F.E.A.R. was a game I wanted to play since the first time I heard about it unfortunately I didn't have a high-end PC capable of running the game, systems requirements were very high by that time, one the strongest points of the game was its graphics, actually it even beat doom 3 in the best graphics gamespot award category, so when I heard the game was gonna be released on the 360 i was prepared to see some espectacular graphics. Well, I got the game for the xbox 360 and I don't know... I felt kinda dissapointed when I first saw the graphics, I am not saying the game is bad actually is a very good game, it's just that graphics have evolved so rapidly that the textures and square-boxes (believe me youll get to see a lot of square structures and objects) from this game look outdated, even more if you've played games before like condmened or gears of war, well enough with the graphics. The best thing about this game is its gameplay, you're gonna need to use slowdown motion (a matrix-like effect) in order to survive, this is because the enemies you'll encounter are very powerful and intelligent, they will make you feel like if you didn't have the slow-motion feature they could kill you in just a matter of seconds, they move fast, they hide they organize, some of the best AI you'll get to experience in a FPS that's for sure. the sound effects are superb and you really get the feeling that you are using strong weapons, and some FPS developers should take note on the weapons of this game, because this is how all FPS weapons should feel in every FPS game.

A lot of people call this game spooky, as for me I think the game tries to hard to be scary, and only in a couple of situations it really succedes, this game is like THE RING meets MATRIX meets HALF-LIFE, if you've played half-life before somehow you will remember that game when playing this one.

The multiplayer is unbalanced, before start playing you'll be choosing a weapon the problem is that everyone chooses the same rifle because it is the best weapon, and if you don't choose that weapon I assure you... you'll hardly beat anyone if they're using that rifle and you're using a different weapon, so it really feels unbalanced, actually in the game that rifle is not that powerful, so something went wrong when creating the multiplayer aspect of the game.

anyway the game is an original and fresh experience specially the single player mode, just don't be expecting awesome graphics, the graphics are very good and that's all.
