Developed by Monolith, F.E.A.R. is first person shooter that combines intense combat, creepy environments, and some seriously hardcore A.I. which means you'll find yourself on the edge of your seat from beginning to end, whenever you're not jumping out of it that is...read a full review

I'll try and keep it short :). Good game overall. Nothing new really. You come across a point in the game when you feel that the dark corridors are replaced by office buildings in this game, but just as you get sick of it, you advance to the next area. Weapons were really fun, i just hoped there would be more. I had lotsa fun with the AI, which was really a good job. The game had that ancient Half-Life feeling of constant advancing through some wild adventure :), which is good.

A note about the ending which, above all, shows how the game lacks the free-roam feeling. When in the very last scene, that "big thing" starts comming at you, i just wished they didn't put the fence right behind your back, but make that street longer, so that you can run away from the inevitable. That would really pump the adrenaline, IMHO.

copied HL2? wtf? jeezuz. I swear you smoke something. What an assinine thing to say Bill. Copied HL2, man, I will I could punch you through my monitor sometimes. Copied from hl2.. man...

FEAR is ok, mp is rather drab but the single player is exciting and good story. Right now nothing can tear me away from owning on COD2, that's right, even FEAR. I think FEAR is a little over rated personally but it's a nice looking game with a decent story. I'll give it that. If I had to say anything negative about FEAR it's the MP and Weapons. They are just too powerful. It's a corpse carnival and you don't really need big skill to aim.

Funny, up and until 2 months ago I thought I would be devoted to FEAR and Bet on Soldier and here I am every single night constantly playing COD 2. What I think the best part of COD 2 is, is the code is so good that I can crank the graphics to near top notch and play online with next to zero video lag. Kudo's to 'decent' developers.

Great game! I'd say best for the past year! Yeah, the repetitiveness is there, but I remember Halo1 copy/paste levels and realise that I didn't give a shit about it then and I don't now. It just doesn't annoy me, I don't notice it while playing, because the game mechanics are outstanding. Most addictive. I find it more interesting than COD2. Well, still tastes differ... maybe it's only my opinion.
FEAR somewhat reminds me of HL1, and if you'll change the story in FEAR I'd say it was more of a sequel to HL1 than HL2 was in terms of... I just can't describe it properly :) But the feeling is pretty distinct.
And hell the ending's impressive, the blow and the follow-up both! Still I agree with Imer on lack of freedom.
