May have a few glitches compared to the 360/PC version... but its still a decent shooter.
The graphics are pretty washed up which we can all agree on. We would of all imagine that the PS3 would of been more aesthetically pleasing, due to the huge power and potential of the console itself. Not to mention to rediculously long loading screens. Remembering the first day of playing it, being excited to kick some ass, I ended up going into a day-dream before realising that I can then press 'X' to start the level.
However, this is fairly compensated with some pretty intense gameplay and storytelling. F.E.A.R combines the elements of a high-octane shooter and supernatural horror game extremely well, if not the best gamers has seen yet. Hallucinations, claustrophobic and dark levels and great use of sound really amps up the suspense. I mean come on, who doesnt find little mysterious girls scary?
The games A.I is impressively advanced and depending on your difficulty level, can be pretty relentless. Your enemies can be very tactical in contemporary combat, from taking cover or keeping their distance and taking particular position to take you out in the quickest ay possible.
Using squad based combat, you can determine on how many enemies you could be facing or are left in a particular fight, by hearing out for squad commands, giving you the opportunity to be tactical with wiping out your foes. For example, hearing a squad member say "NEED MORE BACKUP!" obviously determines that you've wiped out most of the squad.
Its fair to say that trying to keep up with the storyline during gameplay is pretty much a waste of time, since the situation is updated for you to read on loading screens between intervals, and the fact that it can be occassionally difficult to hear your superior on the other end of a headset.
All in all, F.E.A.R is a very decent shooter that combines intense FPS action and suspensful horror very well, so if your a fan of both, then its quite a bonus and is quite worthy for anyones gaming collection. So shut the curtains, flick the lights off, and park yourself infront of the T.V, and prepare to learn the true meaning of F.E.A.R.
