F.E.A.R.

Post by Decessus »

Monolith, the company that has brought you such games as Tron 2.0, Aliens vs. Predator 2, and Condemned: Criminal Minds brings you F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault Recon). The game seemlessly blends elements of an action movie and supernaturalism into one game. The game plays out more like a movie than a video game and you can easly get lost in it (probably scare the crap out of yourself too). While the "scary" elements are not that of what you can see (like Resident Evil or Clive Barkers Undying) but rather uses what you can't see to truely creep you out. I personally give this game a 9.8/10.

Pros: Insanely incredible graphics, and more of a "movie-goers script".
Definitly has an almost infinite replay value.

Cons: While the graphics are great, this demands a pretty good computer, even on minimum some computers are unable to handle it.
Updates and game sizes are rather large (4.83GB HDD Space and over 600mb for the initial game update)

I highly recomend this one who likes FPS's or things that are just plain creepy. It only cost me $50 for the special director's cut DVD, so the cost isn't insane. Now here are some in-game shots.

amazing this game is just barley getting popular. me and my cousin beat this game together last summer on his computer. some of the pros you didnt mention were the insane A.I. computers. The A.I. in this game blew me away. The soldiers actually use real tactics when they should such as flanking and so on. i love this game <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... /happy.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'^_^\' />

yes, the AI is completely amazing. It is a "non-scripted" AI, meaning this: it doesnt have one or two things it can do, it has thousands of different things it can do depending on YOUR actions/movements.
