Intense gun battles, sneeky enemies, awesome weaponry, what else could you ask for? I loved every minute of this game. I don't understand the reviewer who said this game is too short. This game will keep you at it for hours on end. Theres alot of variety in enemies as you progress. And yes you get to fight ED209 robots, best weapon on these enemies is the particle weapon. But its all about grenades for all the other enemies. All in all a great game..be sure to have a good graphics card though.

Great creepy shooter

The creepiness of this game wears off halfway through so that the "chills" are pretty much ignored. At the start of the game there are plenty of things going bump in the night, but by midway it seems even the developers got tired of it and the spooky sights and sounds of random objects moving on their own trickle off.

The controls are sweet and the leveling up is consistent, however more could have been done with the fear meter. Smart AI and great graphics make this an addicting game, though its story is not terribly engrossing.

Awsome FPS

This game is actually scary. Play it at night with head phones on in a dark room. Excellent graphics and game play. One of the best FPS's I've played.

Amazing!

I never really liked the FPS type games very much. That is until I played FEAR. This game is awesome and, if you have a good enough computer to play it on it's max settings, it is one of the best looking games I have ever played. If you like FPS games get this one for sure! If you don't like them, then try it out anyway. It just might change your mind. There are some spooky parts to the game that add to it's appeal (IMO). Check it out!

Husband loves this game, now I can't get him off the computer!

FEAR is scary! It looks great! It's fast, fun and freaky! Buy it. Worth the admission cost and will last longer/scare you more than some horror movie at the theatre.

Note: VERY adult game. Also, the graphics are a strain on the machine, make sure you're properly equipped!

What DOOM 3 tried for but failed ! FEAR is awesome!

This is the stuff that true First Person Shooters are made of.

FEAR is scary with moments that will literally have you jumping out of your seat or blasting away in panic as a ghost comes at you. Absolutely spine tingling gameplay at its best when your alone, undisturbed at night with the lights off, your headphones on and your mind deep into the game. WOW!

1 - Graphics -
Most of the game is dark and spooky but when you can see the walls, rooms and people's faces...the graphics are great!

2 - Physics -
The game engine is solid and fun to play. People torque and shutter when bullets impact!

3 - AI -
Enemy AI is really quite good. They duck, they take cover, they are aggressive too. I did find myself wanting them to storm my position. They did not do that on the default setting of "moderate difficulty". Maybe they will on harder levels.

4 - Misc -
Lots of exploration, secret areas to find. This game does not insanely hide things from you. As long as you are observant and take the time, you will find lots of bonus goodies. I like that they did not make silly hiding spots or puzzles for me to solve. They maintained the realism. Also, one thing, this game is filled with 4 letter words. PARENTS - I would not suggest it for anyone under 16!

5 - Weapons -
A nice, tight variety of about 7 weapons I think. This game is not about getting a big mofo of a gun that blows everything away. This game is about using resources, strategy and your skills to get fast kills with clean headshots! You can only carry 3 weapons at a time so choose them carefully. Choose incorrectly and you will run dangerously low on ammo, probably at the worst moment! lol There is a simple remedy though, make a quick kill and grab the dead guys weapon and your back in business. I am glad they did this. In a realistic type game like FEAR, I hate having 8-10 different weapons! It is silly. In Serious Sam it is fun and a MUST HAVE feature...but not for a purebred FPS like FEAR.

Overall, this game is almost a 5 in my book. There are a few things lacking and I wish the environments were more dynamic than a large corporate office building. DOOM 3 tried to be this scary and indepth but it failed. That game became predictable. It became easy to predict when a monster would jump out or when big boss monster were coming!!! What a waste!

FEAR makes up for that, takes games like DOOM 3 out back, rips a hickory switch off and beats them across the rear to teach lessons and school game designer wanna-be's!

Stupid game ruined Final Fantasy IX for me

I'm not a first-person shooter fan. As a videogame journalist once said, "Look down when you're climbing a ladder and you'll see why." I don't like the way you're a floating gun that shoots at things that move, and the way they press for realism when the entire way you PLAY the game is anything but (swiveling your whole body to look to your right, holding your gun in front of your face 24/7, etc. Just dumb).

F.E.A.R., fortunately, is one of those shooters in which you do possess a body if you look down..but your movements are still stuck in the same old FPS mode we've had since Wolfenstein.

So, why did I give this game 5 stars when I obviously don't like FPS and it apparently ruined a 10-year old PS1 RPG for me? Sit back and I'll explain.

This game...rocks. It is a blast to play. Slowing things down in a FPS with beautiful graphics like this is art. The enemy soldiers have AI that's equivalent to a real person (except they act like real people in the game world, not real people exploiting a videogame online).

The story is just incredible. It explains why you have these powers, you're not all-powerful simply because you're the main character. There's a good reason for why you have the powers you do, and why you alone have gotten as far as you have (unlike Gordon Superman Freeman). We have a main "villian" who has reasons for doing the things she does. We have characters who are pulling the strings from the sidelines.

And that is why Final Fantasy IX was ruined for me. I was playing it over spring break, when the Sam Goody in town went out of business, and we got F.E.A.R. for cheap. So I played it. And it's just one of those games that are FUN to play (I suddenly realized Final Fantasy IX was not fun), and the story is just awesome - truly adult (unlike so many of the Final Fantasy games, where the world and everyone in it revolves around one unstoppable hero).

Picture this: A beautiful lobby. An elevator at one end of the room. The elevator pings, the doors open. A group of enemy soldiers inside - you slow down time and have a grenade in the air even before they've registered that you're there. You throw the grenade into the elevator, then shoot your gun. A beautiful vase next to the doors explodes when one of your bullets goes astray, each individual piece flying in a different direction. The enemy soldiers are falling, ragdoll physics taking over. Some soldiers are diving away from the elevator, seeking cover behind the columns in the room, crouching behind furniture, moving in opposite directions to better surround you. You think you can handle them...and then your Slow Mo runs out, everything comes back with a jerk, and you're being riddled with bullets as you dive for cover yourself, running toward one of the enemy soldiers so they don't throw a grenade.

The only thing "off" about this game are those flying "Y-Bots" that shoot lasers. Those just came from nowhere and barely make any sense with the overall plot.

Stop complaining.

First off, I want to tell everyone with a 6-series graphics card to uprade! This game is too much for anything except the geforce 7900gtx, 7950gx2, or radeon x1900xt or xtx, unless you want to move into a multi gpu pc. This game is insane, with intense realism and amazing graphics. Admittedly this games story is a little hard to follow, but if you want a great story go play ff7. Bottom line is that there is no system lag IF you have the hardware, and the battle system is incredibly addictive and fun. I have an opteron 144 oc'd to 2.8, 2 gigs of ocz el patinum, and a 7900gtx, and I run this game at settings maxed out, with the frame rate never dropping below 30fps. If you want a great online shooter, than go buy battlefield 2, but if you want a great single player horror adventure, than BUY THIS GAME!!!
P.S. Please, no one say that the gore and violence is too much. Don't be a wuss. I see worse things on news at noon.

I think this game is worth it!!

I have read most, if not all of the reviews. I read how some are complaining that it is "too easy" or "didn't last long enough", etc. Seems to me that there are those in the gaming world, probably the younger set, who don't appreciate the work that goes into coding a game and then releasing same. As a retired LAN Admin who has been privy to seeing some of the game codes over the years, I doubt very much that the people complaining would even be able to get a game off the ground.

I like the game and am enjoying it. It's an interesting game and if you have the right kind of computer , it really shows out for itself.
