Entertaining but short

I enjoyed this game with the following caveat: It's too short. The game play is well done and fun. It offers some interesting variations on the Quake/first-person shooter genre. The story line is a little trite, however. The "Ring" element seems forced and contrived. For a spooky "Ring" like game, check out the Fatal Frame series.

Excellent Game (Spoilers)

I Just finished FEAR and I have to agree with those who give it the big thumbs up.

VERY atmospheric, and when they say spine tingling- no kidding I had the shivers numerous times. (SPOILER HERE)Story was very good, best in a long while, but it would have been better with a few choices- I'd like to have been the one to Kill Harlen Wade (Bastard), Norton Mapes (Fat Bastard) and shooting my own brother and mom? NASTY.

Overall good game balance- You always think you're going to run out of ammo, if you're mindful of that, you never do. AI is very good- handed me my A** on more than one occasion.

It's a little short, perhaps thats a different way of saying I would have enjoyed more. Level design- Repeatitive? Maybe, but I didn't mind too much.

Half life 2 Killer? In as much as you don't have to deal with STEAM to play the thing YES- Otherwise who cares! play both!

FEAR is a GREAT Ride. 4.5 or even 4.75 stars. A few quirks off of perfect, but I'm a demanding guy. I am definately looking forwardto FEAR 2. Bravo.

Better than Half-Life 2

I had been seeing footage of F.E.A.R. for a long time. Everyone was hailing it the next 'Half-Life 2'. I was hyped, except for one thing: my mortal fear of ghosts (no kidding).

So I bought it anyways. And like everyone who truly loves games will say, it is downright amazing. Even on a subpar graphics card, I really felt as though I was there. Every twist, turn, bullet hit, and board to the face, you really feel in an amazingly detailed world. The game literally feels like it's running a better version of the Half-Life 2 graphics and physics engine, and an altogether amazingly done AI engine.

But what sets this game apart from all else, is it's surprisingly well done story line. Not even the movie 'Fight Club' had such a well done twisting turning loopy doopy story line. It is this that makes the game great for the hardcore and casual gamers. It'll keep you hooked until it's startling conclusion. Where others will tell you of the amazing AI, I'll tell you that you'll never see such a great cinematic story woven in.

this game has a single player element unlike any i've ever seen. these guys made the creepiness of a movie in the tight-fitting wonderment that is this game. With all the little things that end up happening, i didn't know what to think of the game. at first, i was scared, then i was mortified, then i was enthralled... i was hooked from the first moment i played the game.

with elements such as a matrixesque "bullet-time," you can really take advantage of the superior engine's ability to just take advantage of your oponent's weaknesses. for instance, you can just bumrush six or seven guys and take them out, nail them to the wall, take their knees out, push them into a corner with a grenade, shotgun blast them strategically in the head, or whatever you want: it's all dependant upon how you want to play.

with the three gun limit, and the limitation of ladders and the like, the game really has a unique, realistic feeling. you begin to get an idea of how your gun is going to effect what it's hitting, how it's hitting it, the angle it's hitting it at, and, most importantly, how much damage is occuring because you decided to shoot them there.

i gave it a five, because, honestly, it set a bar that's only been upheld by mainstays such as quake or half-life. it's got a style that has not been matched, either.

graphically, it's gorgeous. specular lighting, realistic physics, incredible displays of elaborate textures... this game's got it all. it uses all high-end direct x 9.0c technology, so it's shader model 3.0 compliant. my suggestion: run it on a geforce 6xxx+, because you'll do it justice that way. otherwise, you're just spinnin' yer wheels.

i want to say it's one of the best of the year, but the year is not yet over, and there are games i am still looking forward to, so, let's just say it's friggin awesome, and i'd suggest it to anyone who's scared of little girls, or someone who wants to be: it's a sure-fire bet that you will be from then-on-out.

A new ERA in First Person Shooting

This game is awesome.

First,let's just say that the atmosphere is great , the guns are more "real" , the story is ideal and finaly the graphics are perfect.

I remember myself playing MaxPayne and then HalfLife2 and told myself that they were something different from the others.
But when I started FEAR I told that it was the combination of two but when I finished it turned to be better than the combination.

BEST action game of '05

F.E.A.R. got pcgamer's "Best Action Game of the Year" award for a reason. The A.I. is increiable, slo-mo is k1c|<@$$, and the story's great. No downfalls, unless you're a WINNY LITTLE STAR WARS FAN!!!! WTF!!!?!?!??! In short, buy this game.

At first I heard about this from a friend. I decided to go ahead and buy it to see how it was. I dont do much gaming during the day, mostly late at night before hitting the sack. I must say because I use a headset when playing games, I was pretty freaked out playing this game at some parts. Id be sitting on the edge of my seat, peaking around a corner to make sure the cost is clear, and all of a sudden a noise would screech and that freaky little girl would either create some sort of disturbing flashback, or just hover/walk past. The gameplay isnt that great but it's a decent game!

Very good

I found fear to be one of the best games around now.It is a intense shooter and very challenging.But after playing games like FarCry,Boiling Point and GTA Vice City it seems to be a small step backwards in the gamming community.
