Customer Reviews

Good, but still behind HL2
Overall fun game. I am about half way through and enjoy the gameplay and story so far. Graphics are good, but I still think that HL2 graphics are slightly better. Also, a map feature would be good for those times when I save and then come back a week later. Map or a way to block the way I just came would allow me to start up going in the right direction instead of backtracking for 15 minutes.

Best fps horror
F.E.A.R. is one the best horror games I have played,
It's like Silent hill in First person view.
There was one great part where you jump into this pool of water and instantly go into a diffrent realm, It was awsome.
The Graphics are awsome too. The levels are well detailed,
Now about levels being repetitive, I actually had to replay fear just to see what everyone was talking about.
Now that I whent over It again, I can say that they are repetitive,
I did'nt notice that before, Probably because I was too busy kicking a** lol.
About the language: I did'nt see anything wrong with the language after all If you were getting shot at what would you say?
About the violence: Does FPS mean anything to ya'll. I did'nt see anymore violence in this game than I did in Metal Gear Solid or The Punisher.
The story: This game is like one of those movies that you actually have to follow through and payattention too. But If the story does'nt keep you playing the action will.
About Replayability: you'll probably play this game about once or twice, Because going around the second time does'nt offer anything. No story changes. No unlockables. Nothing new.
But the greatest thing about the ai is that there unpredictable. (Meaning they don't strike the same spot)
I was shooting one guy while the other guy sneeked around the corner behind me.
Enemies being repetitive, I think not.
The only thing I hated about F.E.A.R. is the 5cds they should have put
It on dvd, or did they? If they did I could'nt find It so I'm stuck with 5cds

Now about the specs. I have a upgraded gateway gt5040 Pc
Video/Graphics card: SAPPHIRE 100176L Radeon X1950PRO (one not two),
and 3 gigs of ram
That's all I've upgraded soo far.
I can run fear at max flawlessly.
and thats without using crossfire (two video cards).
Looking at everybodys specs, there computers seemed to be more powerfull
than mine. But yet can't run at max settings. Maybe It's Geforce lol, or probably ram.

About the cd being needed in the drive to play. Get a nocd crack at gamecopyworld.com or Alcohol 120% at alcohol-software.com

Overall: A great game to play once or twice, But some may find it too violent or too much bad language. Just download the demo befor you buy it.

WOW What detail!!
Playing this game with a 8800gts video card and a 22 inch screen is just about as fun as you can get
