Doesn't even BEGIN to live up to what the other two games set as the standard. :(

User Rating: 6 | F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate PC
Perseus Mandate was, in a word, disappointing. After how much I liked the first game and its expansion I hastened to buy Perseus Mandate as soon as it became available, expecting another great expansion. Reality came in the form of a sledgehammer...

Perseus Mandate had its occasional moments (such as the loss of your first partner, the trip through the surgery room, and some of the other illusions) but the total game came out being more FPS than horror. In formula terms it was 3 parts FPS and only 1 part horror.

Also, the game didn't really introduce anything new to the plot, or at least nothing new that would help advance the plot any. The whole thing seemed bet on showing you things that you already knew and introducing things that you didn't need to know.

Final word: Buy it at your own risk. If you like FPS than you'll like this game, but if you liked FEAR and Extraction Point I'd just borrow Perseus Mandate from a friend, play through it, and then place it in a stack of CDs so large that you will never find it again.
