F.E.A.R. review, if you haven't played it yet --> read it!
Oh man, what can I say – this game is finger-lickin’ good! Though it has some minor ( and completely forgivable… ) flaws, such as almost entirely linear story and quite high hardware demands, it really kicks you in the head and leave you wanting more. The big plus for the game is that it avoids nicely the dull repeatibility of „scary” moments, which was a big drawback for DOOM3 and made the game boring and predictable. And FEAR is all about … well fear, it grips you by the balls from the start and the tension keeps rising as you dwell deeper into the game. Firefights are freakin’ fast and frantic, and thanks God and monolith for the slow-mo, because the AI of your computer opponents is devilishly cunning, and more than a few times you will find yourself heavily outnumbered, with enemies trying to get behind you and looking for cover. The graphics are astonishing and, a little advice, if you have a machine that will be able to support all the fireworks, try looking for your jaw under the table. And the last but certainly not least, the Sound ( with the capital S ), damn this game surely builds the atmosphere with it and the FX are simply great, bullets whizzing, grenades exploding and people screaming and whispering…by the way, try shooting the telephone . The only thing left to say is PLAY, PLAY, PLAY ( and better not drink too much before, cause you might have a bladder problem ).
