How NOT to port a game to the PS3
Well after playing the 360 version i thought this version would be more of the same.... sadly that's not the case.
Graphics: embarrassing, i mean honestly, are developers this uneducated on developing a game on the PS3? The graphics border on bland, bad( bad textures and the like) and great (the lighting, visual effects, like dust being kicked up by gunfire, gunshots lighting and the environment), but the visual package is just embarrassing. Plus when there's lots of action and chaos onscreen the frame rate goes crazy. 3.5
Sound : Oh... my God, it's a mixed bag here with more bad than good. The weapons and explosions are realistic and the sound is very well designed... when the game decides not to mirror the sounds ( you hear things in a certain direction when they're coming from the exact opposite) it's a HUGE bug and flaw to the game cause not only it disorients you, but takes a huge chunk out of the experience. 3.0
controls: at least the controls are precise enough to help mend the situation but odd placing of the trigger button ( in the R 2 trigger) creates some confusion.
Basically it's a botched port, BUT it still features the great action gameplay ( which requires strategies like taking cover and the like) and the great horror moments that will haunt you long after you finish the game, the story is great but you'll miss a lot of it, ( thanks to the REALLY low and hard to hear phone messages) there are some scares and events that i still remember, the end game is especially epic. The game's downfalls ( not related to the horrible porting job) is a really low number of different types of enemies, lack of different environments, sometimes going a while without either getting scared or fighting. The awesome part of this game is the battles which are fast and furious, the horrifying horror segments, the scary AI which is scary good, they'll flank you, hunt you down, coordinate attacks and etc. This game just oozes coolness. ( along with a LOT of blood) The slow mo move is awesome it slows down time ( which also slows down the sound... great stuff) resulting in epic takedowns, awesome stuff.
So if you do not have a choice between the 360 version, or better yet the PC version get this version, you'll have to pass through a lot of development horrors to the good parts of the game, honestly it's a pretty awesome game, it's worth playing, but if you have an option play the 360 or PC version, play those versions instead.
Fun Factor: 4.0

F.E.A.R.
Our pre-release impressions of the PlayStation 3 port of F.E.A.R. weren't exactly positive, as the alarmingly low-res graphics and uneven framerate left us with a bad taste in our mouths.
