I am planning on buying a new game and have narrowed it down to FEAR or Oblivion, but cannot decide between the two. I have XBOX Live, but am not sure whether I would get much out of FEAR if the community is not very large. Which would anyone recommend?

Get Oblivion, but F.E.A.R is a pretty good game too. Oblivion will last you longer than F.E.A.R would.

I rented Fear and wasn't all that impressed.  Oblivion is awesome. Most people here will say Oblivion.

FEAR is a great game... And I had a lot of fun with it...

But I had a LOT more fun with Oblivion.

It will last you TONS longer, and there is A LOT more to do.

Plus there's all the downloadable content if you feel like you would like more to do.

Trust me, Oblivion is the way to go.

Oblivion has the gameplay value of ten games. I think I'm about 800 hours into Oblivion and I still haven't done everything in the game. (and I'm not exaggerating, I'm at LEAST 700 hours into it, most likely 800.)

FEAR. The whole experience is just so much better than Oblivion. Not that Oblivion is bad either.

oblivion might p.ossibly be the greatest role playing game ever created, but f.e.a.r. is also a pretty good game.  however, obvlivion can lag at times because the game is just so huge, which really sucks.  f.e.a.r. isn't that much more than your average first-person shooter with some neat added extras and effects. but in my opinion, definitely go with oblivion

Oblivion.

It will last you a much longer time. FEAR is still a great game though, an EXCELLENT late-night-all-the-lights-off game.

FEAR is great but it does get a little linear, in terms of level design, gets really boring from that stand point, but still good. Oblivion is better imo though.

F.E.A.R. feels like you're playing the same level for about 10 hours (the whole game). Warehouses and offices get sooooooooooooooo boring, not to mention pretty much the same 3 enemies you'll encounter for 90% of the game. I don't regret buying it but it was not one of my favorite FPS's by any means. Oblivion on the other hand took over my life for 3 months. There's no contest.

FEAR is an average FPS. The levels are pretty linear and the environments rarely change.

Oblivion is possibly one of the best RPGs of all time. This game is true next-gen title than FEAR.

Oblivion is a much more fufilling experience.

Hmmm thats a tough one I beat both games and to me its like a tie. I wouldn't choose nithier of them. Oblivion is a good game and all I still haven't played that new Shivering Islands stuff yet 250 gamerpoints added and stuff but F.E.A.R is like those FPS that you is fast paced similar to me like CS obvisously because of Sierra on 1.6. They are also diffrent Genres F.E.A.R is FPS and Oblivion can be FPS too but I perfer it 3rd person. Anyway I would suggest you wait until Two Worlds comes out if your into games like Oblivion fantasy games and stuff. Also you wait until Orange Box from Valve with TF2 and stuff like that. But whatever its my opinion im not limited to choose 1 game.

Oblivion for sure. It has no online, but you'll be trapped onto it's grasps.
