I've been playing this for about 3 hours now and i have to say this game is worth every penny. I'm a big FPS fan and this is up there with Resistance. The game runs smoothly, load times arent too bad, and its just overall fun. The AI is very good and the scenery looks really good. The game itself is kind of creepy. I give the game 4 1/2 stars, it loses 1/2 a star for the maps, they can get kind of confusing sometime with not much help as to letting you know where to go, but if you wanted for a while you will figure it out. I recommend this game to anyone who likes this type of game, its definately worth it.
Good game, could've been better..

Pros:
Spooky and scary
Story Line is good.
Cons:
Framerate is horrible
Load time is horrible
maps could've been detailed and they could've used more imagination.
Online play is boring, nothing creative.
I probably wont be playing this game after i finish it. Though it is a good game, i was somewhat disappointed. I'm having fun playing it... but i dont think the fun factor is going to last long. i'd love to lie to everyone about my rating because i'm a diehard PS3 fan... but you might just want to rent this game 1st.
Not too bad

Pros: bit creepy at times, decent graphics, solid single player gameplay, decent story, couple added extra features from the 360 version.
Cons: Horrible load times, crappy online, no six axis use.
The game was ok, but they could've done a little more. They could've implemented the six axis a little bit, even if only to swing out the butt of the gun when you flick it..just something!..The load times are really horrid as well, by far the longest I have seen on the ps3 yet. (about 90sec load times!)..The graphics are good and if playing late at night, some parts will creep you out a bit. The online definitely needs some work done, just seems too glitchy at this point. All in all, it's just a quick and simple port from the 360 with nothing really extra.
Not Worth It

Alright I just rented this game and all I have to say is the graphics suck! It looks like Perfect Dark on N64...The framerate isn't too hot either and the load times are pretty lengthy as well...I'm playing it on a widescreen HDTV with a HDMI cable running in 720p and if it's not looking good on that you could only expect worse on anything less...Rent It First!
A cross between The Suffering & Black

I bought this game last week & so far my opinion of it is, well its ok...
The graphics are not that spectacular although the A.I. on the enemies is awesome. I have played many games like this & you can just about predict what the enemy is going to do in each spot if you repeat the game in an area. Not this one. The enemy is unpredictable & you don't know where they will appear from as they flank you. They will flush you out with grenades if they feel you are trying to lure them. This combined with the creepy aspect of the game is this game's only stellar features I feel. It has many of the same qualities as The Suffering which is in my opinion one of the most scary games as of yet. The character in F.E.A.R. has panic attacks & hallucinations the same as Torque from The Suffering. To me any game attempting the same genre gimmicks as The Suffering has big shoes to fill. The gunplay & effects is very similar to Black. The bullet casings flying about & the damage done to the environment is very similar. As other reviewers stated the load times are very slow. At 1st I thought the system locked up & I almost rebooted the system because it took so long.
I am sure the further I get into the game it will get more interesting but it hasn't grabbed me & sucked me giving me sore fingers like Resistance Fall of Man, God Of War, God Of War 2, Manhunt, The Suffering. I hope PS3 makes more games like those. It has the capability to do so.
Is this a joke?

Seriously? I played this game briefly and I thought that somebody was playing a sick and disgusting joke on me. How did this game ever make it on to the store shelves looking the way it does? I was extremely dissapointed when I finally got my hands on what was suppossed to be a great game. Instead I got game that looks like a "DECENT PS2 Game". I figured that Sierra would at least make the graphics look the same as the PC version, if not better. The controller setup is ridiculous as well. The default and ONLY setting for the trigger is R2. There are about 5 different "Custom" Settings for controls and none of them allow you to change the trigger button which is pathetic.
In story mode, all of the F.E.A.R. elements are still there. Is that enough to make me want to spend $60 dollars? No. I was so upset with this port that a friend and I wrote letters to Sierra and Sony to complain. I hope that this review has been helpful. If you have played both the PC and the PS3 version you will probably feel the same way.
This game was a step back for the Next-Gen Gaming era.
Are they Serious???

This is supposed to be a next Gen Game for the PS3. I would say the graphics are not even up to par if it was for the PS2. This game is a renter at most. Even then I am not sure it is worth the price of a rental. Definitely not worth the 60 dollar price tag to buy. I could not be more disappointed with this game. I could go into the details of my extreme disappointment but the other negative reviews on this site pretty much say it all.
F.E.A.R. not really next-gen but fun to play.

I have to agree with the general concensus. The graphics overall are 'eh' ok. I thought the graphics did get better further on in the game and they are enhanced when in 'focus or slomo' mode. It's not what I hoped it would be but once you master the techniques it is very fun to play. I would recommend renting it first but give it a chance. I'd say 3-5 hours of gameplay should tell you if it is a game for you. I've beaten it once and am playing through a second time on a harder setting. The story is interesting and there are a few creepy spots in the game. Play it in the dark late at night.:)
Not the best, but fun.

Im starting to get aggravated with all this money Im wasting on games that are supposed to be good. But Fear is addicting.! The frame rate makes it hard to play when its crowded. We need a good one! Resistance, now thats a game!
A big let down...

I played this game for pc when it fist came out and I was amazed by it. The game had crisp lines, great AI, and fast loading times. I was so stoked when I heard it was coming out for the PS3, and boy was I disappointed. The graphics of this game are no where near up to scratch with a next gen $600 dollar gaming system. And the load times were absolutely appalling, taking up to a minute and a half to load. Lots of times I thought the game had frozen. The monotony of the levels was a annoyance that was carried over from the original game. On a lighter note, I really think it would suck to work for Armacham Technologies. I mean, wouldn't you get lost all the freaking time?? I guess a saving feature is the advanced AI is still there, but otherwise, F.E.A.R. for PS3 was a big let down.
