Atmosfera fantastica, cupa al punto giusto, come del resto anche F.E.A.R 1 degli stessi creatori.
Super Consigliato, solo vi consiglio di fare qualche ricerca per sistemare qualche bug che la versione steam presenta.

very underrated. deserves a proper remake or reboot.

rest in peace, monolith.

Love this game. It was my first Xbox 360 game back in the day. Unique gameplay and unfolds like a Thriller Horror movie. Sound design and art all fantastic and it's a great horror. No daft side-quests or 'upgrade' mechanics.

It can be a bit of a challenge to get it to work on PC, though. However, if you follow the process on Nexus Mods, you can update the textures (using "Neural Origins" mod) and unlock framerates to 120/144, easily making this the best version you can play (if you are willing to do the initial effort to update it).

With the mods installed, you might find that the next chapters don't load every now and then, and you will have to restart your PC and it SHOULD load in.

For those that are willing to mod the game, there is a checklist of things you need:

. Neural Origins mod (on Nexus Mods, that updates the textures)
. "4gb_patch" - if you just type this into Google with the name of the game, it will take you to the website
. DirectinputFpsFix (same as above. Without doing this, at has been known to tank performance without it).

If you get this far, I have simplified the instructions, as the mod maker himself isn't every helpful or clear with his instructions, leaving a lot of people to give up. Once you have the above;

• Create a folder named "CondemnedX.Arch00" without the quotation marks, and place it in the "Game" folder directory of the game itself (steamapps, common, Condemned Crimincal Oirigins, Game)
• Place the content of the Zipped Neural Condemned Criminal Origins HD Textures Mod (folders: global and m01-->08) and place in the "CondemnedX.Arch00" folder that you just created - make sure you copy the folders inside "Data" don't add the folder named data itself (just add the ones inside of it)
• Open the "default.archcfg" file with notepad. You will see that it only contains two lines which are the names of the A and L Arch00 files. Add a third line: Game\CondemnedX.Arch00
• Run the "4th GB patch" (not the texture mod, but the patch) and point it to the games main exe and hit "ok"
• Open "autoexec" with notepad and add the line "ScreenRefreshRate" "120" (or 144 - make sure to add the quotation marks, just copy and paste it, then save
• Download DirectInput FPS Fix - Extract and replace "dinput8/dll" with this one in the game directory (or if it is not there, just paste it in anyway).

Following that SHOULD make the mods work, and improve performance.

R.I.P Monolith Productions... Gone but never forgotten.

1994 - 2025

The 2005 masterclass in Horror from Monolith Productions, the same developer responsible for such classics as Blood, No One Lives Forever and Aliens vs Predator 2. Condemned was inspired by films "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Se7en".

Fun fact: Originally released for Xbox 360 in 2005, Monolith released F.E.A.R a month before on PC. Condemned was ported to PC a year later in 2006.

Condemned features a top FPS combat system and great pacing with unsettling atmosphere. The one downside is how heavy and slow the walking is in certain sections, almost feels like you are not even moving.

Finally, a game that appeals to MY male fantasy (killing crackheads)

Great classic, unfortunately the game needs a file to help prevent the fps from dropping in game. The link is from a discussion page on steam that explains it better and will show you how to do it: https://steamcommunity.com/app/4720/discussions/0/3828665650634062132/

Long live Monolith 🫡

Buy this full price, buy this on sale, buy it in your underwear idc this game is seriously my all time favorite. So much so that I got a poster of it on my wall literally. So good with the combat, the horror, EVERYTHING. It did bug on some parts but I kind of expected it to eventually. PLEASE PUT CONDEMNED 2 BLOODSHOT ON STEAM YOU COWARDS I ALSO LOVE THAT GAME

I first played this game in Japan when I was much younger, had more hair and weighed less. Life was less complicated back then.

I downloaded it, and my buddy and I played it, in the dark, late at night.

It was terrifying and awesome. I still remember the theme song which was perfect. Hints of the movie SE7EN.

Kick, hit, taze, we told ourselves as we quickly ran out of bullets and made use of various implements we pulled from walls.

Making your way through condemned buildings, and especially the NY subway system, was beyond anything we had played.

The ending was massively, massively disappointing. The game went from some sort of video game treatise on the broken window theory, crime, societal dysfunction and degeneracy to something completely off topic and science fiction.
