Thought I would start reviewing games with somthing someone who knew my user name would expect.... Expect bias.
Hope to keep this short and to the point.
Graphics.
I remember when this was considered a benchmark..of course we know graphics don't make the game. (and that's why its just part of the review)
A bit too clean if I am to be honest. Although the style sort of grew on me. Another complaint was it does not scale well from low to high like other games such as half life 2. This wasn't much a problem because my pc could play it on high but I still feel that it is a valid point to sme lss fortunate or people with other commitments..it's also a system whore.(not anymore)
Story
Don't want to spoil anything here not matter how old the game is....
The plot asks more questions then it gives but thats just how I like it. I feel this is most likely what hooked me into Fear after I got the main game and made me into the gamer you see today. Overall I think the themes and grey aspects of the game and it's enemies personalities and motives are excellent,.
There are some horror aspects that really shouldn't scare a veteran horror game player unless your a chicken like me.
Great immersion factor.
Gameplay
Very action orientated and the gunfights felt amazing the first time I played through( an every time after). some might say repetitive but I say awesome. Good AI makes the package complete.(Really not much to add here it is a well polished FPS action shooter.)
Sound
background noise adds alot to the immersion factor. not much more to add sound is good but I am hardly an expect on it t judge it any further.
So as you can tell I love the game and cannot recommend it any further even if only for Alma.
Please also keep in mind that I am a huge "fanboy" of this series and thus recommend playing the demo and reading other reviews to get your own opinion before making a purchase.
