F.E.A.R.

THE GOOD:

Weapons are very efficient, especially the futuristic ones

Very good enemy AI

Plot is complex and with a lot of surprises

Ambiance of fear strengthened in the offices

Soundtrack is marvelous

The special power of the hero is very useful

THE BAD:

A too long passage in the offices

You can only carry three weapons, you had to make a choice... unless cheating

Why does Alma keep attacking the hero at the end?

SUMMARY:
You knew that leaving the army for a special unit concerning paranormal would have turned as an interesting experience. But you couldn't imagine the truth you'd find during your first mission... You don't know who you really are. You just know that being a soldier was the goal of your life. You just know that you can be very fast for killing your enemies. You've joined the F.E.A.R. unit and for your first mission, you have to arrest Paxton...

Linear Gameplay
Getting Repetative At Times

SUMMARY:
It was nearly like it was a year ago when HL2 came to the stores, I rushed to get me a copy of F.E.A.R. expecting it to be like HL2 or even better. Well honestly HL2 I do like a tip more but somehow these two titles can not be measured to each other since HL2 got the advance to pick up to a good beginning of a Story already introduced by HL1 which's definitely outstanding. F.E.A.R.'s Story is great aswell but suffers a bit in deapth, but since I loved the X-Files I got hooked to this games Storyline right ahead. Fast paced action right from the beginning.

Some scary moments,...

THE GOOD:
Not much. Sounds and taunts were very good and fights were spectacular as in good graphics if you have a high end PC.

THE BAD:
Too Simple. No real storyline. All the same boring places repeating again and again and no variety to kill the boredom. Also found the so called 'remarkeable AI' way too easy. The best AI I have come across so far was in Far Cry but in FEAR the AI is so dumn you can shoot many of them in the back and you'll hear 'where is he'?

SUMMARY:
To accurately gauge just how good an FPS is you have to compare it with the best out there and I'm afraid F.E.A.R. just doesn't cut it with the best. I got it cheap & I bought it to see what all the hype was about and that's all I sadly found it was - hype.

For a start you can't interact with your environment which makes it extremely uncreative and dull compared to games like HL2, Far Cry and Dark Messiah. With HL2 there were a lot of different scenes and a lot of...
