This game has not aged well....

Not a bad game but yeesh.. Not pretty to look at..

The game wasn't exactly a "looker" when it released in PC in 2006.
Games from 2005 (FEAR and others) already look better.

But, Condemned brought it's unique horror style and melee combat to PC and it was wonderful.
It sucks SEGA canceled the plans for Condemned 2's PC release, as it is a much better looking title.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this is on the pc, I remember it on the 360, looking at the requirements it could have been on the xbox? This game was so bizzare lol, so personal. Probably would look good on a small screen laptop, just not large displays.

maybe the second condemend looked better, sure. but as a game, its just miles below this one. starts strong but it devolves into another F.E.A.R. with melee executions pretty quick.

First F.E.A.R was incredible, so its not a bad thing imo.

i thought so too when it was new, but have you replayed it recently? it has NOT aged well, level after level of same boring enemies on the same boring office buildings, the bullet time (while fun mechanic when it was new [yes, i know original max payne was the first but it still was pretty new here], is so bland nowadays that every encounter just becomes exactly the same, use bullet time - run to enemies with shotgun, repeat), not scary like AT ALL, and it goes on way too long for what it is. not horrible or anything but really not that great anymore. i replayed the whole series last year and had to rush the first one to the end with bitter taste in my mouth (not that the other 2 were that much better today, just more varied gameplay/level design vise)

on the other hand condemned 1 is still fun to play unlike F.E.A.R. its sometimes even kinda creepy and its fun to beat thugs and junkies with crowbars etc.

just my 2 cents.

Game look great I dont know what your talking about. Im playing on 1080p and 60fps smooth as butter.

Well it is an subjective opinion, but this game does not look good at all to me.. Very ugly textures, and such. Playing at 1080p 144fps so..

I remember when the preview for this game first showed up in GameInformer, They were bragging about how all the levels were "real world" locations and stuff.

[breaking and entering]

Even if you compare this game to similar survival horror games of the time (RE4, Sillent hill 4, ect), the game looks like muddy ♥♥♥♥♥. The textures all look the same and have no dispernable fetures between them. Also, despite the rarther unique gameplay style, it feels really clunky and disjointed, everything moves slowly and nothing feels like it has the weight to it that it should have.

Graphics are not important if you make a good game.

How do u get good framerates? im stuck at 24FPS using a gtx1080. I thought this was an issue related to the age of the game but i now see a possibility for playing this

Thank you dude, this might be right cuz i am using a Logitech Wireless Keyboard, a Logitech Mouse and a Logitech G29 racing wheel

FEAR still looks pretty great, Condemned runs on the exact same engine and came out the same year. The reason it looks like ♥♥♥♥ is because it was made for the 360 and they had to make the graphics crappy for the 360 to be able to run it.

It's too bad they didn't remaster the textures and stuff for the PC version because the engine could definitely handle it.
