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.

Great Shooter with Solid Story

I think this game is a great shooter and the AI in the game is very good, it almost feels like your playing online they hide behind walls, run away if your shooting at them. They go around yu and attack from behind. It has intense gun fights, the only down fall is the audio from when you get voice messages and when you get information from the laptops. Other than that it is a great game with a story that is entertaining and it also has some genuine scary moments. All in all it's a fun and sometimes scray game. It's worth owning.
It aint as good as the PC version

The Graphics are lousy, and the game play is poor. This just shows you what happens when you take a non ps3 exclusive, and put it on ps3's game mode, overall its just unexceptable. Dosent compare to PC version.

FEAR sounds like it should be a great game, after what we saw on the PC and Xbox 360 but for the PS3 the game lags real gameplay. I mean from the moment you start the game to the end its pretty much the same thing over and over again, you walk into a firefight, kick some ass and then more on to the next firefight. The game does glitch a lot, for a PS3 game it lags real depth. I mean the graphics do look good but the audio is terrible no subtitles option at all and for the most part I believe if the developers spent less time worry about the Dell XPS being featured everywhere in the game maybe they could have made a great game for the PS3. The loading Screens take forever; in fact you could get up and get a drink, a bag of chips, and still have time to all most eat it too. I mean for a PS3 game you would come to believe a game would have more substance than this, but after only 8 hours on the hard setting I bet the game. I guess the nice thing is that you dont have to worry about collecting anything just click-click, bang-bang and you are done with a level. My final score was 5.5 out of 10 no replay value at all, and outside of the extra one mission you dont feel like you are getting anything at all but a rip off of a game. Nice part is the dark story line but for the most part it does not overcome the rest of the crap.
