Could you explain what you mean by "you must do this and that"? Ofcourse it's linear game, but that is exactly what makes it so intense. I like to play games where you don't have to wander around aimlessly, looking for some puzzle that is under your nose but you cannot find it anyway because the gamedesigner had some weird twist in his head when he designed it. I think I haven't ever played as intense game as condemned.
Heh, I cannot change your mind if you think it sucks.
I just love the mood, the theme and everything. Actually all of the games I listed are quite linear in end. You have quite few options in them, with little exeption with bloodlines.
Or if you disagree, how does max payne series or painkiller series give you options?
peace, just protecting my fav games.
