An old classic that is fun to replay years later August 4, 2010 S. Waiblinger I recently played through FEAR again years after first buying it, and even though I remembered vaguely what was going to happen, the story still spooked me out at times. Although there is not much diversity in the level designs (your environment is one of 3 buildings), the levels play out really well.
Two things shine about this games - AI and sounds. The AI is still some of the better AI in a video game out there, and the sound is immersive.
At the time it was released, the multi-player was extremely fun and I played it for hours on end. Nowadays nobody really plays it anymore, and the few servers you find are riddled with hackers. If you can find a used copy of this game for a few bucks, it is worth it for the single player portion of the game.
Good Shooter with Some Scares June 3, 2010 Glenn Soltes (Mississauga, Ontario Canada) Fear was a good shooter with some creepy scares .... not much else.
There is almost no story development, in fact if the shooting was cut out the game would last 15 minutes.
The Good:
As a shooter it is great with a even difficulty curve and fair play. The devs didn't cheat much and when the Point Man died it was because of a mistake I made.
Atmosphere and graphics were great even by 2010 standards. IMO We don't really need much better graphics than Fear, we need more environment destructibility and better game play and environment interact-ability.
Fairly creepy.
The Bad:
There is little story and no point to what is there. Nothing is developed. The devs have sick negative minds and basically made death porn.
Same enemies over and over.
The whole clone soldier thing didn't mesh well with the supernatural thing. The telepathic thing wasn't developed at all and they could have been any old soldier and their voice were like all American heros. The ATF soldiers? All the same.
Voice mail messages are not a replacement for plot
Overall ..... a way over-rated game
Would Not Know!!! February 20, 2010 A. Morgan 0 out of 3 found this review helpful
Unfortunately I can't review this game because I never received it from the company I ordered it from. The company was THE BOOKGROVE. I ordered this game on January 15, 2010 and it's now February 20, 2010, and still no game. I will never order from that company again!!!
Unsatisfied Customer
started out good then declined December 8, 2009 Isaac R. Gerke (IL) i havent taken the time to finish the game yet (finals are coming up)so some of what i say might not be accurate for the entire game.
in the begining of the game it was really fun. it had some good shooting and was a lot like half life except scary. until you play the game you cant understand how it can be actually scary, but believe me it it, in some parts. the slow motion during the fighing is really cool. this game has really good AI for its age. it was a good game but it got worse maybe the ending of it will make it better.
FEAR September 15, 2009 Richard Silva (Victorville, Ca) This game is fun. Kinda creapy at times. About the only negative is the fact that it can be finished in about a day and a half. It was nice being able to find it at a low cost.
