Summary: Playing this at night can be quite an experience...
Comment: F.E.A.R. and its two sequels are fantastic games, even if they've gotten a bit dated as far as graphics are concerned. I've never been an eye-candy junkie and still enjoy playing older games as much as newer ones (and sometimes more!). This is a fantastic trilogy, maybe one of the best of the last decade. It's also a great way to spend your time as you await the release of F.E.A.R. II by brushing up just how frightening Alma can be... Playing the original game at night and alone can be very interesting.
The first F.E.A.R. game is easily the best of the three. The best 'horror' FPS I've ever played, it puts you in the shoes of the capable F.E.A.R. Point Man, complete with a wide variety of weapons that all just 'feel' right. Each weapon at your disposal is unique and has advantages/disadvantages that makes selecting the right weapon for the right situation critical to success, especially at the harder levels.
The 2nd installment, Extraction Point, is the weakest of the three. Taking up the plot line exactly where it left off (with disappointing results, given the cliff-hanger ending of F.E.A.R.) it is filled with levels that are all very similar in layout. Much of the game is spent wandering subway tunnels, and without the same sort of intense unease caused by not knowing who/what Alma is nor what she is capable of, it misses a beat on the intensity scale.
The 3rd installment, Perseus Mandate, is better than Extraction Point, with a much more intense combat element. Bigger guns, bigger enemies, and more carnage in general make this the most action intense of the three games. I enjoyed the new enemies and weapons, as well as uncovering more of the story. However, don't expect any huge surprises from Perseus Mandate; if you've been paying attention you'll see many of the 'reveals' from a long way off.
There are a few issues with these games, including the failure to include native wide screen support in Extraction Point. There is a work around to this that involves modifying a game file (google it), but it seems silly that they never patched the game to support it, especially considering that the original F.E.A.R. game did! Re-releasing games as good as this trilogy without a support for monitor sizes that are now the norm is shortsighted at best and just plain stupid at worst.
Another issue is compatibility with windows Vista. These games run just fine on Vista, but they do not auto-run from the CD, nor launch from the start menu. To get them each to play, I was forced to go into the game directory and find the actual .exe files associated with the game. This might be because I run Vista 64-bit, but that seems unlikely. I suggest just finding and downloading a NO CD hack as that *might* fix the problem, if you know what I mean.
All together well worth the money. If you played F.E.A.R. but not the sequels this is a must buy.

Summary: FEAR.
Comment: This wasn't very fun at all. The graphics and movement left a lot to be desired. Guess this is what I get for buying a game made in 2006.

Summary: fear duology
Comment: I called it that because the third one, an expansion pack - perseus mandate never ran no matter what I tried, so I have no idea what it is like. The first two are all right - the movement when you kill the head bob, is good. the weapons in it are good but the big launcher is too slow to reload. my fav was the auto turrets, what a great idea, you just toss in a few to a busy zone and wait, then clean up the rest of the bad guys. the endless "visions" and phony pysch over-voicing did get monotonous. I found the first ending ok but the fear extraction point ending was crap.
The game kills off all your pals, jin (your girlfriend) and finally you too. thumbs down on that score. hopefully the new one due will be better.
I'm going to let lots of others play and review it first before I buy.
Overall the game is a great fps - bit cheap on surroundings, nothing complex like doom, quake etc but the shootouts are what it is all about.

Summary: Good game, despite problems
Comment: FEAR gets a bad rap. It's a fun, sometimes spooky game with decent visuals and an entertaining Slow-mo feature. However, it suffers from repeated hallway syndrome, where you are trapped in infinitely repeating structural features. It becomes difficult to determine which direction you came from and where you need to go after the confusion of this game's intense firefights. This is, however, a slight inconvenience when compared to the overall level of polish this game offers. The expansions open up the experience a bit, but expect more of the same.

Summary: Worth the money
Comment: Great game. Graphics were great, play was great. Did not use much of the ghost aspect as expected, only a few scenes which were not necessary for the game? And they were repetitive and interrupted game play. But, working around the ghost aspect it was quite an exceptional game. I am on the second installment now, still just as exciting and still with the same flaw...
