    Kick ass game

    By MattB  Sep 19, 2005 | 4 out of 4 found this F.E.A.R.: First Encounter Assault Recon review helpful

    Pros: Better graphics than Half-Life 2 and DOOM 3

    Cons: Nothing.... absolutely nothing

    This game is pure genious. It combines a dark scary atmosphere with fast paced action. The graphics and special effects are truly godsent. Exploding barrels provide shock-waves and fiery debris. At times it is necessary to wait for the smoke to clear... out of the room in order to make sure everything is "clear". And unlike some games, the pistol is actually a GOOD weapon. I prefer using the pistol over any of the assault rifles and smg's. The shotgun however is my all time favorite... you can shoot off limbs and heads, or just explode them in a red cloud of blood. Another favorite is the nailgun-like "penetrator". Grenades are a little underpowered though, causing minimal damage unless it's right on top of them. All around Great game though. Read more Less

    Pros: Graphics; Sound; Storyline; Atmosphere; Action

    Cons: Hogs too much memory; requires a top notch PC

    I loved every minute of it. The story is pure genius, and downright creepy. The graphics and special effects are out of this world gorgeous. The action is pulse-pounding and a glorious sight to behold. I especially liked the SlowMo. I played it on a... P4 3.0GHz, 2 GB of RAM and a highly overclocked and tweaked GeForce 6800 video card, and the game was set to 1024x768, 2XAA, 4XAF, SoftShadows OFF. Half the time it stayed at ~70FPS, and the other half it was 30FPS. Can't debate! It would also reboot my system at times out of nowhere, something that happens only with this game. While it does have its flaws, it's hardly enough to bring the visceral experience down a notch. I highly recommend this game. Read more Less

    F.E.A.R.-Vivendi Universal

    In the end, F.E.A.R. is a decent looking, great sounding, above-average first-person shooter with enough scary elements to elevate it to must-have status for any FPS fan and definitely-worth-checking-out status for casual fans of the genre. Read more
