User Reviews

• Great Game!

  h33ts33k3rNovember 7, 2009

  Pros

  The game is scary as hell and one of the best games I've ever played.

  Cons

  The download took way too long. In the downloads window it said 6 hours, 17 minutes! WTH?!?!?

  Summary

  It was an awesome game, but a faster download speed would have been nice.

• Best Case of a worse case Scenario.

  Pros

  Yes, Criminal Origins is scary...Not Silent Hill 2 or Resident Evil 4 scary..Of course... <p> Many of the enemy bots are brutal. They pop out of nowhere and will send you to hades with a small pipe. There are seriously times in the game where you run into a dead ended room and are still scared of some druggie busting out of the ceiling or something... <p> Another thing, is the use of weapons. The game makes it real clear that you only have a few shots and that if you screw up a shot, you'll quickly find yourself surrounded by 'roidin criminals. To compensate for this, the game allows you to pick anything up and use it as a weapon. But this does come with a price, as almost everything makes a sound which usually doesn't go hand-in-hand with being sneaky. <p> There is a brief glimpse into crime-scene-investiagation, and I do mean brief... The cutscenes are sudden and great, and there is a genuine sense of terror.

  Cons

  The only con, is that this isn't as scary as it could be.... I mean....If you really want a good horror-survival game, right here-right now, go check out the Silent Hill series or Clive Barker's Undying...This game is a good shooter that just lacks better 'scare tactics.'

• Creepy....and short

  Princess_ButtercupAugust 1, 2006

  Pros

  Very unsettling...walking down a hallway when you hear scuttling ahead is very chilling... <p>Definitely not a shooter...you start with a gun, but it's unlikely you'll unload more than six rounds, since that's what they give you...you can find another pistol later on in a corner with 5 more shots, but that's at the very end...This adds a cool, original feel to the game, rather than just another shooting gallery...Note: I am a huge shooter fan and I still liked this... <p>Good graphics: I have a cheapass graphics card, and it still looked nice, even though I didn't bother fiddling with the settings <p>Hobos! Hobos are always funny, especially when you say "Police! Come out or I'll use force!" and he says "#@$& you!" and you shoot him in the leg and he says "agh! &#$*#$@er!" and then you kill him.

  Cons

  First part is kind of boring...unless you're a huge fan of CSI or something, you'll be wishing it was over so you could start killing hobos <p>Hobos...Killing them with rusty planks is fun...but it doesn't make sense: if they're in the same building as the murder was commited in, don't that make them suspects? And if they're not the killer, why are they trying to kill you? I read some reviews and aparently playing the full game doesn't clear that up. <p>Short. For the file size, it's a short demo. Maybe 10 enemies. Still, it makes sense where it ends... <p>My personal pet peeve is @$$holes who give a game a low score for any of these 3 reasons: <p>1. Took forever to download. <p>Well, that ain't the game's fault. Get a better internet connection, or do something else. <p>2. The demo didn't work <p>This is the most defensible one, but if you haven't played a game, how are you gonna rate it?? <p>3. I couldn't run the game/ Didn't work well on my computer <p>Lets rephrase this one: "My [Mom's] computer sucks, and she won't buy me a new one as long as I'm living in the basement, so I'm gonna take it out on the computer. Because next-gen games should work on a computer with integrated 32MB graphics and 128MB graphics. I even have a blazing 1GHz processer." Honestly people, a game like Half-life 2, Doom 3, or Condemned was not intended to run on 5 year old hardware. So just shut up, stop whining, and get a new computer.
