highly visceral fps shooter

I think of it as a fusion of max payne and chronicles of riddick: escape from butcher bay. It has the dark environment, extended gun/flashlight use and first person perspective like chronicles of riddick. It has the fast paced max payne style gameplay with the bullet time and random apparitions and ghost/dream sequences. One of the only setbacks is that the levels can get repetative, which is an issue that plagues many fps games. Great Game overall.

Unbelievably monotonous

This is probably the most monotonous video game I have ever played. The level design is the same throughout almost the entire game (namely, making your way through ridiculously complex office buildings and the like). The graphics are good and the shooting is fun as as far as it goes, but boy was this game repetitive! And if first-person shooters tend to make you dizzy, break out the Dramamine before playing this one!

Decent, but not great

I was looking forward to this game, but so far it has underwhelmed me. Maybe its a case of high expectations, but the game is a bit boring. It is like a cross between Half-Life 2 and Condemned, neither of which impressed me. The environment is repetitive and so are the enemy soldiers. Graphics are just OK. I thought I would like this more from the PC reviews and the Live demo. I'd like it more at $40, $60 is way too much for what feels like an old game.

I really wanted to love this game. There is nothing wrong with the visuals or the gameplay. The bullet time was awesome(first time in a first person shooter?), and when the action happened, it was a great gaming experience. It's just that there seems so little of it. The hallucination stuff was very cool, and the game started off with a bang. But the further I went along(after cruising the endless parade of office hallways and checking countless answering machines and computers), I just got bored. I can think of a dozen first person shooters that are better than this...maybe two dozen. Sure, it looks 'prettier' than some, and it does pick up some near the end, but by that time it was too little too late.

I love the SLOW-MO option ,simular to matrix & maxx payne. The detailed enemy bodies flow nicely through the air and the bullet trails look quite kool. But they couldve added more detail levels. While some of the walls have some texture. Most of it is kinda plain grey 'blockey' type level design. This game didnt do much for me in the scare department. I never really felt scared or tense at all. Actually after playing such a detailed game like GEARS Of War. F.E.A.R is very very Bland in level detail and design. I fely myself getting bored waiting for another firefight. Actually the long walk to another firefight is simply the game loading another level. BUT I must say the FPS still is fun. The true gem of this game is the Slow-Mo effect .All in ALL a good shooter for the FPS fan. And the little girl 'fire walk' scenes look great.

Kind a scary but...

I you are looking for a game to scare the crap out of you, don;t buy this game. If you are looking for one that is unsettling and nervous, this is the game for you. Th actual gameplay is slow in my opinion. You have to walk around alot in order to find action. And when there is some, there are only few guys there to pop. By all means though, rent before buying this one yall.

The graphics are alright. Weaopns and people are good, but how the people move isn't.

I you are scared about the little girl, don't be. She aint that scary. The parts she comes are just very unsettling.

The game is very repetitive. There are the same environments over and over and nothing s new when it comes to the maps. And the whole shadow on the wall thing gets boring.

Overall, this game fun, but slow.

Great Graphics, but falls short

The game has really great graphics, but I just couldnt get into the game. I guess if you like to be scared while playing a FPS, this is the game for you. Nothing made me jump, but the game has a spooky feel. I couldnt get into the story or the character. I liked the slow-motion button, and destructible environments are fun. But after playing the first 4 chapters, I find myself not really interested.

This game I would have given it 5 stars. Don't get me wrong this is a good game. At certain points in the game I did get a little startled. I wished that it was made for 2 players. I didn't know it was a 1 player game, and it would have been nice to have a sidekick with you while you are battling the enemies. It still is a good game and if a second part comes yes I will buy it.

PRETTY F***ING AWESOME

I absolutely love this game. Why ? It's pretty damn awesome in its gory splendor of terror. While the graphics look dated, you'll hardly take notice during your furious gun battles against some of the smartest enemies in gaming. The feature that will probably prevent casual gamers from being brutalized entirely is the slow-motion action.I loved to watch my enemies be blown away in slow-motion, especially when I have a shotgun and my enemy becomes a geyser of blood and meaty chunks from one blast. Sure, this game may not be scary like Silent Hill or Resident Evil, but it's still a great game for scares at nightime for anyone who likes a game full frights. Plus now I can't wait for the arrival of F.E.A.R. Files in October and the sequel Point of Origin in the fall of 2008.
