Great game of blood, gore and mostly horror and suspense. Great graphics and gameplay.

FEAR is a creepy and immersive game. It is one of more memborable titles for the first person shooter genre. You are a soldier recruited to investigate stange happenings within a multi billion dollar corporation along with the help of the F.E.A.R team. You encounter a large amount of supernatural happenings that do creep you out in the first few levels but after the middle of the game it does wear a bit too fin and repetitive, for example in the beggining levels you see multiple sightings of the lttle girl and Paxton Fetel but in the late sightings you will find yourself just walking through it without jumping out of your seat. FEAR has it's moments of blood and gore and they are the parts that don't wear fin. FEAR has a strong graphics engine that is attractive but I've seen better from Doom 3 and Quake 4. It has pretty shadow effects and reflections on the blood which looks fantastic. The game's storyline is alright but could of surpassed what it is which is a storyline similar to horror films that get bad raitings from movie critics. Gameplay is really basic just like other first person shooters and could of used some more interesting mechanics, but the one good part of gameplay is the hand to hand up close combat that eliminates enemies quicker than guns. FEAR's selection of weapons is good and features the shotgun which you see from most classic shooters etc. The most interesting weapon is the gun that fries enemies into ash skeletons and can also blow enemies into bits if you are close enough.

Enemy AI has never been better featuring the smartes AI I have seen in ages in the hostile soldiers and that makes FEAR more challenging than most other FPS games. So overall I say that FEAR is a must buy for fans of computer FPS games.

    Should you get F.E.A.R Director's edition? The DVD Version saves you the trouble of getting 5 discs when you should just get 1. Why should I get F.E.A.R you ask? Well for one: The game play isn't all about KILL KILL ... Read Full Review
