1 out of 5 stars Is this a joke?   May 1, 2007
R. Phillips (San Francisco)

Seriously? I played this game briefly and I thought that somebody was playing a sick and disgusting joke on me. How did this game ever make it on to the store shelves looking the way it does? I was extremely dissapointed when I finally got my hands on what was suppossed to be a great game. Instead I got game that looks like a "DECENT PS2 Game". I figured that Sierra would at least make the graphics look the same as the PC version, if not better. The controller setup is ridiculous as well. The default and ONLY setting for the trigger is R2. There are about 5 different "Custom" Settings for controls and none of them allow you to change the trigger button which is pathetic.

In story mode, all of the F.E.A.R. elements are still there. Is that enough to make me want to spend $60 dollars? No. I was so upset with this port that a friend and I wrote letters to Sierra and Sony to complain. I hope that this review has been helpful. If you have played both the PC and the PS3 version you will probably feel the same way.

This game was a step back for the Next-Gen Gaming era.



2 out of 5 stars PS3 FEAR   May 30, 2007

First, I have never played this game on the PC, so I wont be able to compare it to that. Also, I don't own an XBOX 360 and I am not here to compare the merits or shortfalls or either platform. The only other game I can compare it to is Resistacne: Fall of Man. Compared to Resistance this game falls way short of what I wanted. The graphics are WAY SUB PAR for the PS3 and almost embarrasing when compared to Resistance. The levels are confusing and the enemies are predictable. I was really excited to get this game and have been horribly dissapointed. If the graphics were up to snuff I could tolerate it, but I felt like I was playing a PS2 game. Unless you loved the PC version, save your money.

This is the first time I've played F.E.A.R. on any platform and like the game as a stand-alone game. The online play is not nearly as fun as games like Halo, RFOM, or Gears of War. Graphics were average.


3 out of 5 stars Ok to rent, NOT ok to buy.   May 28, 2007

Since I rented F.E.A.R. and it was due in 5 days, I played in easy difficulty to make sure I finished the game in time. The graphics are OK, but are by no means an indication of what PS3 is capable of. The only cool effect was the SloMo graphics which did a great job disguising the aliasing problems. I would rate the graphics equivilent to what was available on PC 6 years ago.

I have not seen any comments on this, however I frequently expirienced extremely loud clicking noises no matter what volume setting I used. The noises did not seem unintentional, but they did not seem to serve much purpose in the game other than to annoy me. Also no matter how I adjusted the sound the incoming inercom and phone messages were so quiet I couldn't make out anything they said. Because of that I didn't get the whole story of the little girl and the dude and why they're doing all this.

Sometimes the sound track and the flying robots gave me a Star Wars feel, which killed the mood and style of the game.

There were some times where I'd get stuck on a section or level, and I couldn't move on for an hour or so. I did nothing but search for what turns out to be some pobscure vent I should have jumped down.

Maybe if I can go through the game with some cheats I might be able to get whats going on a little better, but it seems there are none. The end seemed to come on very suddenly, overall it did not seem to offer as much gameplay as other games I like such as Splinter Cell.



2 out of 5 stars A big let down...   May 4, 2007

I played this game for pc when it fist came out and I was amazed by it. The game had crisp lines, great AI, and fast loading times. I was so stoked when I heard it was coming out for the PS3, and boy was I disappointed. The graphics of this game are no where near up to scratch with a next gen $600 dollar gaming system. And the load times were absolutely appalling, taking up to a minute and a half to load. Lots of times I thought the game had frozen. The monotony of the levels was a annoyance that was carried over from the original game. On a lighter note, I really think it would suck to work for Armacham Technologies. I mean, wouldn't you get lost all the freaking time?? I guess a saving feature is the advanced AI is still there, but otherwise, F.E.A.R. for PS3 was a big let down.
