FEAR review

Fear Review by finch150

Quote:
F.E.A.R

Story: Intresting, fast-paced and exciting. However some times the story can get too complicated or you didnt here your orders because you were in a firefight. It does get quite disturbing after a while especially near the end, waiting for something to jump out at you round the next corner, always has you on the edge of your seat!
Graphics: Its is hard to make grey corridors look amazing but the slo-mo does look pretty good. Charecter models are detailed enough but lack texture. Cut-scenes very between beautiful and last-gen, when their good their great, when their bad there awful.
Sound: There are of course eerie sound effects, which are great and well suited but the music doesnt really stand out in any way, bland and unexciting. Gun sounds are good but sometimes annoying, voice acting is understandably hard to make sound good, but in F.E.A.R its quite good.
Multiplayer: Its hard to pinpoint my exact dislike for F.E.A.R's multiplayer, it might be that because only 2 gameplay modes offer only ONE person slo-mo abilitys, it feels alien from the single player. Where as in single player the player has to rely on slo-mo to survive, "Normal-mo" gunplay is mostly used in multiplayer.



Overall: F.E.A.R's single player excels most over First person shooters on the 'box but loses all of its charm in multiplayer where you begin to feel as if youve only brought half a game. Great but flawed

7/10
