awesome action game with state of the art graphics and A.I
but to be honest, the first two or three times I played through it I didnt focus alot on the story. the real focus was on the action. and oh my it was great! really great! I have never played a game with so intense action. never! the graphics and physics is really state of the art and the sound effects is great. when I first bought and played through it I had a fx5500 card that; mind my french; really sucked a**; so the graphics wasnt all that great. but in time I got a 6600gt that really did the trick. now the it was looking awesome to say the least. but keep in mind you should really have a powerful rig to go all the way with the graphics. on a medium/high setting at 1024*780 with no aa and 16*af, Im pacing in on about 25-30 frames with my 6600gt,athlon 3200+ and a gig with ram.
I would like to mention that this is kind of a creepy game. I wouldnt say scary, but creepy. there are lots of moments that will send chills down your back. I hear a lot of people saying its so scary they wont play it...well, its not true. you will absolutely feel the creepy atmosphere and sudden scares, but at no times get so freaked out you wont continue playing. I jumped a little in my seat at varius moments but the action kind of overwhelmes the creepyness. and that is not a bad thing. and now to something else: the multiplayer.
to be honest I have not played the multiplayer alot, but what I have played was a blast. in this mode the action is even more intense than in single player. yes it is possible.
only problem I got with FEAR is the single player levels. they are kind of linear and pretty much feels like the same area through the whole game. I wouldnt say they are bad, oh no not at all, but they could have been more varied at a overall point of view. one thing that totally blew me away is the A.I. it is really great. there are very few scripted scenes with the bots in this game. when they see you you wont really know what they will do next. well I could go on and on bbut my fingers are getting tired so I will leave it with that.
buy this game, it is really great. an keep in mind: play it for the action not the story. oh I almost forgot. the game isnt to long. it took me about 8-10 hours playing through the singleplayer campaign, but you wont just play through it once. I didnt
