Fear Files offers two stand alone expansion packs to the original Fear, although only one of them even comes close to reaching the quality of the original game. Extraction Point, the best game in this expansion, takes place right after the ending of the original Fear. You play as the same character and go around killing the clone soldiers again. Just like the original Fear, you fight these clone soldiers for most of the whole game. Suprisingly the a.i. still doesn't feel dated in any way. It is still a lot of fun to use your slow mo and then shoot a guy in the face with the shotgun. And at first glance Extraction Point seems to be really good. But as you continue playing you'll realize that a lot of the big stage set battles of the original are almost not existent in Extraction Point. The enviornments are way to small, and thus it becomes hard to get flanked by the enemy. The a.i. does try to move in and out of cover, but there is only so much room for them to move before they get shot. The shooting action in Extraction Point is still solid fun, but doesn't live up to the original. In Perseus Mandate things start to get worse. The great action of Fear is mostly gone and is now mostly revolving around activating slow mo at the perfect time and perfect accuracy, instead of trying to be smart and overcome the game's smart a.i. Persues Mandate's story is also not very interesting as you play as a new character and doesn't have much to do with what happens in the original Fear. All told these two games are still somewhat enjoyable. The original Fear was quite a thrill ride with it's supersmart a.i. and it's constantly intense, addictive shooting. Fear Files still has the smart a.i. but loses some of the intense action by making the enviornments to small, and also not having enough of the clone soliders to shoot. Fear Files still has multi-player but good luck finding anyone to play with. The mutli-player is exactly the same as the original, except with some new modes. Fear Files still has Instant Action but now 8 maps instead of just 4. The content in Fear Files is pretty good, and if you are a fan of the original Fear you'll still want to see the new content.
