Overall: I didnt expect this FPS to compete with others. At first glance this game seemed....out of place and boring. But when i found out it was a secret orginazation and you are a new hotshot recruit it sounded pretty intruiging. The ability to slow time was really cool. multi-player was also pretty cool. Gameplay: The campaign was long, challenging, and action packed. There are a lot of scary parts in the game where people just jump out at you and it always kept my heart beating. Multiplayer was very cool and there wasnt that much lagg with the weapons and grenades. The psychotic murderer who you are hunting also adds a little more exitment to the game. Graphics: Graphics are a little dull considering its a 360 game. The game gave me a headache after a while of playing because im not use to that type of graphics. kinda hard for me to explain but it just gave me a headache. Multiplayer went into extreme detail when it came to character models. Sound: sounds of the guns and grenades sound so real at times but then again they also sound fake in away cause they never change. Its just the same sound over and over again. Grenads also give same type of sound nomatter what distance from them you are. Suggestions: try to sharpen up the visuals then i will play this game a lot more. More weapons would also be a plus.
Overall: First-Person Shooter that puts you in the middle of a top secret operation gone terribly wrong. Your job is to locate top-level personal and eliminate the threat. Gameplay: FEAR plays like any top rated FPS. The graphics are smooth and the controls are easy to learn. Weapon selection is very good and the ability to slow down time in order to take out the waves of oncoming soldiers is a big bonus. I've been waiting for this game to make it's 360 debut ever since I saw it for PC.
The campaign is great and the atmosphere is dark and creepy. (Creepy little girls, of "THE RING" variety, always make things extra chilling).
I haven't played much online multiplayer, but from what I have I can say it looks as good as offline. Another cool aspect they through in is that your gamertag is written on the back of your characters uniform when you play online. That is so cool! Graphics: The game is beautiful to play. There are the occasional hiccups in frame rate but not that bad. The flashback sequences are pretty scary and more often then not you'll be asking yourself "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" Sound: The sound in FEAR is top-notch. Best played in 5.1, in the dark for sure. Voice over are awesome and the weapon and explosion sound effects are dead-on. Suggestions: This game is an excellent experience. Not so hard as to frustrate players but also not so easy as to make you feel you wasted your cash. The presentation is top-notch Hollywood style with you in the leading role. My only suggestion to the dev team is to add online co-op of the campaign. That would rock! Always great playing through a great story with a friend on LIVE.
