Fear Effect

User Rating: 8.4 | Fear Effect PS
When the daughter of a powerful Chinese businessman disappears into the
hedonistic and dangerous Shan Xi Protectorate under mysterious
circumstances, our team of specialists infiltrate the city and attempt to
reach her first, hoping to leverage her safety for a sizable pile of cash.
We will have to search, destroy and fire-fight our way through the archaic
chaos of an alternate reality China and its inhabitants. Along the way, we
will be constantly challenged by the henchmen of the girl's father who have
no intention of letting us get to her first.

But what begins as a mercenary snatch and grab to retrieve a young runaway
instead becomes a mission more perilous and important than any other that we
could've imagined: a battle for the survival of the planet against the King
of Hell and his minions. For the deeper we delve into the interior of the
worlds, the more we discover that Shan Xi is more than a claustrophobic
enclave of villainy... it is also the literal Gate to Hell.

And using Shan Xi as a staging ground, the King of Hell plans to release the
ultimate evil upon the earth... the purification of the planet by cleansing
fire. We must stop him and discover the truth behind the seemingly innocent
girl who is herself hiding a secret so terrible that many will die before it
is revealed. We're gonna need plenty of skill, plenty of luck and plenty of
ammunition.

Once the game begins, run around the helicopter to the right, and press the
red light in front of the helicopter. Once you have been lowered down, equip
the pistol, and follow the catwalk around until you reach the two guards.
Kill them, then run over to the nearby ladder. Examine the window next to
the ladder. Shoot the window, then climb inside the room through the window,
then head to the back of the room and grab the fuse from the shelf. On your
way out of this room, pull the red lever near the window to release the steam
that'll get rid of a guard ahead. Now leave the room through the window, and
go up the ladder. At the top, run over to the wheel, and turn it then head
down the next ladder. At the bottom, grab the Gate Key that the guard dropped
earlier. Now head over to the gate, and use the Gate Key on it to go through it.

Once you are through the gate, use the pistol to kill the guards, grab the Red
Keycard that one of them dropped, and use it on the nearby door with the red box
next to it. In this room, save your game, then examine the video screens on the
control panel to view a cut-scene. Now leave the room through the other door,
and kill the two guards. Grab the Uzi that one of them dropped, then run around
the iron catwalk to the right, past the elevator and giant fans, and you'll
enter an area with many guards on a blue floor. Kill off the guards, then go
across the
blue floor.

In the next room, save your game, then grab the Locker key from the back of the
room. Go down the stairwell, kill the 2 guards, veer to the left, and use the
fuse on the green fusebox. Now go all the way back to the second save room (the
one with the two lockers, and the video screens). On the way there you'll
encounter the same blue floor, only this time it's electrified. To get past it,
you'll have to wait for the first tile to stop charging, run on it, wait for
the upper-most tile to stop charging, run onto it, then go down-left and wait
for that tile to stop charging, run onto it, then run across the rest of the
tiles until you get to the other side.

Once you are back at the Locker Room, use the Locker Key on locker number 67.
In here, you'll find a Blue Keycard and another pistol. Now you can hold two
pistols at the same time, John Woo style. Now go back to the next area with
the giant fans and the elevator. Take the elevator down.

Once at the bottom, exit the elevator and go to your left and grab the Wire
Cutters from the yellow box on the wall. Now continue on and follow the
walkway, past the colorful display on the wall, past the door with the red box
near it, until you get to a guard. Kill him, and go forward until you reach a
door with with a blue box next to it. Use the Blue Keycard to open it and go
through it.

After the cut-scene, kill the guards in the room, but be careful NOT to shoot
Jin (the tied up guy), or else you'll detonate the bomb. Now run over to Jin,
use the Wire Cutters, and you'll have to detonate the bomb. Here's how:


First, select the orange button, and cut the red, then the yellow wires. Next,
highlight the purple button and cut the red, then the blue wires. Last,
highlight the green button, and cut the blue, then yellow wires.

After saving Jin, you'll get the explosives. Go to the door that's near the
elevator, and has the red box next to it. Use the explosives on the door, and
enter the doorway. Now follow the path until you see the fusebox, then go up
the stairway and kill the guard at the top and save your game here.

Now backtrack all the way to the second save room again (locker room), but
only go to the door. Once you are at the door, turn around and go down the
ladder beneath the Japanese writing on the wall. Once at the bottom, exit
the room and you'll be on the balcony of the building, and there are four
HUGE Japanese symbols. Kill the 2 guards, and follow the catwalk into the
next room.
