Don't F.E.A.R. the Reaper... F.E.AR. ALMA!!!

When Japanese horror and a creepy dead girl makes love with an awesome shooter... magic happens. This game while not outright scary, it is unnerving (especially towards the end.) The game centers around the point man of a special ops team know as F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault Recon.) His mission is find Paxton Fettel who is using cloned soilders free his mother Alma or something... I never did really understand (or cared about) the story. I just wanna BLOW S@#T UP. Man, the gunplay is a real treat, especially facing an uncanny AI that unlike most shooters, are actually formidable oppontents. While the enemy variety is somewhat lacking, the creepy atmosphere and surprise appearances by Alma keep you your toes. The weapons are another highlight of the game, and my favorite is the particle beam that disintegrates hapless tools into skeletons. If you're like me and you love a little horror with their shooter, then by all means get it. The game is a little outdated, but at least it's cheap. BARGAINS FTW!!!

IF YOU WANT THIS GAME READ THIS!!!!!!!!

This game is totally awesome. It had me literally sitting on the edge of my seat. It's like you never know where something might pop out nowhere or a ghost scene shows and that's what makes it suspensing. The enemy A.I is excellent and the combat of the game is awesome. Xbox live is also fun to play except when the enemy team surrounds their flag or if the enemy waits around the corner for you.( so adgittating!!) Overall, this game is a serious must buy!! 5 out of 5!!

F.E.A.R. - Xbox 360

What was tha...AAAHH!!!

The enemies are crazy smart. Alma scares me, as do all the visions and such. I love the weapons (why don't we actually have an assault rifle that can hold 45 rounds?). My only big gripe is the checkpoint system. It spoils when a firefight or spooky event is about to happen and can be strategically inconvenient, leaving you with X armor and health and ammo at the worst time. That said, I enjoyed it. Ghost girls like Alma give me the willies like mad. I'm happy I rented it.

    Porting PC shooters to home consoles is a tricky business. There's no replacement for the precision and finesse of a mouse-and-keyboard setup, for one. And most game consoles can't even come close to the visual brawn of a pimped-out PC.
