Product Description
In F.E.A.R. you aren't a soldier -- you are a weapon. A paramilitary force infiltrates a multi billion dollar aerospace compound taking hostages, but issuing nodemands. The government responds by sending in its best special operations teams, only to have them obliterated. Live footage of the massacre is cut short by an unexpected wave of destruction that leaves military leaders stunned and in disbelief. With no other option, they send in the ultimate warrior: You.

Rock solid, highly polished shooter June 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I found a copy of FEAR for sale on the bargain rack at my local games store. I admit I thought it wouldn't be very good, since it was on the same shelf as dreck like Two Worlds. The game store I use is trying so hard to get rid of their last copies of that horrible excuse for an RPG that they've reduced the price three times. Last I checked it was ten bucks. I got my copy of FEAR for twenty. And let me tell you--it was worth the full sixty most games fetch these days.
I popped it in and started playing. At first I couldn't quite get the hang of the controls. Enemies mowed me down a few times and I had a bad experience with a game glitch at the end of the first level. It didn't load the cutscene, and I didn't know any better, so I thought I still needed to do something. I spent almost two hours going through that level, searching every nook and cranny, before it occurred to me to try and play the level through again. This time the cutscene played and I could move on.
And good lord I'm glad I stuck with it.
The story gets a little better with each chapter, though it's not the main focus (this is a pure shooter, after all). It's not bad. There are several paranormal influences in the game, and your character is subject to intense visions that are genuinely creepy at times.
The action, which is the core of FEAR, is GREAT. This game features "bullet time," in which you can slow down time enough to get the drop on your foes. The animation and graphics are so tightly executed that you really get your blood pumping in a firefight as bullets ricochet around you and kick up clouds of brick dust from walls and concrete.
The physics is excellent. I found the most satisfying thing in the game was to go into bullet time, move up on a foe, and blast him point-blank with a shotgun, then release bullet time and watch him get blown backwards over a railing by the slug. It's all very slick and entertaining.
While it's billed as being a horror experience, don't be fooled. It's definitely a shooter first with horror undertones. But those undertones are well-done, too, and you'll have a few anxious moments between the firefights.
You'll have a lot of fun with this game if you enjoy first-person shooters. I highly recommend it. If there's any reason why I didn't give it five stars, it's only because there is no one area in which it stands out. It's a shooter, plain and simple. In short, you've played this game before--but you'll still have as much fun this time around as you did last time, and the time before that.
 Black+Silent Hill=FEAR May 24, 2008
It's definitely the port of an older title, but what it lacks in cutting edge graphics, it makes up for in sound quality, and replay value. If you're a FPS fan, this is one to pick up. Action reminds me of Black for the last-gen consoles, sound effects/scary visuals kind of remind me of a Silent Hill game. Online is a blast, and with the recent price drop there are still a lot of regular matches going on XBLA. Used copies as low as $12, what have you got to lose?
Scary!! May 20, 2008
It had me jumping out of my seat a few times. The online is lacking along with the storyline. I'm still not sure what happen at the end. However, the game play is fun and the graphics amazing.
the awesomest game i ever played April 15, 2008
i rented this game at my local video store and i played i was amazed with everything the graphics the enviorment and the gameplay.im thinking of buying fear files so i can play perseus mandate my point is its a awesome game so PLAY!!! PLAY!!! PLAY!!!
 I was excited about this game, then I played it. April 15, 2008
This game has received great reviews and plenty of acclaim and popularity. All of this has made me greatly look forward to playing this game. Alas, once I started playing it I found that the combat was very sloppy, a lot like Timesplitters. Sometimes the graphics looked a bit fuzzy, almost like it wasn't finished. Features that people claimed were original, like slowing down time, certainly were not. Something I did like though, is the ghostly, or haunted moments. They got the moments that make this game different than others down to perfection. In fact, those moments are the only thing keeping my score above a 6.0. So the bottom line is, this game is essentially a very generic shooter with one well done twist. Maybe try renting it, you could enjoy it and then come back here and call me a weirdo for my opinion.
