It scared the shit out of me.

Anyway, I like the game alot. I give it a 9/10. Amazing graphics, strong gameplay, and great production values. It's a AAA game from a 3rd party that is a new IP, based on MF'n RE4. How can that game not rock?

...and don't listen to the Condemned 1 praises here. That game has some of the most basic controls I've ever seen in a shooter/whatever the hell it is. Boring and repetive as hell. It had great atmosphere, but I feel the original F.E.A.R. was superior in every way. It's already dated as hell, as well.

I strongly disagree. Your arguments here resemble a PS3 fanboy arguing why Killzone 2 is superior to every other game...on paper it seems correct but couldn't be farther from the truth.

First of all, Condemned 1 is scary because its believable with realistic controls and scenarios. Its not a shooter nor is it a ninja gaiden like game...there is no double jumps or power up slow mo guns...game is going for realism and is unique.

And controls are actually great for what they are and not dated at all. Simple block/attack needs skill to pull off unlike most button mash fests. If you try to button mash in the game you will get raped. Sequel made controls a lot "better" but ruined the game by doing so.

The bottom line is that since so many of us are praising the game, its obvious that it does hold some value...the game is a new experience for gamers...nothing like it before or since...which is something you can't say for Dead Space. Dead space, while having AAA production, uses loads of recycled ideas and is a true example of "repetitive as hell."

I was looking for copywright infringment lawsuits from holywood and other games after i played Dead Space.
