Disappointing

As others have said: Don't expect much new from the pack. You have a few new weapons, but the story is very weak (bordering on non-existent for the most part). I would recommend it for a $20 purchase, but at $30 it is over-priced for what you get. Expect to play it once through and never fire it up again.

little let down

I completed fear 1 and found it to be exciting and challenging at times but toward the end it became predictable. With that said, fear 2 was basically the same game, several times I felt I was in the original game with the graphics and locations. Many times you seem to be teleported to a location with no real reason to be there except to take a break from the mouse.

The graphics were awesome and it was enjoyable but could have been much more, if Half Life have the same graphics realism that would make a awesome game.....but you better have the horse power in the video card to handle the game. Although the video ran great, the auto game saves blips the action entirely too much.

Totally worth playing but just the same old game.

Satisfying Add-On to the Original Game

Extraction Point ,the add-on to the original F.E.A.R. game delivers an enjoyable gaming experience even though there are no major enhancements.
New Stuff: New weapons, turret mines, laser gun and a gatling machine gun. The mines are the best new feature in my opinion, great for ambushes.

More information about your character and his link to the demon-girl is revealed, but I really did'nt care. The enemy A.I. is the important feature in the game and that is still great.

Just as good

If you love F.E.A.R. (and who doesn't) you will love F.E.A.R. Extraction Point. You will still get creeped out.

Make more!

This was a great installment to the first. Graphics and game play were just like the first. The maps were very detailed and fun to play in. The only grip I have with it was the length of time it took to play. Total play time for me was around 12 hours.

not payin for much

sadly no matter how you fight it and argue. a game can be fun and look good but you also pay for something that will last you longer than a movie. face it, it's an expansion, no extra work for graphics or gameplay. so basically they just had to think up more story... that's what you paid for, for them to sit around and think up a story that only last a couple hours. no more to say.

Nothing new and very short!

The game by itself is good on the action, but nothing new! The same clones and more of the weird stuff. Nothing new... I total rip off and the ending was horrible and left you hanging just like half life 2...A total rip off. I want my money back.

Great for horror fans

F.E.A.R. Extraction point was a great game except for one thing: plot. there was a very stretchy plot throughout the game. a great shooter game, and a great game if you enjoy not sleeping at night (like me)
I'd have to say this game is as scary, if not scarier, than the first.
my one big problem is this: the last few minutes in the game leave you with more questions than answers.
if you enjoyed F.E.A.R. for the storyline, and want to find out the answer to a ton of questions, THIS GAME IS NOT FOR YOU. if you like finishing games and feeling perplexed, confused, and ripped off, by all means, purchase this game.

Crushes HL2 Episode One

Here's the facts:
1. Incredible combat action refined and intensified even more then in the original vs using the grappler for most of HL2e1 to work your way through nothing special - no contest; Fear and Fear Extraction Point have the best single combat fighting action ever.

2. Chills still abound; No game I have ever played has set me on edge like Fear and Fear EP.

3. Keeps the mystery alive and going and sets you up big time for the next one.

4. Only takes 15 minutes to install for a good 8 hours of play vs 2 hours to install hl2e1 for 4 hours of play. Do I need to do the math?

5. Works fairly bug free. It has hung on me a few times when starting up a saved game but ususally starts up on the 2nd try. That's it. This versus
there's not enough space to list all of the problems with HL2e1. I just know that my next 1 hour patch download session with Steam will fix the whole thing - yeah right.

Problems? Cons? Sure, it's not perfect. The Expansion pack like the original game is a bit short. As a mater of fact, if you put both together you have a decent length game.

The slo-mo bullet-time feature does tend to make it a bit easy but boy is it something to see and frankly, it's habit forming! To be sure, the action in Fear EP is racheted up a bit and you almost need to use slo-mo to progress through some of the levels.

Price - The list price is $29.99 which is too much for the amount of play but then, who is paying list price? I paid less then what HL2e1 cost. Keep in mind that the list price for HL2e1 provides half the play of Fear EP. For the installation effort required for HL2e1 and the resultant minimal amount of play time, they should be giving it away!

When it comes to the overall package, Fear EP like Fear is still not in the same class as a Deus Ex or the original HL, Unreal, SS2, etc. Certainly Fear's graphics and fight scenes are at the top of the scale and overshadow these earlier clasics but those classics still have characteristics that make them great and unforgettable. It's a shame that Valve did not see fit to develop other then a mundame follow up to the original HL and then Steam you to play it. For now, FEAR is as good as it gets for a shooter. I can't think of anything better that has been released in the past 4 years.

In summary, Fear EP extends one great game that you will find yourself playing over and over again. The fighting action is as good as you will ever see. It draws you back time after time. I can't wait until Fear 2 or another expansion pack.

A good enougn expansion

The FEAR expansion was very fun, just as fun as the original game. The new weapons didn't change the game much though. The computer AI seemed better and more dangerous. However right as your really getting into it the game just ends. This thing is just to short so make sure you play it on hard to get the most out of it.
