You start the game off like any regular shooter, but then things start to get weird. Flashes of gruesome images flood your screen, and sitings of people that aren't really there really start to amp up your anxiety. You never know what will happen next. And that is just the first two levels. After playing for about 3 hours you become accustomed to the "horror" aspect of the game. What's left is a very intense shooter. The firefights are punishing since the AI will try to flank you. Some will hide, waiting for you to walk by and then butt you in the face with their rifle. You always need to be on your toes while playing this game because you never know how the enemies will react to your assaults. While this game is great at pulling you into a world filled with gruesome "visions" it is a tad short (but the quality of the game makes up for it), it took me about 18 hours to beat. I know that some people will think this is a average time for a shooter, but I think they could have put in a little more to lengthen the story line. All in all, if you're looking for an intense shooter with smart AI and freaky playable "visions", you couldn't do better than F.E.A.R.
