F.e.a.r

[SuperSabin]

Has anyone played this FPS before? I played the free multiplayer version and it rocked! It was laggy when I first played it on my laptop but when I adjusted my laptop's setting to run by best performance, the whole game ran smoothly. I would like to play someone on the game sometime. My username on there is Kain if you want to play me.

But anyway I really like the gameplay mechanics in this game. Its really creative and it somehow gives FPS a new meaning. The levels are pretty detailed and the weapons are pretty deadly as well.

I also enjoyed the hell out of F.E.A.R., though I only have the 360 version (which I know is far inferior to the PC version). Good luck finding players for any version, though. Last time I hopped on Live I think I found like 4 people to play with after almost a half hour of attempts.

Anyway, the only gripes I really had with the game were the severe lack of character development on the hero side (Point Man = faceless, speechless protagonist) and the level design. More office buildings than you can shake a stick at. Even though it was repetitive, I still got a good couple of scares which is what I came for in the first place.

I'm not big fan of FPS games but I really enjoyed playing F.E.A.R. and personally I find it to be one of the best FPS games I've played so far. I liked also the expansion pack Extraction Point although it was too short for my taste. I have heard that F.E.A.R. 2 was not nearly good as the first one but nevertheless it's a great game and I really regret that I can't play it, damn my computer is too weak.

F.E.A.R. has an interesting story which is rare for FPS games and I really liked bullet time, which was quite useful for saving your ass.The best thing about this game was that creepy atmosphere and background music, I was really scared in few occasions.
I played multiplayer version few times but at my friends house and to be honest it's really good although few stages look really repetitive.
