Developed
by award-winning
Monolith Productions
for the Xbox 360 video
game and entertainment
system from Microsoft
and the PC, 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.
Special
Features:
-
Next-generation
lighting,
mapping, and
filtering
techniques
provide for
environments of
unprecedented
detail and
visual quality.
-
Intelligent
enemies respond
strategically to
your offensive
and defensive
maneuvers.
-
High-level
physics allow
players to
manipulate
background
items, which
respond
realistically
when picked up,
kicked, or
bumped.
-
A tightly
wound story is
backed with
strong character
development and
major plot
twists.
-
Meticulously
crafted 5.1
surround-sound
will cue players
to the location
of offscreen
enemies.
