SEGA's Condemned: Criminal Origins arrived as an innovative yet flawed Xbox 360 launch title, but is worth revisiting on modern consoles.

We can only hope that we will at least get a port to the Condemned 2: Bloodshot game on PC and current-gen consoles, or why not a sequel someday soon? One can only dream."
Condemned was amazing! Had a really cool multi-player as well, such a shame it we never got another one after 2. Brings back some great memories on the 360. Condemned was definitely one of the first games I picked up for the 360. Loved the atmosphere and the amount of melee items you could utilize. Would really love if Microsoft could somehow reboot this franchise!
I never got to play the MP for 2 but my brother always mentions about how good it was.
It's a shame we never got a third game. The original was better than the second, in my opinion, but that's far from saying the second was bad.
Ive never been more scared of a game than the doctor who esque weeping angels mannequins in the sequel
As one of the best methodical, slow-burn horror games of last generation, Condemned: Criminal Origins really deserves a remake.
This is one of the scariest games I played on my 360. I kept it, cause if was a instant classic.
I remember when the first trailers for Xbox 360/PS3 games were coming out, this was the first game that screamed Next-gen to me. It still looks good now
"Going back to the Xbox 360 catalog has been purifying. I'm sorry Microsoft has stopped, for now, the launch of more titles compatible with the new consoles. There is a lot to discover on Xbox and Xbox 360 and I would love to be able to do it on my Xbox One S."
There are still a few more games I hope to see on the Xbox BC list. To name a few:
Beautiful Katamari
Eternal Sonata
Max Payne 3
The 360 - XBO bc program has been shifted to the 360 - XSX bc program now. Same with og xb bc games. MS said they were going to make even more og and 360 games bc for the SX.
Seems like they have not added anything to the BC games list for a little while.
They ended adding games last year that is why u haven't seen anything added.
Possibly more powerful emulation is possible on the next gen hardware some games that never released may have played poorly on X1 like max Payne 3 given it was multiple discs and possibly one of the most graphically advanced games on the system
There’s a lot more games I’d like to see backward compatible three right off the top of my head are Aliens Vs Predator: Extinction, Wrath, Battle for Middle Earth 2.
Would actually love to see a remake/reboot of Condemned. So very underappreciated... I was a bit of an Xbox hateboy back during the time this came out. But I did own a 360 for a short time back then. Thankfully this is one of the games I got to check out. Thanks to it being super cheap at a GameStop. At least it got a sequel, but it deserved to be a whole franchise honestly.
That'll be awesome to see this remade again
Loved the first one. The second one wasn't very good.
Criminally underrated
I am still playing Condemned 1 & 2. Both games deserve a remake or remaster. I am still baffled why 2 is not on the back compat list.
