F.E.A.R. Platinum

I love this game. The good gunplay mixed with the smart AI makes for some intense gunfights. The atmosphere is also great and theres some cool scares too. While the graphics may look basic I feel it's aged pretty well with the lighting still looking fantastic, and the overall image looking clean. Definitely recommend this for shooter fans! :)

Still the same as when I first played it on 10 FPS (although nowadays I have finally smooth run :) ). Enemies are still more intelligent than in your common AAA Titles, they often use covers and map layout more than players... shame this isn't seen more often.

Graphics : still hold on, still bleak and gory, still scary and thrilling Sound: WB has its hand on it so expect great quality sfx and voices, the music goes from static to orchestral score and overall excellent. Gameplay: a bit repetitive but the formula is so strong that it just works to keep you gripped till the end. Story: nothing fancy but solid so it becomes scary and thrilling. the screenplay is just top notch. Still one of the best FPS to date. 9/10

for $10 very good for fun

This game was 15 years old at the time I played it, and I would say that I haven't played a game in the past 10 years that has better gunfights than this game. Of course, there are aspects of it that are dated, and be aware that you might need to tweak a few things to get this game running well. While the graphics are obviously dated, the amazing lighting really helps the overall appearance of the game. The sound design is solid as well. The voice acting is so-so, but everything else sounds great, particularly the guns (with the exception of the assault rifle). The actual gunplay is top-notch. Guns are visceral, loud, and have a wonderful and terrible effect on the enemies you fight. The enemies feel smart - they will actively and effectively try to flank you, and make tactical maneuvers that I had never seen in shooters before (e.g., knocking things over for cover, crawling under things to surpise you, somersaulting over objects to get into cover, etc.). You have a time-slowing mechanic, which is implemented really well. I think my favorite part of the gunplay is the aftermath, however. The environments reflect the intensity of the gun fight you just engaged in. There might be papers and dust in the air from where bullets hit a desk or drywall, objects will be askew from that grenade you threw, and blood splatters the wall from when you let loose your smg on the clone trooper that was trying to flank you. It's a beautiful thing - Exceedingly well done. It's not all good, however. The game does get slightly repetitive. You will fight the same enemies in similar environments the entire game. The story is interesting enough, but it's told in a disparate way that makes it unecessarily hard to peice to together. Finally, the horror elements are there, but it's not a scary game. Regardless of flaws and age, this game is absolutely worth your time. Sure, you'll be fighting clone troopers in office environments the entire game, but you'll love doing it.
