As a fan of F.E.A.R, I am waiting for F.3.A.R as much as you guys do. We all hope this game is gonna be better than FEAR 2: Project Origin. To be fair, FEAR 2 wasn't bad at all. Perhaps, it's just that our expectations were a little bit too high. A week ago, I played again F.E.A.R, Extraction Point, F.E.A.R 2, just to make sure I will follow the story and how awesome F.E.A.R was. With all excitement, F.3.A.R just let me down, and may be some of you feel the same.

Let just put all other things like graphics, music, or cut-scenes,etc, aside because some of them are ridiculously horrible. I can't imagine FEAR 3 turns to a crappy game, but we still have to pay $59.99. As the original, it heavily inspired by Japanese horror. The main source of the game's horror is Alma, a ghostly little girl. The faceless female ghost absolutely did her job that make all of us scared the **** out. All the time playing, I ain't scare nothing, but that little girl. I put my headphones on, and I feel like I am in deep **** just because of Alma.

And now F.3.A.R, I heard that they invited two horror masterminds, John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing) and Steve Niles (30 Days of Night). Well, what did they do to FEAR? They brought some kind of zombies or infected human to the game? They helped craft the story and scares in F.E.A.R 3 by agreeing that they should **** put a lot of blood. Do you feel fear because of that? I don't see any masterpiece in it. It's not necessary we have to see corpses or blood to be fear. Our mind can create the most fear by its imagination. However, a good thing in this game is that they developed the A.I. Those shooters are always troublesome. If you are not careful or keep walking straight, the next thing you do is "reload from the checkpoint." Besides, we can see some improvement with lightning soldiers ( dunno how to call 'em). It's kind of cool when they can teleport others, and it's harder to kill 'em. I dunno about you guys, but those gun Point Man use, it's like toy guns for me. I got no feeling about it.

Ah, about Point Man. We now can see his face. One thing I don't like is that he can't talk. I feel dumb when the character I play cannot talk. It **** sucks. Sorry about that. At least, we still hear Fettel voice. Quite awesome, but the telling story makes me sleepy. Nothing comes out at all.

Well, this is Sci-Fi First Person Shooter. What do we expect? A great story? I don't care about Multiplayer, I don't care about psych links, I don't care about ranking, or whatever, I just need something as good as F.E.A.R 1, so I can **** scream at night.

Sorry for keeping using bad words, but I am just disappointed. I really am =(

    Fails to match the Monolith games but not a terrible entry into the franchise

    FEAR 3 is an average shooter from Day 1 studios, the developers who brought FEAR to consoles. With some guidance from Monolith, Day 1 has created a sequel with a co-operative focus. During the campaign you are once again... Read Full Review
