i've played countless first person shooters now, and i have to say, F.E.A.R. is one of the best games i've played, if your looking for a challenge in shooting enemies then this would be it as it has the most impressive AI's a game can give, this is a MUST for 1st person shooters, don't miss it out!

The game is cool as far as the graphics and special effects. However the controls feel a little awkward when you try to maneuver. The story line and cinematics are great -though I have not finished the game yet.

Multiplayer feels like CounterStrike.

Be prepared: this game has scared the c[...] out of me to the point I have to play it during the day.

Very Good

I have enjoyed this game very much. The only problem I have had is it is so dark even with the flashlight on it can be very difficult to see. I don't understand why the flashlight has such a short period to stay lit I think they needed to go shopping at Home Depot before going on the mission and getting a flashlight that would stay lit a little longer.
Overall a fun game.

Not Bad

I didn't think this game was going to be that creepy, but it turned out to be more than that. It makes you jump when you least expect it too, but as some reviewers said, it doesn't amount to anything. Similar to Doom 3, you'll know when something "scary" is going to happen, but in this case, you don't ever get attacked by anything, just spooked.

The game's AI is very good, knocking down things to take cover, and they'll even try to flank you and trap you if you're not that careful. Sadly, there aren't a lot variety in the enemies. Later on in the game, you see the same soldiers attacking you, only they have more armor on. Environments do tend to look the same everywhere you go, too, and it's always night time. How else is the game supposed to be creepy, right? The "ending" is very disappointing, but that's why there's FEAR: Extraction Point. I don't have that one, but I heard it falls short as well, about a 4 hour game.

The sound in this game will show you how important it is to hear everything. If you have a good sound system set up, you'll definitely appreciate this, which brings me to the next topic: The Online Multiplayer.
If you have your headphones on, this game does a great job in picking up every footstep and everything minute sound your enemy makes. Therefore, not only do you have to listen for your enemies, you have to watch where you step and WHEN you move.
There aren't too many maps too choose from, but this game takes advantage of new ways of attacking, such as the jump kick and the kick slide, which gives you an easy kill everytime. Testing your skills against players from around the world will truly prove how good or how bad you really are.

Lastly, and probably most importantly, make sure your computer can handle this game!! If you don't have enough RAM or a good graphics card, this game will chug your system to its knees. No joke either. It's preferred that you have a dual core to have this game running smoothly, but that's not always the case. Just set your settings low, and you should be fine.

Overall, great game, although nothing too ground breaking. The sound is excellent, and if you have a good video card, the graphics are superb. Enemies are a bit repetitive and levels all look the same, but playing the game online will make you appreciate this game so much more.

WOW What detail!!

Playing this game with a 8800gts video card and a 22 inch screen is just about as fun as you can get

A little disappointed.

I have been waiting 6 months to play this game. I have just built a Vista computer and loaded it up. Graphics are excellent and artificial intelligence is very good. However, I find it very repetitive.

pretty good but not great

The graphics are really good, and the effects, like the slow motion effect, are great. The AI is pretty good as well. And there is some humor in it. Like when you meet the first girl, you have to escort her out the building, and she keeps making sarcastic remarks like "Do you HAVE to kill EVERYONE?!?" I thought it was pretty funny.

Now for the bad parts of the game. I think the thing I hate most is that your character cant run fast. In other words, he can never sprint. When he walks, he walks extremely slow, and it's not a video card problem. And when you toggle on run mode, he only walks a little faster. He is certainly not capable of running fast at all. His slow movement, combined with very repetitious mazes of office buildings makes it a bit boring.

Other than the fact that most of the maps are repetitive, and your character can't run fast, ever, I give it 4 stars. I only have to knock of stars because they made it so repetitive. But there are enough points in the game (although not often enough) where the action is absolutely entertaining.

F.E.A.R rewrites the "true" meaning of fear, does it deserve the hype?

As you have heard, F.E.A.R (AKA First Encounter Assault Recon) became the game of the year; its graphics, intense fire-fights, some interesting bits of multiplayer, and horror all managed to be rolled-up into a bizarre though interesting game. First, lets have a look at what this flick is about!

You play a new recruit into the secret goverment team known as First Encounter Assault Recon (AKA F.E.A.R). Now, a whacko cannibal known as Paxton Fettel (Hannibal possibly) escaped from the ATC Security building and programs a group of cloned soldiers to break havok across this American city with no name. Because you are able to with-stand Fettel's mind-raping tricks (Ringu, The Ring; note that parts have been borrowed from The Shining possibly), you were sent to take care of this trouble and find out a few plot twists along the way.

For a game that intense, it is pretty short. But it is still worth the hype it gets. Now, a note here is that F.E.A.R is very bloody though not as gory as other titles like *cough* God of War or Doom 3 but it still has a medium-sized amount of the red stuff. Also some dismemberment can occur with some of the weapons (someone exploded with one shot of a pistol at one point; very pointless. Not really gory but still suggestive). Also, the cut-scenes can be disturbing to some people but nothing really too graphic. You will also need a good computer to experience this game but you'll probably need a vista or a good XP.

There are rumors that F.E.A.R is flooded with "strongest of language" but I am happy to say that there are moderate language involved. There are F-words and S-words but very minor considering the rating they got (and it deserves the strong language note). Almost every character uses these words (how did the cloned soldiers learn them? :P) but like I said, not very frequent.

And for you horror fans, F.E.A.R has have creepy though not scary scenes. You'll encounter a strange girl known as Alma who can appear anywhere when you least suspect it (I really mean it). In my case, I didn't call it scary, but just eerie. Since it borrows themes from Japanese horror films and the famous "The Shining"; F.E.A.R managed what Doom 3 has failed to be.

The A.I in FEAR is legendary. They'll hide somewhere and attempt to flank you while you aren't paying attention. They will also kill you easily if you don't hide and shoot (happened to me several times.) FEAR is not a run-down-and-shoot game but to answer that, you can use SloMo action for a brief moment to take on certain enemes (The Matrix or Max Payne).

Is it worth it? Yes it is but take my words with caution! And some teens won't be able to handle playing FEAR at night but I luckily managed to do so without scare, though creeped out.

Great game
