just without a virus as the main plot point. Plus, where do you go after Condemned 2's story ends cannonically? Although a 3rd game would be great if it uses Silent Hills esque visuals for it's hallucination segments and combat similar to resident evil 7 without as many guns.

Both Condemned games showed that you can make a scary horror game with combat in it. Heck, Condemned and Condemned 2 are the only two horror games aside of Silent Hill 2 that were able to really scare me. I'm fed up with all the walking-sim horror games.

Completely agree, games like outlast and amnesia are lame to me. Picking up a pipe and fighting for your life makes sense which is where condemned gets it completely right. Silent Hill too of course

The stiffness and fatigue in the movement MIIIIIIGHT have to do with the fact that he was thrown out of what looked like a 3 story window, landing onto a car roof and hadn't been hospitalized for it the entire game.

I liked this game and forgot it even existed. I think I've become boomer, the old titles are the only thing that seems fun anymore. Thanks for the video

I remember the mall section of the game used to scare as child, this had me on the edge with the mannequins

These are the type of games that actually need a remake.

I remember I had $10 to spare and strolled through the sears game bin that had older games for sale. This game was at the very top of that bin and let’s just say it’s was the best $10 purchase I’ve made. Didn’t think anything of it and have never heard of it prior to that point. One the most underrated and best horror games ever in my opinion. Shame we won’t ever see a condemned 3 tho

Sega should get the team behind Alien: Isolation to remake this game.

I played this game not knowing it was a horror game my anxiety was fuuucked lmao but it really taught me a lot about psychology and survival and arguably helped me when I was homeless
