About

Following the plot of the game, you play as a Point Man, who works for F. E. A. R. - a fictional special forces unit, which is forced to resist the rebel squad of cloned supersoldiers. He also faces a supernatural threat - Alma, a ghostly creature in the form of a little girl. The game consists of 11 episodes with an epilogue. As for the plot, it is completely confused until the end.

One of the primary abilities of the player is to slow down time. Being in this state for not so long, you can see the traces of flying bullets, move faster and get an advantage in battle.

The whole game comes from the first person, and the camera never shows the player from the side. Also, the game is often criticised for the fact that the primary action levels take place inside the buildings, not in the open area. But the player can attack the enemy from anywhere, hiding behind a wall, or create a shelter for additional protection.

    F.E.A.R. reviews and comments

    I recently replayed this and played 2. They are both good, but this one made me feel so cool when I did well. The levels are all designed to be challenging and to make you feel like a god when you win. The horror isn't very strong, but has some moments of decent atmosphere.
    Дуже цікава (сюжет так собі ) гемплей БОМБА! 9/10.
    «Time-tested»
    Some good tension and horror scenes separated by unremarkable modern military shooting and a kinda shoehorned-but-necessary bullettime mechanic. The bones of a good game are here but it's such a product of its time in some unfortunate ways.
    8/10
    «Blew my mind»
    «Sit back and relax»
    Gameplay 10/10. Graphics 10/10. Soundtrack 8/10. Storyline 8/10. OVERALL 9.0/10.0 (A 9.0)
