F.E.A.R. Review - IGN
www.ign.comMonolith Productions developed a love it or leave it title for the launch of Xbox 360 last year by the name of Condemened: Criminal Origins. While some loved the eerie presentation, others couldn't get past the slow melee combat. At the same time, and using some of the same development tools and assets, Monolith was also putting together a game for the PC called F.E.A.R. This critically acclaimed game had all of the spooky atmosphere of Condemned with some phenomenal AI, intense action and excellent graphics and sound. A year later, F.E.A.R. has found its way to Xbox 360, maintaining the excellent atmosphere and fast paced combat giving console shooter fans the opportunity to experience one outstanding game.
I’ve finally played this game last year. It really is a masterpiece of a shooter, half horror game half super violent action shooter, I loved it. And I usually hate playing horror games.
It’s surprising to me how decent it looks for its age, Like Portal & Half-Life 2.
