I love grindhouse-type horror; the whole game looks dirty, deranged, rotten. Does a great job building ambiance, sound design takes a very important role in delivering the creep factor, and thus building a very stressing, scary and tense atmosphere; in addition, the creative and disturbing enemy designs. Such is the case of the mall level, in which you're on edge constantly as you're being stalked by mannequin-like enemies that blend with the background, keeping you on your toes at all times expecting combat at any minute, not to mention the sounds, music and ambiance that makes this particular level the scariest and my favorite in the whole game.
Condemned was such a great game, I love the fact that this is a 360 launch title, and came at a time in which horror games were great but suffered from wonky controls in general. Controller scheme is kinda uncomfortable but in all fairness you can adjust it however suits you best.
Although it seems that controls and graphics have aged, Condemned is still a great horror game, a very unique and creative one that deviates from the typical horror styles. One of the best horror games I have played, I'd really like a revival of the series either with a remake or a 3rd entry, it's such a creative piece of horror to let it die just like that.
