F.E.A.R.'s enemy A.I. is what all FPS games should strive to accomplish
STORY: FEAR certainly describes what paranormal beings you’re facing. Paxton Fettal is the person you will be trying to eliminate through the game but your real Fear is of Alma. Alma a girl taken at birth and experimented on is your main villain though. The story is pretty decent but could have used a little more depth. The ending however is the best part and will have you wondering what’s next?
ENTERTAINMENT: your enemy will flank you, dive for cover and call for reinforcements when needed. They are also often well equipped with amour and powerful weapons. They usually almost always come in groups and will likely hear you or see you if you make any sudden movements. However the most dangerous enemy at first will seem to be an enemy with a full metal jacket and a powerful bolt like weapon. Until you meet the Mechanical machine, you will not know what an ultra enemy reinforcement means. It will obliterate anything in its path with its two rocket launcher guns at its side and it will break through walls until it finds you. If you thought Slo-Mo was a good tool at your disposal, it certainly dos not work against a machine that has ultra fast reflexes. PROS: Amazing enemy AI, with smart group tactics, Great Slo-Mo engine, surprisingly great ending, interesting shadow mechanics, haunting music keeps the mood of the game dark and paranormal, sound of bullets and everything you touch will bring the atmosphere alive, Intense multiplayer, CONS: Combat becomes kind of stale around the middle of the game and too many of the same environments haunt your path, complex control scheme.
OVERALL: Lots of fun can be had, through this games frantic firefights. Yet it will leave you wanting more of everything from, story to environment and everything in-between.
