Product Description
F.E.A.R. Gold is the action shooter where you're more than just a soldier - you're a weapon. When a paramilitary force infiltrates a multi-billion dollar aerospace compound taking hostages, special forces are sent in and obliterated. Live footage of the massacre is cut short by an unexpected wave of destruction that leaves military leaders stunned and in disbelief. This is where you come in. After this heated battle, you'll face the next chapter in the story with the F.E.A.R.: Extraction Point expansion pack. The F.E.A.R. - Extraction Point expansion gives you a new mission, with an even more horrifying storyline. Different bone-chilling environments heighten the intensity, while addiyional weapons helps you fight terrifying, supernatural new enemies.

 One of the best FPS ever! June 7, 2009
Igor (Brooklyn, NY USA)
This is the best FPS I played ever!
Smart enemies, large maps, powerful weapons, lots of surprises. Very dynamic and sometimes scary. Good video and audio effects.
You can play this game even on the old computer (though not on the high settings, of course). But to play it on high, you need at least 2GB RAM and dedicated video card (like nVidia GeForce 7600 / ATI Radeon x1600 or higher). Higher means both digits - the first and the second, like nVidia 8600 / ATI 2600 - not higher first and lower second digit. For example, nVidia 8400 IS NOT higher - it is much slower! The first digit designates the generation and the second designates speed and power. So, something like nVidia 9200 means that this card is the latest 9th generation, but is very slow. You want as high second digit as possible.
First time, I played FEAR on my HP dv5000 laptop (Windows XP Home, Intel Core Duo T2300 1.66 GHz, 1GB RAM, Intel GMA 950 Graphics) in 2006. It ran smoothly on low settings. I loved it so much, I bough a new laptop to play it on high settings.
Now, I play it (never get tired of it) on HP nx9420 mobile workstation: Windows XP Pro, Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 2.13 GHz, 4GB RAM, 256 GDDR3 NVIDIA Quadro NVS 510M (professional workstation variant of GeForce 7900GTX). It runs on the highest settings and never falls below 25-30 fps.
I bought FEAR Gold here, on Amazon, two years ago. It was delivered fast and in good condition. It consists of the original FEAR game and the Extraction Point expansion pack. Both work flawlessly and provide countless hours of entertainment.
Also, I like the fact that I do not have to change something like 4-5 CDs to install the game - both, FEAR and Extraction Point, are recorded on 1 DVD disk. But make sure your computer can play DVDs.
One of the best FPS's ever February 24, 2009
Cerulean Dragon (Lowell, MA)
Arguably one of my favorite FPS games ever. Great storyline, very riveting. I consider myself somewhat jaded to horror movies and games, so when I run across run that still makes me jump out of my skin, while being fun at the same time, I have to give it props. My girlfriend's a little bit more skittish and refuses to play it with the lights off like I do. I love this kind of game in the dark, gets you more into the ambiance. She's just started playing it recently and I love hearing the, "HOLY ****, WTF was that?!" over my shoulder.
As for the combat, it's pretty standard stuff, guns, grenades, things that go boom. I didn't find it all that difficult or complicated, don't expect a next-generation hardcore FPS w/fancy new weapons or insanely smart A.I. It's good enough in those aspects, but get it more for the story and environment. Kind of like Half-Life 1 and 2. I think a good storyline is where it's at, but if you disagree and you need your shiny weapons and massive battles, this might not be for you.
Truly Terrifying!! February 24, 2009
F. J. Alonso (Central Valley,CA)
F.E.A.R has great graphics and a great chilling atmosphere. The ability to interact with almost all objects (turning tables over, etc) and the slo-mo mode is a step foward for FPS. I highly recommend!!!
 Alright I suppose, nothing to right home about... February 11, 2009

Some thrills, some chills, some spooky affects but all in all nothing to write home about. Guess it sold enough copies to warrant a soon to be released sequel BUT I won't be signing up anytime soon. Still this game does provide some marvelous weapons, the Ice Gun is one of my faves as are the landmines and turrets, but other than that, it's been there... done that.

The game graphics and physics are amazing. It's very real, so real in fact that that's the only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. The online game is all fun, and playing against the computer can get downright scary. I recommend this game to any fan of first person shooters...it's the best I have seen yet.
