You should FEAR not having this game! This is the best FPS I've played in YEARS. The game had a good length, not too short or long. Can't wait for more. This game goes WAY overboard on the bad language. I found a hack to cut out most of the cursing (google it) and that made it better. I'm all for throwing it in as an accent to the action, but they go too far and it does nothing for the story. minus 1 star for language

Don't F.E.A.R. is just a game...

A very original game comes out the box...

Dont get cooky with the idea that you need a "powerful" v.card to run this game, minimun a 6600GT and you're ready to frag.

The storyline is impressive, in some part of the game you'd think that you are in some kind of movie, an action-terror movie to be specific. The thing doesn't end there, someone tell 'ya that is a short game, well it's true, but if you play this game twice after a long time you'll notice that the scary moments are strong and sadistic than ever before. Don't compare this game with Doom3 or Half-Life 2... this game has it's own spooky scenes and also good NPC's... buy it and play it, you won't be dissapointed. :P

Salu2... ;)

Amazing A.I.!

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.

F.E.A.R .... a FPS with a Horror theme

Generally I enjoyed this game, but honestly, I was glad to be through it; paranormal horror is just not my preference for a FPS.

The Pros:

Good smooth action and great graphics if you've the hardware to run it properly.

Spooky atmosphere, (better than Doom3) with some surprises that will give you a jolt.

Easy game saves (and you need to do this very often) with the quick save F5 key, as well as several checkpoint saves done by the game itself.

Some new weapons and some interesting enemies; The Slow/mo feature really added an interesting aspect of some of the firefights you get into. In fact, it would've been very difficult to get through this game without it.

The Cons:

1.)Very linear game play when on a mission.

2.)Only three types of building used throughout the entire game; that being 1.) office tower, 2.) decaying apartment building and 3.) vault/research center. The office towers had the majority of the action; but the multiple cubbyhole workstations, made for very repetitious play and became quite monotonous after a while (not to mention confusing). There was only a few short outside scenes.

3.)It was difficult, in many cases, to figure out where to go next, once your mission was completed (especially true in the office towers). I found that once you completed a mission, some previously locked door or gateway became open, and you had to go back and find it before you were able to proceed on your new task.

4.)You only had access to your 3 most recent saved games; and, as you could only carry three weapons at any one time, it was sometimes difficult to know if you should pick up a new weapon (while discarding another one) just before you were about to change locales forever (where you could not possibly return to without restarting a previously saved game).

5.)No "bosses" to fight, even at the end. A rather dull and anticlimactic finale. "Boss" fights have always been one of my favorite parts of FPSs and I missed them in this game.

6.)And finally, the game has no replay value whatsoever; I can't think of a single mission or scene I'd be remotely interested in replaying again.

All in all, a different type of FPS. If you don't mind the horror aspect, then this is a game you might enjoy.

Nothing Original, You've seen it all before....

Is it fun shooter, yes. Does it have good graphics, yes. Is the AI good, yes. BUT WHAT THE HECK AM I PLAYING? An interactive movie, Attack of the clones, or the horror movie The Ring. I thought I was going after a psycho villan hiding in a mental hospital, but I'm in Half Life's Black Mesa shooting a bunch of guys in armor. At times, it is too dark and things jump out so it must be Doom without monsters. It has scary cut scenes, but I can't figure out what they mean. Nice ghostly appearances when you walk into the room add to the scare factor.

Don't expect to kill anything on the first mission, and maybe a couple guys on the second mission. The game is also predictable. when there is a lot of health laying around, something bad is coming. Sierra/Monolith just took things from all the other games and built it into their own. Unfortunately their game engine requires a powerful computer. I don't get it, because the physics are good, not great.

I have a 3Ghz, 1.5GB memory, Radeon9700, and the recommended play is at 640x480. I can run others at 1280x768. The load time is better than most. I do like that dead bodies sticking around, but bullet holes don't show up anywhere. You can't destroy a lot of things, but shooting a computer mouse is fun.

Fun but Kinky

FEAR was a very enjoyable game. But you have to have the hardware to support the graphics or else it looks really bad. I was blown away by the sound! Screams and gunfire sounded amazing. Story was good and very gorey, ghost girl was also very scary. She made me load my shorts a couple of times. But some boring blah moments and some really corny humor wore down on me. Voice acting was ok, some guys would sound british at one point and then would sound american in the SAME SENTENCE. But no biggy. Overall FEAR is a very good game.

GRAB A GRUDGE AND RING AND HALO

this game was AMAZING. i never usually play pc games, i only played halflife 1&2. but a friend of mine was talking about this game called FEAR. i listened so intently to his explanation about it, that just HEARING about this game made me buy it. this game had my skin crawling... it is MUCH SCARIER than doom 3. in fact, it will spook doom3 off your hard drive. i get so scared sometimes that i will have to quit the game to gather my thoughts about what was going on. key "boo" moments had me yell out and jump. the gameplay itself is fantastic. from the great graphics to the matrix like slow mo to the awesome story line. this game was a hit to me befor ei even played it. get this game. it is a must have.

Holy Toledo!

Fear is the sort of game I've been waiting for, amid a sea of lukewarm shooters and forgettable sequels. I found my Athlon XP-3700 with a 6800GT was able to run it acceptably at good old 1024X768, which was good enough for me.

The story was confusing at first, but the mystery of what was going on kept me moving. I don't think it spoils anything to say that one of the characters was based heavily on the little girl from The Ring. The plot expands and builds on the premise, to a conclusion that is wide open for a sequel.

The gameplay is state of the art, with enemies that are fast and smart, and for once plausible sci-fi weapons beyond the rank and file you normally see in shooters. The game plays like the city levels of Half-Life 2 mixed with a horror story, and it's well balanced, giving us slow periods in between the action levels.

The atmosphere, however, is what compels it. I believe the game is supposed to be set in the modern day, but I felt it was more a near future, with a lot more going on than we're seeing on screen. Definitely a must-play.

This game is flawless.. just as good as classics like half life 2,doom 3 and quake 4!!

first of all.. i am a great fan of 3d fps games.. i think these games are the best and the most interactive games out there..
never was really that interested in stratergy or racing games.. these games are just too boring..

F.E.A.R. is one game that really stands out in the fps genre because of its coolness factor, its storyline and of course.. its GUN FIGHT SEQUENCES!!(some of the best slo-mo gunfights ever..MATRIX WHO??!!!)

i actually wanted to get my hands on it the moment i read the reviews and saw the screenshots.. and its even better when you play it..

i have an athlon 3500+, an nvidia geforce 6600 256mb card and 1 gb ram.. exactly what u need to play this game..it runs perfectly (of course an nvidia geforce 7800 is always preferred, for those who can afford it!!)

the slo mo is available throughout the game.. and this is one special power you might wanna use in every single gunfight..
i tried tossing a proximity grenade at a soldier's face and all i could see was a huge sphere of blood, bones and flames.. you actually feel like quick loading the game and doing it over and over again.. high level of detailing and immense gore throughout the game..
but make sure you get the dvd for flawless performance.. it runs without any hitches(thank god!!) and i think my system is not top of the line.. but its good enough.

lets get to the best part.. the guns.. i've played doom 3, half life 2, quake 4 and f.e.a.r. and would rate the following guns on the basis of their style, sounds, reloading actions, damage and on-screen looks in the descending order.. here goes :

1. the particle gun (F.E.A.R.)

the coolest gun i have ever seen.. try shooting 3 soldiers in a row with this gun in slo mo.. and this gun just tears them apart.. the mother of all railguns!! (5 out of 5!!!!!!!!!)

2. dark matter gun (quake 4)

of course the most high end weapon in the game.. and rightly so.. you might wanna reserve your ammo for later.. but as soon as you get your hands on this baby.. you cant help using it.. one of my all time favourites.. more like the bfg 9000 in doom 3.. only way cooler!! 5 out of 5!!

3. plasma gun (doom 3)

this gun might not be the most effective.. but with doom 3 graphics and gameplay.. its an instant favourite. remember the plasma gun in doom 2.. wait till you reload it.. u'll love it!! 4 out of 5!

4. rocket launcher (doom 3)

effective and with a cool realoading action.. you cant compare it with the rocket launchers in quake 4 and half life 2.. its just way too good!!

i just love the guns in fps.. got to play doom 3 and f.e.a.r. long after their release dates.. but am so glad i did.. the amount of visual detailing and thinking that goes into making these guns a visual treat.. pure eye candy.. hats off to the guys at monolith and ID..

getting back to f.e.ar... the story is gripping and scary.. try playing it with the lights off in a dark room (now who would wanna do that??) and you'll know how creepy this game is.. really.. alma just turns up out of nowhere.. blood everywhere.. and those creepy sounds.. oooohh. this game is so much fun!! a true horror FPS classic.. PLEASE PLEASE... DONT MISS IT!!!

GO AND BUY IT RIGHT NOW.. YOU MIGHT NEED TO BUY A NEW PC OR UPGRADE YOUR OLD ONE.. BUT FOR ALL YOU GAMING FREAKS OUT THERE.. ITS WORTH IT!! ABOUT TIME EVERYONE GOT OVER COUNTER STRIKE.. SINGLE PLAYER IS SO MUCH BETTER!!

Fun with fear

Easy to see why this was voted best shooter in 2005.
This game had great graphics and a good story.
Most fun I've had from a game in a long time-
Weapon selections are a crack-up!
