F.E.A.R. review with some crazy real life oddities
The game itself is pretty freaky although I had some crazy stuff happen to me while playing it. First I’m walking through a puddle of blood when some crazy little girl in red comes out at that moment my monitor decided to turn itself off I jiggled the mouse and there she was in front of my screen! I almost pissed my pants. Then there was the time I had a power outage in the middle of the game. Thus all my lights in the house were turned off the only thing running (my battery backup) was my monitor and computer with my speakers blaring creepy noises. Next I’m running along level three chasing some dude covered in blood when my Tivo (right next to my computer) switched itself to the movie Psycho. Or the time when my mouse ran out of batteries or a spider crawling on my foot.
If you have saved your game in the 1.04 patch and upgrade to 1.05 none of the saved games worked for me. Thus I had to level skip to the point of where I was. This worked great until I realized I had no flashlight. You try playing the game without a flashlight, and if your hands don’t turn white there is something wrong with you.
I think my heart has beaten way more than it should have playing this game.
The game probably would have been mediocre if it didn’t have the “scary” addition. I believe that is what makes Monolith so amazing. Look at No One Lives Forever 1 or 2 decent FPS with a cool twist = my favorite games to date. Cheers and lets hope I see a NOLF (No One Lives Forever)3!
