F.E.A.R. Critic Reviews
A must-own, a must-play, a must-have or whatever generic must-“word” or must-“phrase” that you’ll find plastered on a game box. From start to finish, this is a tight experience that will challenge and entertain you unlike any other FPS of 2005....read the complete F.E.A.R. review at Thunderbolt
With an 8-9 hour single player campaign and its hefty multiplayer portion, F.E.A.R. is an absolute must have for any First Person Shooter fan out there that takes pleasure in having the holy hell scared out of them, all while playing an intriguing game...read the complete F.E.A.R. review at GameShark
F.E.A.R. is just polished, period. If you have the system to handle the game, it is a must have for all gamers....read the complete F.E.A.R. review at Gamenikki

One of those titles that comes along only once every few years, a game that just seems to get everything right- the game’s overall experience exceeds the sum of its considerably impressive parts. This reviewer cannot remember the last time that he was...read the complete F.E.A.R. review at My Gamer
Terribly immersive... If you've got a system good enough to run this, do not miss out: F.E.A.R. is one of the most strikingly fun and exciting games to be released all year, and easily the best FPS since "Half-Life...read the complete F.E.A.R. review at Worth Playing
F.E.A.R. might well be the year’s best single-player PC experience, but it won’t win any awards for its multiplayer. Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag are the only game types, and there aren’t many maps....read the complete F.E.A.R. review at Game Revolution
is certainly complementary to the general feeling of the battle scenes. The game’s central narrative is a little disappointing, and in no way as good as had been promised; it’s delivered, as it is, via predictable plot routes like in-game mo...read the complete F.E.A.R. review at Gamer's Hell
Fantastic horror game with great action and everything else that that might imply, you can use your flashlight AND your gun, and the game will STILL scare you!...read the complete F.E.A.R. review at ActionTrip
The Ring landed with a bang (although Sixth Sense did presage this movement by a couple years). The theme here is creeping out the viewer with unsettling, ambiguous imagery and paranormal phenomena. Recent entries such as The Grudge have shown that there...read the complete F.E.A.R. review at IGN
F.E.A.R. (fir) noun. 1a. An emotion of alarm and agitation caused by the expectation or realization of danger. 1b. An instance of such feeling is usually accompanied by a desire to flee or fight. Monolith is ready to redefine the first-person shooter...read the complete F.E.A.R. review at GameZone
F.E.A.R. is easily one of the creepiest and most atmospheric shooters ever made. You'll also battle some amazingly smart opponents....read the complete F.E.A.R. review at GameSpot
A top quality shooter. It is visually impressive, has some of the best AI this side of the Rio Grande, and does a damned good job on weapon management. Still, the steep system requirements will put a hamper on the regular public’s enjoyment and hold...read the complete F.E.A.R. review at Netjak
A combination of the impossible, a game that will in one moment make you sweat with the intensity of the elaborate set-piece firefights and make you shiver in nervous fear the next....read the complete F.E.A.R. review at eToychest
quickly, without much to distinguish them in either objectives or surroundings. A few more enemy types wouldn't have gone amiss, either -- and at around 10 hours, it's not spectacularly lengthy. Nevertheless, F.E.A.R. is the game that Doom 3 should have...read the complete F.E.A.R. review at Yahoo! Games
What is already in F.E.A.R. could not have been done any better, although unfortunately the game's tempo and difficulty stays relatively constant regardless of progress through the game, and seems to be missing another level as the game kicks on into its...read the complete F.E.A.R. review at Xequted
You might actually think, "hey, this isn't new at all! We've all seen a scary first person shooter and realistic rag-doll effects in a game before!" and you would be correct, except that the team at Monolith did themselves proud by doing it RIGHT!...read the complete F.E.A.R. review at AceGamez
care who these people were nor did I understand their motives. And while the girl in the red dress was intriguing and creepy, she felt so disconnected from the rest of the game that I developed the theory that the designers had simply created a standard a...read the complete F.E.A.R. review at The New York Times
with Angelina by the way), I am in love with a game. And despite the fact that I've been walking past the same level furniture for hours and hours, and despite Norton 'twat' Mapes - nothing will stop me recommending it to friends, family, passers-by in th...read the complete F.E.A.R. review at Computer and Video Games
F.E.A.R. has by far the best tactical combat I have ever experienced, and has super-high production values throughout. The sense of dread never lets up throughout the game....read the complete F.E.A.R. review at Adrenaline Vault

Remember to check out if your machine matches the minimum specs or else you’ll get disappointed. We actually recommend that you are closer to the recommended specs if you want it to run properly....read the complete F.E.A.R. review at Boomtown
It brings to your mouse and keyboard the most adrenalin and expletive producing firefights of any shooter made to date, and not just by a little bit. How good? Good enough that facing a mountain of hype-fueled expectations F.E.A.R. will blow you away and...read the complete F.E.A.R. review at 1UP
FPS horror games aren't something you see all that often. "The Undying" was one of the only games I can remember that successfully blended first-person action with horror elements, but it didn't sell that well. Probably the most successful was Doom...read the complete F.E.A.R. review at Game Rankings
Glorious fun. Slow motion gun battles tied to an engine that articulates carnage with the furious eloquence of a caffeinated linguist, bound together by people who've seen a lot of Asian horror, uniting to spread memorable moments over a bed of visceral...read the complete F.E.A.R. review at Eurogamer
The story is mysterious enough to demand further investigation, but after a while you start wishing they would hurry things up and get to the good stuff. It’s only later when you’ll stumble onto the Catch-22 that the only truly "good stuff" in the...read the complete F.E.A.R. review at GamingTrend
With a wider variety of tasks and environments and an engine that someone has at least taken a stab at optimising this could have been a true classic (a free pair of fresh pants would have helped as well)....read the complete F.E.A.R. review at Ferrago
An extremely well done shooter as far as the action goes, and only suffers from a few flaws such as the lack of level and enemy variety. If you can overlook those flaws, you will have a lot of fun battling a very elusive AI, which makes each and every...read the complete F.E.A.R. review at Game Chronicles
