FEAR will make you scared enough to want to stop playing but you just... can't
Story - 8
FEAR's story starts out strong but gets a little weak towards the end. It includes some twists and turns that are cool but in the end you can see coming. Overall though the story is better than it is is some FPs/horror games.
Graphics- 7
I played this on the 360 and the graphics aren't very next gen, some of the effects are but texture and lighting aren't. The bullet time effect is superbly done though
Sound-9
Some of the best i've heard in a non-realistic FPS. The music is very fitting to the setting and makes you dread moving into the next room.
Gameplay- 10
Controls - 10
Controls are solid, everything works well and moves real smooth. I have not played a FPS with controls this well on the PC since half life
AI - 10
Some of the best AI in an FPS you will go against. Your enemies really make use of thier numbers flanking you, suppressing oand overall trying to swarm you, but you can answer back with equally strong tactics.
Features - 10
The outstanding features in this game are slo mo effect and the freakiness of everything. The slo mo effect is like the Matrix but in first person. The freakiness of it all however is just amazing. At the begining of the game alot of freaky things happen to you, and these things will transfer on later very well making you afraid to climb laters or go in air ducts in case those things happen again. Also, opening doors sometimes cues dramatic music only for the door to stop because there's a crate on the othe side, bujt to late your pulse is already sped up.
Overall FEAR is a great game that you shouldn't pass up if you like FPSs, especially if you like scray games too.
