Condemned: Criminal Origins allows
players to experience a heightened level of psychological tension as they use their
instincts, forensic tools, and melee/firearms combat to track serial killers and bring them
to justice. Gamers will play as Agent Thomas, an investigator in the FBI’s Serial Crimes
Unit (SCU), whose pursuit of relentless serial killers leads him through urban
environments filled with sociopaths lurking on the periphery of humanity.

Presented in a first-person view for maximum visceral effect, this atmospheric thriller is
best played with the surround-sound up and the lights off. Given the power of nextgeneration
hardware, Condemned: Criminal Origins features photo-realistic backdrops,
life-like physics, and highly sophisticated artificial intelligence. Weapons and
ammunition are scarce, leaving the player vulnerable to a gallery of mentally deranged
criminals. Careful detective work and precision reflexes are a player’s primary means of
survival. Inspired in part by the films of the psychological thriller sub-genre,
Condemned: Criminal Origins maintains an intense, focused pace. Players can never
be sure what waits around each corner.
