I just got this game and it's just as good or even better than I thought it would be. It's realy scary, not just the creep factor but when your adrenaline gets pumping in the awesome fire fights then something jumps out at you or you're transported into a hallway with blood up to your waist and a creepy little girl beckoning to you to follow her. That's what makes it scary, the sudden change in the enviroment from action packed to a creepy setting.
Some of the weapons are pretty cool. There's this gun that shoots high powered spikes that can pin your enemies to the wall (or ceiling, if you can shoot it at the right angle), but the down fall is that there is only a limited suppy of ammo for it. It's like something Blade would use and I wouldn't be surprised if that's where they got inspiration for it. The best weapon I think is the shotgun. It's so powerful that it can split your enemies right in two or (if your close enough) it can vaporize them into a bloody mist with meat and bone fragments flying in every direction. The explosions are well done also. When a grenade goes off, you can see it bend the air around it or something. The slow moition is pretty well done, it's far from being an original idea and has been done time & time again but F.E.A.R. seems to have perfected it. The graphics are great and are truly next-gen. I could only see a few flaws in them, and the decals for the bullet holes seem like chunks have realy been taken out of the wall. The story seems very good too, even though I'm still just in the begining stages.
Overall I think this game is the best sci-fi/horror FPS out there to date and I like it better than Gears of War. The gameplay is simply amazing and although I'm only a short way through it, it is one of the best games I've ever played. If you have a high end PC, a 360 or a Ps3, I highly recomend this game if you like games in the same genre. No matter what the price is, it's worth every penny. I rarely do this before I finish the game but I'm going to rate it now. 9.5/10 (but expect my rating to change after I beat the game)
