F.E.A.R. for Windows

Pros: Graphics, sounds, visual FX, controls, cinematics, weapons, respectable enemy AI, DX8 for low end PCs
Cons: Story a little flat after some time, DX9 shader can be very demanding on hardware

Fear is one of the primal instincts, but beginning Fall 2005 it also stands for First Encounter Assault Recon (F.E.A.R.) which isn't too far from the first meaning either -- at least not for the player of this highly ...

Pros: Great graphics and sound, creepy at times
Cons: Linear levels

F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault Recon) is not only a great shooter game for the Windows PC, but it’s also quite scary. Since its release, this game has spawned two expansion packs and is still heavily played online. I highly recommend it. The ...

Pros: Great graphics, in-depth story, sound was terrific.
Cons: Short, story hard to follow at points, linear like most first person shooters.

First off I am a pretty big fan of first person shooters. I enjoy the generally fast paced action that is involved with the game. This game is a first person shooter in the sense that you play from the first person. The difference is this game has a ...

Pros: Great Settings, action and amazing A.I.
Cons: Some segments can be very tough.

Believe the hype, F.E.A.R. is the best game of the year hands down. It is enthralling mix of adventure, horror, and action not only makes it in a league with Half Life 2, it sets the bar high for future 3D shooters to aspire to. Players take on the ...

Pros: Intense suspense mood, errie horror techniques in game, smooth control, good graphic and sound
Cons: Lack of cinematic or animation clip. Character speech sometimes unclear or too low to hear.

Prelude – Digging out old fossil This is probably a late review of the game, since it has been out for more than a year ago and its expansion pack: Extraction point just came out. But after reading some online review of the game on major ...

Pros: Good, Strong Gameplay. Decent Story. Graphics. Manual Saving!
Cons: Story Is Lacking In Some Aspects

I've just recently finished playing through F.E.A.R. and unlike the other games that I've played through this year, I've found this one to have been worth the while. F.E.A.R. is a slightly different First Person Shooter than you are ...

Pros: Excellent graphics, killer AI, frenetic battles.
Cons: Reptitive environments, one-dimensional gameplay at times.

F.E.A.R. proves that the genre of first-person shooters is still vital, despite the abundance of mediocre titles that glut the market. In an age where superior graphics have become standard, it takes a great deal of intelligent design to make a shooter ...

Pros: High production values in looks and sound, incredible story and gameplay, well-paced story
Cons: Multiplayer is not as good as single player, requires a somewhat good PC

Wow! Thats all I have to say after playing F.E.A.R. When you get past the meaty install (running around 5GB) and load up F.E.A.R. you can tell the game is gonna be awesome because even the menu is impressive. Their clean and clear cut just like the ...

Pros: Excellent Enemy AI
Low System requirements
Great Visuals
Cons: Incessant battles
Uninteresting story
Unoriginal overall design

First Encounter Assault Recon or FEAR (for short) is a game that I’m afraid to say did not live up to they hype. With a superb presentation, there’s just something that comes up short. Visually, FEAR is a treat. It runs very well with mid-grade ...

Pros: Wonderful combat, awesome graphics, girl causes people to explode.
Cons: Clumsy and stilted and I want more ammo for my ASP.

'F.E.A.R.' is a very frustrating game from a structural standpoint. For every single step forward taken into progression in first person shooter design, it seems to take an equal number of steps back, resulting in an experience that, while fun, just ...

Pros: Great sound and graphics, cool weapons, a formidable AI and horror effects to behold!
Cons: High system specs, somewhat repetitive gameplay

FEAR is one of the few horror shooters I've played that offered a consistent story, and was able to scare the hell out of me even after playing for hours! The cinematic effects and settings for this game are really something to behold, a definitive must ...

Pros: Amazing spooky audio-visual experience and excellent fps.
Cons: Story is hardly unique, but still delivered exceptionally well.

I've finally had some free time lately, a break from my usual routine of work and school to the point of masochism. I've been trying to catch up on all the fun stuff I've missed out on. I haven't written a review in a while. Let it be enough that I'm ...

Pros: Scary, good visuals and sound, engaging story.
Cons: Sometimes the action stops, waiting for a particular action.

I've never been much of a computer game player. They seem too much like work, and after being on the computer all day I'm rarely looking for a reason to be on even more. Two games have managed to really hook me. The first one was the original Doom, lo ...

Pros: Spine tingling atmosphere, graphics, AI and less linear routes.
Cons: Low re-playability, no helper bots, poor storyline.

I really wanted to pick up Half-Life 2, but being one of the only people in the galaxy who didn't have an internet connection, I couldn't play it. So I decided on F.E.A.R. to satisfy my need to blast things. The basic premise of FEAR is that it ...

Pros: Good storyline, amazing graphics
Cons: Heavy hardware requirement to get the eye candy

I am a big fan of First Person Shooters (FPS) type games. I grew up with the original Doom and Quake. After reading some of the preview information on FEAR I knew I had to try it out. FEAR stands for First Encounter Assault Recon. Basically you are a ...
