The Good: EVERYTHING
The Bad: OPPOSITE OF EVERYTHING
F.E.A.R is by far one of the greatest shooters made in recent years. If this game doesn't set the standard for future shooters then I don't know what will. F.E.A.R (First Encounter Assault Recon) is much too laboring to type with it being an acronym and all, so from now on the game will be referred to as "this/the game, or just FEAR." The game revolves around an elite army team called FEAR, and they are tasked with the investigation of an unseen force possessing paranormal abilities. In an attempt to contain a situation that is quickly spiraling out of control you eventually discover the real story for yourself. The game seamlessly blends very intense combat and an equally intense horror-survival experience. Keeping you on the edge of your seat for the entire time. There is no way that you won't get scared playing this.
Graphics: From the bullets hitting the wall to the reflections in the water, FEAR, delivers on all fronts with a dark and haunting environment from start to finish. The highly rich environments in the game are truly a sight to see if your PC can run it at the higher settings; you'd be out of luck if you’re not able to. Incredible attention to detail on all of the character models from the clones to the ghosts that show themselves from time to time. However even with a powerful computer you will still experience some slow down in frame rate when there’s a lot of action onscreen.
Sound: Sound in FEAR gets a 5/5, 100%...etc. Impeccable sounds effects, ranging from the mysterious whispers that you will hear from time to time, to the sounds of bullets hitting the wall behind you as your foe shouts out directions to their squad. The eerie quite will sometimes have you look over your shoulder to see if anyone is there (if you have surround sound) I know I did.

(This review was originally posted on GameSpot.com under the name stevenscott14. It appears here ever-so-slightly edited in order for it to not look like an absolutely unforgivable wall of text) The most creepy thing about my experience with F.E.A.R. wasn't even the silence, the atmosphere, or the spooky little girl ...

Easily the most disappointing game I've played

The long of it: Long reviews are for good games. The short of it: F.E.A.R. promised to be a fast-paced, visually stunning FPS with creepy gameplay and advanced AI. The AI IS impressive. But putting good AI in this game is like adding sugar to standing water. With the ...

F.E.A.R.

F.E.A.R. is the second franchise-creating first-person shooter developed by Monolith that took me longer to complete than it should have due to technical issues. Just like it was years before I finished No One Lives Forever, FEAR came out late in 2005 but I just beat it recently, after encountering ...
