Condemned: Criminal Origins 2005

Is it still worth playing?

Monolith Productions' 2005 first person psychological thriller with survival horror and action elements, an Xbox 360 launch title also released for Windows in 2006. It follows Ethan Thomas, an agent of the FBI's Serial Crime Unit, who hunts a killer known as the Match Maker in the city of Metro and is framed for murder and pursued by his former colleagues. The play is made of combat and the investigation of crime scenes. Fighting is mostly melee, as firearms are uncommon. You take weapons from your surroundings. They may lie in the open, be forced from the environment, as when a pipe is pulled from a wall, or be taken from an enemy, and enemies can use any weapon you can. Blocking matters, since you can take only a few hits, and a good block leaves the enemy open to a finishing move. Each fight is still decided by what the place hands you.
