If you have ever fired a gun in real life, you can definetly say that F.E.A.R. unleashes the most realistic firefights..
Gameplay:
It's awesome how monolith managed to mix-up the blazin' action part with a blend of supernatural horror thrilling. Most of the time you are shooting in slow-mo and experiencing the most dramitic and realistic firefights ever seen in gaming. The AI is really ground breaking what makes the action sequences really dynamic and unpredictable. On the other hand, the scary sequences are just as cinematic and thrilling that you will defenitively experience some unforgettable adrenaline shots.
Graphics:
The graphics are at the state of the art. I've never seen anything else like the way F.E.A.R. simulates the impact of gunfire on any material. You will just be overwhelmed from the coolness of the firefights: When you start firing your gun in slowmo an effect spectacle breaks loose: The environment seems to fly apart and every object that is not nailed to the ground will react to the impressive impact of your gun. Your foes will dismember, fly trough the air, or even be nailed to walls before they collapse in a way that looks cooler than in every recent action movie!
Sound:
With a 5.1 sound system and a Soundblaster 24bit soun card you'll be blasted away. Please be careful before turning up the sound when playing in a dark room... This will be a really die-hard experience :))
Best sound ever, if you ask me... everything just sounds like you would expect it to... real as life.
Some minor critics:
Graphics: Some of the environment do look a bit poor and show a lack of detail and are rendered with a low amount of polygons. But you will remember F.E.A.R. as a graphic burner, because you should focus on the action and the environments that are more beatiful.
Gameplay: Some passages are a bit stretched to increase the games length... this didn't really work out, because the game turned out to be really short....
