Yet another review: FEAR (2005)

after receiving some nice words from Tareq-san regarding my review of NFS Undercover (though i was expecting more comments from other members), i was pumped up to review another game. this time i decided to review a some what old game, the game is FEAR (2005).

this game is published by Werner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and developed by Monolith and Sierra Entertainment.

although the game is considered old, it produces a very nice visual experience utlizing the Monolith Engine. the environment is nicely rendered and visual effects are top notch. the story is very strate forward; what makes it unique is its story line and continuous pace. the story line is some what new and unconventional that delivery fast playing, heart pounding experience.

and the beauty of this game is that its rated M (i think). there is alot of usage of bad language, explict scenes, blood & gore; and my opinion this contributed for a well built game. (nothing of "its not suitable for children" Crapp).

the Uplefts:
1- Very intense, unique, and strate forward story.
2- Good Visual Effects.
3- Nice veriaty of wepons.
4- the introduction of SlowMo (slowing time to take out the enemies).
5- The Usage of Blood, Vilonce, Gore, and Bad Language insure the delivery of a well-built game (nothing of this "not suitable for children" crapp).
6- controls are precise and simple.

The Downers:
1- Some minor details in the story were left unanswered.
2- the repeation of the same environment through out the game (Dark and Gloomy) gives a small feeling of boredom.
3- the environemt could have been detailed better.
4- some charcters feel like they were drawn in the 90s.
5- the game (is) short.
6- the game's ending wasn't that fullfilling.

in a knut shell, this game is filled with action and suspenss, and introduces a new idea to the gener (though this idea was implimented better in Time Shift), and i recommend going back and playing the game either on your XBOX360 or PC.
