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.

First, I have never played this game on the PC, so I wont be able to compare it to that. Also, I don't own an XBOX 360 and I am not here to compare the merits or shortfalls or either platform. The only other game I can compare it to is Resistacne: Fall of Man. Compared to Resistance this game falls way short of what I wanted. The graphics are WAY SUB PAR for the PS3 and almost embarrasing when compared to Resistance. The levels are confusing and the enemies are predictable. I was really excited to get this game and have been horribly dissapointed. If the graphics were up to snuff I could tolerate it, but I felt like I was playing a PS2 game. Unless you loved the PC version, save your money.

New to F.E.A.R.

This is the first time I've played F.E.A.R. on any platform and like the game as a stand-alone game. The online play is not nearly as fun as games like Halo, RFOM, or Gears of War. Graphics were average.

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.

really good game

Despite the bad reviews of this game for the PS3, I think that it is a really good FPS game. There is really no difference from the other versions of the game except for this version has a new level and gun. I think that it was a great buy, and I am looking forward to purchasing F.E.A.R. 2 for the PS3. Oh and the slow motion is siiiick!

Ok to rent, NOT ok to buy.

Since I rented F.E.A.R. and it was due in 5 days, I played in easy difficulty to make sure I finished the game in time. The graphics are OK, but are by no means an indication of what PS3 is capable of. The only cool effect was the SloMo graphics which did a great job disguising the aliasing problems. I would rate the graphics equivilent to what was available on PC 6 years ago.

I have not seen any comments on this, however I frequently expirienced extremely loud clicking noises no matter what volume setting I used. The noises did not seem unintentional, but they did not seem to serve much purpose in the game other than to annoy me. Also no matter how I adjusted the sound the incoming inercom and phone messages were so quiet I couldn't make out anything they said. Because of that I didn't get the whole story of the little girl and the dude and why they're doing all this.

Sometimes the sound track and the flying robots gave me a Star Wars feel, which killed the mood and style of the game.

There were some times where I'd get stuck on a section or level, and I couldn't move on for an hour or so. I did nothing but search for what turns out to be some pobscure vent I should have jumped down.

Maybe if I can go through the game with some cheats I might be able to get whats going on a little better, but it seems there are none. The end seemed to come on very suddenly, overall it did not seem to offer as much gameplay as other games I like such as Splinter Cell.

This Game Is Awesome

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.

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.

A great game, mediocre presentation

Ok, so FEAR on the PS3 is easily one of my favorite games. My favorite types of movies are action and horror and they blended both very well in this game.

Sound: The sound on this game is perfect for setting the mood. The soundtrack is very creepy.

Graphics: This is where the game really hurts. For a PS3 game, the graphics are disappointing to say the least. They really should have put more polish on this game. The lighting however is top notch.

Gameplay: Even though this game is an FPS, the gameplay is actually quite different from the competition because of the horror elements. It made me jump a few times when Alma pops out in random spots.

Even though the graphics need more work, this game is still really fun and should not be missed,

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.
