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.
