While I have played and beaten this numerous times with Steam, I'm still amazed by its tone and look. Sure, the story is dark and gritty, so it's easy to make fun of it, but I was still intrigued by where the plot would take me, especially at the end of the game. I want this game to be on GOG because I feel it has been forgotten, especially compared to other popular horror games like Silent Hill and Resident Evil. If it does come to GOG, I hope players who want to play it don't have to download a patch or two just to run it.

One of the best thriller games. The environments are very well crafted and immersive. Investigative sections may be a little simplistic, but move the story along. The mixture of on-the-ground detective work while battling supernatural forces kept me on edge.

Perfect game for Halloween for everyone born in the 90s. Let it be preserved for everyone and have it grace every person´s game libraries just as much as others like Resident Evil series, Amnesia and Silent Hill. It absolutely doesn´t deserve to be forgotten ^-^

After WB Games just shutdown Monolith Productions yesterday (25/02/2025), it is more important than ever ALL IPs from now-defunct Monolith Productions are preserved! In the case o Condemned: Criminal Origins, there is a superior first-person combat, lots of dreadful atmosphere, investigations, exploration, and lots of weapons taken from environment to survive, where not even using guns is safe enough. Please, let's preserve this game forever!

RIP Monolith and F@#K you, David Zaslav and Warner Bros. for shutting them down! I know the OG teams are gone, but hey the name MONOLITH still means something. I played this twice. Both on Xbox 360 and Steam, which the latter suffered loads of issues that required unofficial patch. The controllers are a bit broken, because it doesn't support XInput. But you might be asking "This game was released for Xbox 360, how the f@#K did it not get XInput support?" That's because controllers are still Primitive for PC users that they only need K+M to play the game in 2006. Hope SEGA and Jace Hall brought this game here and fast.

Great mystical atmosphere, interesting fights with enemies, environment and story, this game has bypassed f.e.a.r. in many ways. I think this game needs a remaster or a full remake so that new gamers who might have missed this hidden gem can get acquainted with it.
This was the best Xbox-exclusive psychological horror FPS I've ever played. It was criminally insane for warner bros to close the very studio of this unforgettable horror gem. It deserved everyone's attention, and hoping for controller support on the PC
The game that actually got me into the horror genre. Maybe WB was better off making a sequel to this series instead of putting Monolith on a game that cost millions in lost profit and many people their jobs....

Monolith's games have left a lasting impression on me, and FEAR in particular is one of my favorite games. I'd love to be able to discover their games that I haven't yet had the chance to play, and condemned is one of them. For monnolith's sake ! <3
