Perseus mandate was the worst installment out of the fear franchise. But isn't totally lost.

User Rating: 6.5 | F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate PC
By Private-Ryan | Review Date:
The original fear was kick ass! Very atmospheric, disturbing and creepy, it had tons of blood and wicked weapons to experiment with on your enemies. A true classic and blood soaked masterpiece. Extraction point was good, not as fun as the first game but still had its moments of glory. Perseus mandate, just let the franchise down and failed at being a worthy stand alone game. It is still worth playing and isn't awful from start to finish. But for the most part it is just atrocious!

The good:

It adds 3 new weapons in the game for you to toy around with and experiment. The first new weapon is a advanced rifle with a nightvision scope, the second is a grenade launcher and the third is a lightning arc gun. It also includes all the other weapons from fear and extraction point making a beefy and wicked arsenal.

It also adds 4 new enemies into the game for your personal enjoyment of blowing the newcomers in half. The new enemies are, a different type of atc soldier, a new type of alma ghost, nightcrawler soldiers and nightcrawler elites. The nightcrawlers are probably the hardest enemy in the game you'll face, they have extremely powerful weapons and move hell fast, you'll probably end up wasting all your ammo trying to kill only one of these guys. On the hardest difficulty the nightcrawlers are a pain in the ass and almost impossible to kill, and if you think that sounds bad then wait till you face the nightcrawler commander, HOLY **** is he hard! I died about 1000 times trying to kill the stupid ****

Perseus mandate adds way more models and insignias for multiplayer making the customization of your online character even better then before.

After beating the campaign on perseus mandate you unlock 3 bonus levels, they are all plot-free and involve you having to battle through several waves of enemies to reach the end. They are the funnest feature in perseus mandate except multiplayer of course.

The bad:

The graphics and gameplay are virtually identical to the original, nothing has changed at all except the addition of a few new weapons, enemies and the bonus levels. Basically this game didn't have to be made, I would have happily waited for fear 2 and did not need perseus mandate to hold me over. So even though it has been made, I would recommend playing it. Its pretty much the same as the first 2 as far as graphics and gameplay goes. It does include a few new things as I stated before, but that isn't enough to get it above the score I rest it at. So check it out, but don't expect much.
