/blog/2007/02/fear-review/ We're not PlayStation but we sometimes get to speak to them Mon, 19 Mar 2018 10:49:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 /blog/2007/02/fear-review/comment-page-1/#comment-5555 Grognard Mon, 19 Feb 2007 01:44:47 +0000 /blog/?p=286#comment-5555 FEAR was one of the best looking 360 games - NOT! This site would have more credibility if it avoided the amateurish fanboy sentiments. Is that comment supposed to alleviate the fact that the PS3 is getting yet another 360 port from last year (and a 2 year old PC title)? If you look at objective gaming site reviews (gamespot, etc.) you'll see that the 360 version was actually taken to task for not living up to the standards of other 360 titles graphically.

Even a perfect translation wouldn't be much of an improvement. The problem was not in the game play but in the levels and the sheer repetitiveness of it. The entire game appears to take place in one corridor, warehouse or boiler room after another. It's just one drab battle after another, over and over and over again. And the game is so linear you may as well play it on an invisible rail. I thought Doom 3 was boring, but FEAR gives it a run for its money. FEAR was a dull game on the PC.

I enjoyed it but graphics wise it isn't a patch on Gears of War. Mind you, Gears makes *everything* else look like it's running on a SNES. “F.E.A.R was always one of the best-looking games on the Xbox 360″ - erm no it’s not.

If you're looking for fun FEAR has it in buckets, big slow-motion physics reacting, blood smattered buckets...
