A good game when u first play it..but..
Gameplay:
A great action game, filled with nice bullet time and ragdoll physics. The enemy reacts on where u shoot on them..and their A.I level of intelligence is pretty solid..This is not just a run and gun game,sometimes u need to take cover behind crates and objects to kill the enemy especially when they are quite a number of em. But the game is not long enough...it' covers almost about 8-10 hrs of gameplay..the last part is quite disappointing though becoz it lacks of actions..u just wonder around the place thinking of where to go..And the storyline is not that good..If u've played this game once, u won't be doing it twice,cuz the story is linear. It contains some suspense scenes but there's isn't much of it. And the bad part of the suspense thing is that most of the times u need to look around you to find the spot where the ghost will appear..so if u miss it..u won't see it again..Controls are good..no bugs or anything..There quite a number of guns..some are futuristic ones..it's cool that u can carry many guns at a time just like Half life.
Graphics:
The graphics are quite beautiful especially during bullet time...U can see the blurry effects..particles and the hit points that u shoot onto the enemy..The textures on the envirionment arent bad afterall if u play it on a high end PC...but the bad part is..the level design isn't that impressive...the way monolith design the walls aren't very detail in shapes and sizes..They look like a Square Block..and didn't add much different to each levels u play it on..Also..there arent much skin for the enemy..most of the enemie wear a helmet and a white army uniform..
Sound:
Quite impressive the first time u hear it..but it gets repetive after some time of hearing it..the words that the A.I use will remain the same after 3 hours of gameplay..the gun shots are quite well done with the futuristic guns producing electrifying sounds!!
Conclusion:
So what i can i say about F.E.A.R? To keep it short..its a good game when it comes to shooting and A.I..but it is too linear...u won't be shocked playing it the second time if u got all thru the suspense part. Overall it's a good game...but u need quite a high ram,a fast hard disk speed and a good graphi card to see the beauty..
