F.E.A.R. was one of the top first-person shooters for the PC last year, and now it comes to the 360. And, oh, does it come. F.E.A.R. was known for its intense firefights, innovative gameplay, gorgeous graphics, and of course, the parts that scare the crap out of you. The 360 port has all of those things, and there seems to be no difference between the PC version and the Xbox 360 version. F.E.A.R. stands for First Encounter Assault Recon, they seem to mainly deal with paranormal incidents and they go in to investigate. First of all, F.E.A.R. is a scary game, scarier than Doom 3, by far. At times in the game you will encounter a little girl named Alma. And when you do see her there will be some crazy s*** going on. She is the reason why most people will want to turn the TV off and go pee themselves. The game has some REALLY terrifying moments. The story centers around Alma and how she fudged everything up. F.E.A.R. starts out with Alma freeing a lunatic that has a telepathic link between him and a group of elite soldiers. You find out that he likes to literaly eat he victims. So it is your job to go in, secure the area, and kinda save the world. The game has a pretty high difficulty and can be frustrating in some points in the game, but that won't keep you from being amazed of how well done the firefights are. They are some the most intense firefights I have ever experienced in a game. The thing they throwed in to cool down the firefights is slow-motion. Yes, they have have done this in other games, but in F.E.A.R. it is almost a necessity to use in order to survive. The graphics of F.E.A.R. is the thing that makes the game shine. Although they could have textured things up a bit more. Just the look of the blood and the bullet sparks are a thing to beheld. The sound is a another great quality of F.E.A.R. The ambient music is something that will send a chill down your back. F.E.A.R. is one of those games that is memorable, but not a game that will send you off your feet; it still is a great game that shoul not be missed nonetheless. Rent it, but if you are a hardcore fan of the FPS genre and like the horror type of game, it is a buy!
I want to talk about recommendation for this game 1st because it highly depends how much you get scared. Not a lot of games scare me, even Resident Evil 4 didn't keep me up at night but FEAR did. It even gave me a few he... Read Full Review
The first time I saw FEAR was a couple of years ago when I played the demo on my PC. It looked like it had a lot of potential, and was one of those games that I was going to purchase eventually. However over time I sta... Read Full Review
