Condemned auf IGN getestet.: 8,7 (great)
Einige Zitate:
"Aside from excellent texture work and level of detail, the enemy animations are really what stand out visually. Addicts and some of the creepier beings you meet later on move with a disturbing fluidity that will have you slamming feverishly on the right trigger to bash them in their faces. If you knock an enemy's weapon out of their hands, they'll frantically look around as if they were genuinely panicked and acutely concerned that they'd no longer be able to kill you as brutally as they wanted to. At other times, enemies will spit blood out of their mouths when you've hit them in the face. If it wasn't already obvious, your enemies in Condemned want you to die very, very badly, which is another reason the game is so frightening. They charge at you with a shocking amount of ferocity reflected by the way they eagerly swing their weapons. Some of the later enemies approach you by crawling across the floor like some sort of jittery lizards, so you'll definitely want to use the bathroom before loading this title up."
"There are also special graphical effects that accompany your breaks in sanity. When you're about to have a psychotic episode or premonition, the screen will be blanketed in a grain filter. You'll soon after suffer from hallucinations and see shadows and strange shapes of characters flitting just beyond the periphery of your vision, much like in F.E.A.R. for the PC. You'll need to stay alert in these sequences since in some of them you're attacked by grotesque foes that can deal actual damage to you. The hallucinations are yet another example of how this game is able to draw you in and scare the crap out of you."
"Not only do enemies move in a highly realistic fashion, they also behave intelligently. They'll run away from you at times and hide behind walls, then pop out and bust you up as soon as you approach. Occasionally they'll even completely run away from you so you won't know where they are, then pop out at the most unexpected times."
"If available, you'll definitely want to run this title in HD and with a surround sound setup to get the full experience, especially the surround sound. On a regular 4:3 television this game is still going to look really good, but you're not going to get all the grisly detail that pulls you into Condemned's game world so effectively. After all, where's the fun in headbutting someone if you can't see the blood that's pooling in the corners of their eyes."
