F.E.A.R (First Encounter Assault Recon) was released for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 in 2005. It was developed by Monolith Productions and published by Sierra Entertainment and Warner Bros. Games. F.E.A.R is a survival horror first person shooter game that has single player and multiplayer content. If I were not mistaken, Gamespy was the one who hold the multiplayer for F.E.A.R but sadly, Gamespy don't exist in today's generation.

F.E.A.R consists of 12 intervals. If you will play this game full time, you can finish this game for 2-3 days or less. However, some intervals are divided into parts. This game focused on a F.E.A.R point man who fought his way to Armacham until he finally reached the vault and kill the ghosts. Well, to avoid spoiler alert, I won't tell the rest of the plot and yet, I'm not good at explaining it since I didn't pay much attention to some voice mails and laptops.

F.E.A.R has two expansion packs which were released in 2007: F.E.A.R: Perseus Mandate and F.E.A.R: Extraction Point. About the gameplay, you can only have 3 weapons of your choice even though there are various weapons that you can encounter throughout the game. As usual, your starting weapon will be a pistol (cliche part of FPS games) but at least, you get to use other weapons later in the game.

Other than that, I will be listing the pros and cons of this game.

Pros:

-It has enjoyable single player content

-You can play this game at the lowest settings possible.

-You can perform benchmarks in this game to find out the FPS (frames per second) you can get with your rig.

-The game play is plain but at least you get to fight the soldiers and the ghosts with your guns. Seriously? You can kill ghosts with guns but at least it's something different than the usual

-The real horror actually happens in interval 10 onwards (based on my opinion)

-The atmosphere is just like the typical survival horror games but immersive in its own kind.

-To me, graphics is pretty simple.

-About the storyline, it's in mediocre I guess but at least, it'll be interesting if you did pay attention.

Cons:

-The OSTs are plain, nothing special about it.

-Everything is limited. From weapons to explosives.

-I didn't like the characters in the game. To me, they're not memorable especially Norton Mapes

Therefore, I rate this game 7/10
