It took me roughly fifteen hours to play through Condemned. The game is a great exercise in tension. The enemy AI just does things to constantly give you the creeps. The combat is just vicious. The graphics are great in their intentional ugliness. The sound design is brilliant in messing with you just as well as the enemy behavior. The story is interesting even though it might go someplace a little weird at the end for some. It's not going to replace Silent Hill or Resident Evil, but it's an entirely valid and well done and more importantly unique entry into the survival horror genre. I'm giving Condemned: Criminal Origins a 9. Bring on the sequel.
