When I bought this game I was sure that I would be able to play this on
all high graphics. Well it did.....kind of. When I went to check the
FPS I averaged 32 FPS. This was not good for me and I could tell that
it would chug in huge action sequences. So you can see the only
downfall I have with this game is that it is a resource hog and you
need a good computer for it. Now for the real review.
First thing you notice when you load the first level is that this game
has a very good storyline. The voice acting and cut scenes in this game
are phenomenal. You will notice high character res, and the voices are
done by the low people in Hollywood the way Half-life 2 actors are. So
obviously with the cut scenes and voice overs I have made my point.
Which these renditions add more to the immersive value of the game.
Graphics while a resource hog you will notice are great anyways. With
shadows on the enemy will see your shadow they will react and get to
cover and prepare for the fire fight. I digressed from the point of
this paragraph. This game seems to always take place at dusk or in the
middle of night, which adds to the immersion of this creepy game. When
something blows up and a fire erupts it looks like a fire erupts. Water
reflects the way it would if you were at a pool and light was bouncing
off of it. It is hard to describe graphics for a very exceptional game,
basically it is very good, and brick walls look like real brick. Guns
look very nice, not sure if sounds are authentic but that’s soon be
talked about. Basically graphics wise you will not be disappointed with
this game unless you have to run it on low graphics.
Sounds in the game are nice, in between fire fights there is creepy
music and whispering from the little girl and Fettle. More on them
later. You will hear your footsteps change with the change in ground
from concrete to water it all changes. The only things I wonder about
is are the gun sounds authentic. It makes me worry if they invented
those sounds or if they are real. Otherwise the guns have their nice
sounds which will vibrate off the walls. The sounds in this game if
turned all the way up and you have all your lights out and you are
alone in a room will send you for a shiver hear and there. Just
remembering creepy little girls and men possessed by those girls
whispering is always creepy.
For once I can talk about a storyline in a game. I won't give a way
much though. All you need to know is this game is Half-Life 2 meets The
Ring. You are a soldier with an unknown name working for FEAR.
Uprisings of super human clone soldiers have been taken under control
by Fettle. Alma is the little girl of Mr. Wade you will find more on
that later, if you play the game. Alma can rip through anyone just by
being near them so tread softly and quietly.
Multiplayer for this game isn't that impressive though. Sure it’s fast
paced, you can use slow mo. it has really cool maps. Still not worth
playing. Stick to your favorite multiplayer game for now.
This game holds lots of surprises from aspirations of Fettle and Alma
in the weirdest and creepiest places. To delusions and quick glances at
what’s to come before you see it. We finally have a game that can scare
people. If you love first person shooters, creepy actions and finally a
good story line pick this game up. A must have for Pc Gamers.
