Condemned: CO

The Good
- Visually it's very unique and stylish, interesting direction. - Same can be said about sound design & music. - Visceral enemy encounters. - Most of the time the game looks very good for 2005.

The Bad
- Story intrigues at first but descends into incoherent madness as you get closer to the ending. - Levels are mostly consists of abandoned buildings of different origin and almost every one of them is incredibly bland. - Annoying backtracking, very bulky and clumsy controls. - The engine can barely keep itself from breaking apart at this point.

The Bottom Line
A guilty pleasure. It's not really great, but i like it.
