John F. Hughes (Medina, Ohio)
I can't remeber any other game before the F.E.A.R. games how much fun and intense this game is. You give plenty of info of the game, beside i have done other searches to review much more about it. Good Job. F.E.A.R. Gold, F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate. Can't wait to play F.E.A.R. 2.

5 out of 5 stars Oldtechno says so.   February 26, 2009

Normally I don't write reviews on such things as computer games. Mostly, kids buy the games and are going to get it no matter what I say. This game is the exception.

The graphics are a little dated, but the story line, and smooth motion of the enemy characters helps make up for it. It is woefully over priced for a single program--but you get three--that helps a bunch.

Overall, the first person shooter type programs could all have been lumped into one story line and call it 'Snipper time', as far as I'm concern. In F.E.A.R., this is not the case at all. Let's just say when you first get the game running...'strange' things begin to happen. It is these strange things keeping the game from getting old.

Get ready for a lot of different shades of gray for color and contour.
You pump shotgun is still my primary weapon.
When the lights flicker...get ready for it.

Unlike a lot of modern programs--where the 'alpha' programer keeps building games where you have to get on the yellow brick road and follow it...if you don't, you never complete the game. In F.E.A.R, this is not the case. Apparently there are multible routes you can take--this way, when you complete the game, you can restart it and go a different path each time.

In other words, the replayabilitly of this game is pretty fine--that's important. Everytime I play the game (then look at the fifty dollar price tage) I don't feel as stupid for throwing my money away. Those other games, not letting you adventure around, are over priced greatly because of it. Maybe one day they'll learn their lesson.

My bottom line: Despite a few minor short comings (many shades of gray, not the highest end graphics--but okay,) I recommend this fps game.



4 out of 5 stars Playing this at night can be quite an experience...   January 5, 2009
Nathan Beauchamp (Oak Park, IL USA)
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.
