Fear shows a new face and leaves you shaking in its wake

User Rating: 9 | F.E.A.R. Extraction Point PC
Having played the first FEAR game I approached the first expansion with moderate expectations and some curiosity. With any luck the expansion would be half of what the first was.

I was the wrong. The expansion was DOUBLE what the first was. I've always been Horror genre first, FPS second, so it was only reasonable in my eyes to give FEAR the ranking it got because it was a reasonable mixture of both. But Extraction Point took the fear aspect and increased it tenfold. Seeing Alma at the very beginning was shocking enough but when I heard "you killed me...I didn't like that" from someone I was SUPPOSED to have killed I felt, deep down, I was in for a treat.

Indeed the game did not disappoint. It had many more chills than thrills and introduced horror in aspects I had never seen before. The hospital (one of the top 10 scary places in video game history in my book) offered so many illusions that it came hard to tell what you were seeing in your head and what was reality.

Personally I think that the game was given a bad wrap because it had less fire fights and more fear aspect but this is just my opinion.

All together an improvement over the first. Keep it up!
