Good old F.E.A.R. How does this legendary shooter stack up these days? Is it still a winner, or has it been left in the dust? It's a winner, for sure. The gameplay is just as stunning as it was back then: the slo-mo, the A.I., the bicycle kicks, and the shotgun! Dear God, this might be the best shotgun in gaming history! The A.I. isn't quite as sophisticated as people hype it up to be -- once you understand the tricks, you can see that it's a very, very clever smoke and mirrors show -- but I keep coming back to this game regardless. The graphics have aged less well, but they're still serviceable. The lighting is the clear winner. It enhances the otherwise bland models and dated textures. It's incredible how much work the lighting does. Play the outdoor segments of Perseus Mandate and be horrified at the outdoor daylight segments. Other than that, the particle effects can get a little extreme, even interfering with gameplay at times. The two things that haven't aged so well is the horror and the writing. I've played through this game half a dozen times and I can't remember anyone's name in your squad. To call it forgettable is an understatement. The expansions muddy the waters considerably for no reason. The horror, by today's standards, is primitive. They're all jumpscares: and not even very good ones. This was at a time when there were no "walking simulators" -- to have a game without killer gameplay was a travesty. The only other model I could think to emulate was Blood, and F.E.A.R. is MUCH scarier than Blood ever was. Lastly, the game comes with two expansions. Neither are very good; the second one is actually bad. "How do we improve this spooky corridor shooter?" "I know! We'll take out all the horror and make you fight in large, outdoor areas!" It doesn't help that the guns have crazy spread after a certain range. These two entries can be skipped without a second thought, but they're there if you need more classic F.E.A.R.

First, these games hold up. The gunplay, the AI, atmosphere, all excellent. These games deserve a modern remake. The base game plays with no problems whatsoever. You can edit a text file (easily found on google) to enable higher resolutions. BOTH expansions played to a certain point and then crashed during a level transition. It happened much earlier on Extraction Point than it did for Perseus Mandate. I tried some workarounds I found online but none worked for me. It's a real shame, because Perseus Mandate is EXCELLENT. Even without getting to play through all of the expansion content, this is a great game.

F.E.A.R. starts off with a spooky ambience but overall did not capitalize on the horror theme. It plays more of a sideshow to the FPS action. The ambience of the industrial skyscraper innards you crawl through wears out and the scenery does not vary much after that. The gun battles can be fun, with the enemy fighters will flee from grenades and attempt to flank you, but its never very difficult.
