F.E.A.R.

F.E.A.R. is just polished, period. If you have the system to handle the game, it is a must have for all gamers.

A true thriller in that it makes use of corner-of-the-eye imagery, unsettling voices, and effects to send chills down your spine which leads to a healthy dose of dread.

Take realistic physics, gorgeous visuals, plenty of immersing sound, psychological mind games, a pinch of horror and mix that with a storyline to rival any big budget movie and there you have it, something completely new.

Like no other game I've played, F.E.A.R. grabbed me by the throat, punched me in the gut, and made me pay attention and become my onscreen character. [Nov 2005, p.170]

An extremely well done shooter as far as the action goes, and only suffers from a few flaws such as the lack of level and enemy variety. If you can overlook those flaws, you will have a lot of fun battling a very elusive AI, which makes each and every firefight a unique and exciting experience.

Due to the fact that both elements of F.E.A.R., the horror and the action, are crafted so thoughtfully they seamlessly merge together to create a, if not unique, then at least very polished experience.

There's the requisite little Goth girl with long black hair to 'creep you out.' Thanks to its overuse, it's become the lens flare of horror. [Jan 2006, p.48]

Honestly the best fps game ever made. It's atmosphere perfect, Combat Perfect, Story Good and Characters Perfect. It's one of my favourite games of all time. Such a shame the future games didn't live up to fear1

Incredibly repetitive, poor level design, great AI that carries the entire game, and you can tell the devs knew they were making a great AI, because they abused it throughout the entire game, not adding more to it. Tries to be scary, fails. Might be the best shooter i have played, but fails at everything else. Boring office after boring office after boring office, if you’re lucky you might find a boring sewer, or a boring warehouse. I probably spent more time figuring out from which boring office i just came and to which boring office i should go. Slow-mo is great at first, becomes too important, to the point you have to use it almost all the time. The game is supposed to have fast paced action, but being unable to kill a single soldier or these stupid invisible ninjas without slow-mo, it kills it.

avarege game at start i find it diffuclt even on neasy mod not the enemies but the objective the level desin is trash i would gave a 6 but at the lvl 10 and 11 there some pure good moments and for this i gave a 7 ps i know is from 2005 but im revesiting nowdays and not pn some nostalgic ****

First some good things, really good Ai even for today. The Graphics are also good for 2005 and the controls aren't bad, nothing special. I really don't know what is happening in the story, you follow one guy and more I don't know. The game feels like a mix between Doom 3, a new guy have to fight against some randomn enemys on his own. The other part of the mix is a generic shooter. This game is nothing special,if I have to discribe it in on sentence I would say: It is like Doom 3, but Enemys have guns and they are smarter.
