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 an unknown force infiltrates the complex, and 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. F.E.A.R. was developed by Monolith, known for the clever, personable touch it instilled in action games such as No One Lives Forever and Tron 2.0. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“Made it to Interval 4. Maybe I was at a crappy part of the game, or was having a bad day, but I'm having a lot more fun with the game now.”

“Made it to the second part of Interval 3. This game is no where near as fun as it was when I first played it. If not for the slowmo, it wouldn't be that great of a FPS. Maybe it doesn't work well...”

And no, I don't remember having this problem, but I'm using winxp.”

“Hmm, it might not work well on 7 then, I don't remember the controls being slippery when I played on XP.

Maybe I need to mess with the options or something.”

“That's how I felt about FEAR when I first played it. I got pretty far into the game before it was "unreadable" and didn't really have the motivation to clean the disc.

However with proper motivation I know you can beat it :D
And that fat ginger guy looks A LOT like Fat Bastard

Sorry I can't give you any advice for the PC version, I played the 360 one. As for OS - I'm still loving Vista like a rich parent loves a neglected child”

“Figured I should play thru the first Fear and it's expansions again, before playing the second, since I've forgotten the story. Made it to Interval 2.”

“A good FPS game that included the ability to slow down time which was really cool, however it was also game breaking. The game was extremely easy because of it, even on Normal.”
