So in Condemned, you are Ethan Thomas, a well trained agent for the SCU, intent on solving crimes and stopping criminals. When you go to investigate a strange SKX, Serial Killer X, a killer who has killed 9 people, and only hunts down other Serial Killers, you get electrocuted by a control panel to open a door, and you drop your gun. SKX, comes in and points it at you, laughing and says "Bang."
You then go out to find him, and find that the two agents that went with you, were both shot...and by your gun. Therefore, the SCU now thinks you are a criminal, and you have to go find SKX, and bring him to justice.
After this all, a man named Malcolm Vanhorn, a friend of your fathers, is at your apartment. He says he knew of all this and is ready to stall the police at your door, and for you to escape. You go out the window, and he stalls them. You then go to a string of locations, fighting the "Influenced", ordinary people possessed by some power, making them insane, and with the help of Rosa, another SCU agent that is on your side and believes you, you finally find SKX.
Now, Malcolm Vanhorn meets you there, and sets you up. SKX, is his nephew. So you then apprehend SKX, and you find out that Malcolm knows more than he says. He knocks you out, and SKX, Leland Vanhorn, ties you up. You are then taken to a barn area I think...can't remember, but anyways...You are taken there and you see a man, in the shadows smiling as Leland is talking to you, about to kill you. Suddenly, Malcolm glimpses the creature and yells to you to kill it, that it is the cause for the madness. It leaps on SKX, and attacks him. You then escape as they are fighting, and you see it sprint away. Malcolm rushes out and tells you the only way to stop the madness, is to kill it. Malcolm hands you a weapon, and locks the door on SKX, to keep him inside and safe. You then chase the creature down, corner it in the barn, and kill it by ripping metal pieces off of it.
At the end, you are driving back with Malcolm, and you hear a bang in the trunk. You order him to stop the car at gunpoint, and then you open the trunk to find SKX there, who was supposed to be "taken care of" when you left. You then get the option to shoot him, or keep him alive. If you say to keep him alive, he laughs, takes your gun, and says "It's not over" before shooting himself in the head. Then, you go back and talk to Rosa in a cafe, she explains she is wire-tapped, and everything is recorded. You go into the bathroom, and hurl everywhere, and then see yourself as the creature you just killed in the barn. The inner demons of Ethan Thomas, are still alive.
That, ends Condemned.
Also, you learn that in a scan of Ethan's neck, his upper chest/neck area, is all blacked out...and it says "TOP SECRET". You also notice that where the "strange creature is" that is at the end, when he pops up in the game, there are dead birds nearby.
Condemned 2
You are now a raging alcoholic due to the intense experiences you have been through, involving the dead rising, the insanity, the blood, the madness, etc.
Everything he sees, is actually just his inner demons. The bums are real, but that black tar is the corruption of his mind. When he is killing those "creatures", he is actually killing people/bums and such.
Any other questions? I don't want to spoil Condemned 2 for you.. :P
