This game was bought as a toss up for me. I was either going to get COD2 or FEAR. I chose FEAR. I still think that it was the right choice as it has brought me around 30-35 hours gameplay so far. Its days are numbered though. The game has a geat action feel, with the weird horror stuff thrown in. The horror theme is kind of lost in parts but offers dome of the most bloody and greusome images founf through the game. The gun-fights, especially towards the back end of the game, are fantastic. Sparks fly, dust particles and iems fly through the air, and the shottie, my god. IT has set a whole new benchmark for the way single-player shooting atmosphere is handeld. The graphics and sounds all add to the enhancment of this feeling of carnage. The bodies fly and stick to walls (Penetrator!), and this really adds a cool element to your gun-fights. The slow-mo feature is there and in some cases it is relly useful, bhut on the whole I found myself using it only when I really had to. The weapons are great too. The combination of only 3 guns at one time, I think, works well with the overall sense of the game. The story is a bit choppy in bits but overall it holds together, just. The game just diidn't seem to capture me as much as a HL2 or similar games. The game really did seem to come to life a bit more in the back-end of the game, and then it was over. The nultiplayer int his game was what got to me. The franatic pace of it, and randomality of the hits is so anoying. Maybe they should have had a round system, likle CS, to combat this. IT allseems to happening too fast and its just too hard to know what your, or your teamates, are doing. Didnt like this aspect of the game at all, which really puts a question mark over the longevity of the title. Overall, its was a good game with some brilliant ideas spreaded throughout, it needed to be longer and maybe a little bit more intense in places. Multiplayer was a big let down too.
The game begins with a very intresting intro scene, which shows Paxton Fettel getting control over a whole army of clone soldiers which in result capture and occupy a research facility under his command. You yourself ar... Read Full Review
Should you get F.E.A.R Director's edition? The DVD Version saves you the trouble of getting 5 discs when you should just get 1. Why should I get F.E.A.R you ask? Well for one: The game play isn't all about KILL KILL ... Read Full Review
