F.E.A.R. of Darkness
2 November 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Horror has been synonymous with First Person Shooters for a long time. These horror-themed fps games have been known to scare us but none scared us worse than F.E.A.R. from Sierra Entertainment and Monolith Productions.

Plot: You are a new member of F.E.A.R. as their point man. F.E.A.R. is sent to investigate a series of deaths committed by a psi-terrorist named Paxton Fettel while at the same time, you see a mysterious little girl stalking you. During your mission, you experience flashbacks of your life and horrific hallucinations. You must rely on your godly reflexes and powerful weapons to stop Paxton and solve the mystery of your origin. 5/5

Graphics: What can I say about the graphics? Monolith has done an awesome job on the graphics of F.E.A.R. Very much like Monolith's other game, Condemned: Criminal Origins, F.E.A.R. makes good use of poor lighting, so use your flashlight in darkened rooms. 5/5

Sound: F.E.A.R. also makes good use of its atmospheric music and sounds. Sounds of humans screaming and hearing voices will send chills down your spine. 5/5

Gameplay: The game play features Matrix-style combat. In slow motion, you'll gain an advantage over your foes and watch them die in slow motion. Something never done before in a first person shooter. You'll go through parts of the game where you experience hallucinations and hear voices. It's no wonder F.E.A.R. won so many awards. 5/5

F.E.A.R. truly is a gem among first person shooters. It sucks that Sierra Entertainment and Monolith Productions won't be working on any more games together but at least they own 80/20 on the game.

Final Review: 5/5
