DESCRIPTION

F.E.A.R. — or "First Encounter Assault and Recon" — is a first-person shooter set in a secretive complex full of government intrigue. Players take the role of a member of an elite squad of soldiers that's called in when conventional troops have failed. One such situation occurs when a crazed battlefield commander named Paxton Fettel escapes from a military instillation with a unit of troops. The first strike Special Forces team sent to quell the invasion was decimated minutes after arriving on the scene. Now it is up the F.E.A.R. squad to isolate the invaders and eliminate them, before anyone else gets hurt (or any multibillion-dollar government equipment is lost).

The game's realistic, near-future setting and storyline feature elements of horror, supernatural vision, and even philosophical insight. The lead character is not given a name, in order to encourage the player to more fully assume the role, but well-developed teammate characters are designed to bring a personal context to the adventure. Enemy artificial intelligence is designed to produce believable human characters, as well, who work together as a deadly efficient, reactive team.

In addition to the single-player game, popular multiplayer modes — such as Deathmatch, Elimination, and Capture the Flag — are available. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“Reminds me of Half-Life 2 but without the cool sound effects and a plot. The Achievements are wicked hard to get too. Unless you are absolutely mortified by ghosts, chances are this game will not scare you. Alma gets pretty scary near the end of...”

“FEAR! First time heard on PC (Time back, when my new gaming-machine was to slow to play this nice game-demo). Now its back! ON XBOX! I like it even more, the controller is really hard to learn, but there's always something :)”

“The best way to describe the story is to just say it sucked. It sucked. The multiplayer is great, probably because nobody likes the game enough to care whether they win or lose a deathmatch.”

“This game could easily have had a five out if five from me, but honestly it lacked when it came to the creepy factor it had promised to deliver. The first few Alma moments were great, but the repetition brought it downhill quickly.”
