Two great expansion packs in one disk
I own FEAR and Extraction Point on the PC but I still chose to buy FEAR Files because Extraction Point did not run smooth enough on my PC hardware which was high end two years ago. I notice this is common for expansion packs to have reduced performance. On the Xbox 360, FEAR Files didn't let me down. Perhaps it is expectable but you will like the speed in my seat. In an instant battle where smoke and particles fly in the air, the framerate is still around 30 frames per second. Most of the time, it is above 60 fps.
My PC does not have FEAR installed yet after the last crackdown. I don't want to insert so many disks before I can play so I chose FEAR Files.
Unlike what others have said, this one isn't very bad. Surely I want to be the Point-man again instead of this sergeant but it is nothing to complain much about. You have more open environments and pleasant graphics. Of course, things still look as if they are made of plastic but I am not the type of graphics duke. The presence of great looking games like Crysis wowed me but I don't look down to older games. Honestly, the real world is beside us and why shall we seek the reality graphics so desperately in games instead? Perseus Mandate is more action-paced but Alma still kicks ass. In my opinion, Perseus Mandate makes a better impression than the demo of Project Origin. The story is longer than Extraction Point I think and you will love it if you like FEAR in the first place.
Nothing more to say. Awesome expansion. But it can be boring to kill replicas from start to finish and then spirits sent by Alma. Perseus Mandate lets us kill ATC guards, Replicas and the new mercenary force too. About EP, I just discovered you can kill Norman Mapes in the Memorial hospital. Type "Kill Norman Mapes" on Youtube to know how.
