Basic port from the PC but what was wrong with the original?

FEAR is one ripsnorter of an FPS, great graphics neatly presented in HD and a solid storyline. Not something you see everyday on a first person shooter now is it?

I don't want to reveal too much of the storyline but I will say this, it's f****** weird!

Graphically wise nothing to shout about but some great lighting and texture effects and all look great on a HDTV, however I find the sound a slight letdown as it is tinny and has no real oomph with the likes of grenades. That could just be down to the fact I'm used to Call of Duty 3. Anyway controls are a little odd to start off with and the sensitivity may need a few alterations for some gamers. There is obviously the main campaign to wade through but in addition to this is instant action and a reasonably good multiplayer element. Instant action is like a 15 minute blast out on a map where you can upload your best scores to Xbox Live.

FEAR is a good game and if you were considering buying it on the PC, get it on the 360 as there is an extra mission and the multiplayer element doesn't need to be downloaded.

Thanks for reading TKQ
