Synopsis (Wiki)
F.E.A.R. simulates combat from a first person perspective. The protagonist's body is fully present, allowing the player to see his or her character's torso and feet while looking down. Within scripted sequences, when rising from a lying position or fast-roping from a helicopter for example, or climbing ladders, the hands and legs of the protagonist can be seen performing the relevant actions.




Story
FEARS story plays you as a character working for the US government on a secret operations team named FEAR (First Encounter Assault Recon). Your job is to explore paranormal scenarios, and rid of any ghosts, or any paranormal beings in the areas you are assigned. You are sent to an origin facility to take out an enemy called Fettel, and discover clues that lead you to him. As you progress through the story, unlocking clues towards Fettel, you encounter ghosts, demons, and various paranormal creatures.




Graphics
Being developed in 2005, FEAR (First Encounter Assault Recon) developed by multiple companies, delivers a great visual experience with great graphics. Each gun is crafted individually, and the scenarios can vary from narrow white halls to fire lit hotels. The scenarios are sincerely great, and delivers one of the best visually effective games of 2005. The console made version delivers graphic tweaks, which make the graphics even better. For a game developed in 2005, the graphics are surprisingly well made and developed. The smooth character designs are also very well designed along with the enemies.




Gameplay
FEAR by far is one of the creepiest, horror delivering storylines of all time. The game's gameplay delivers one of the first ever truely horror experiences. Pop out monsters, creepy auras, and ghosts, fulfill the missions to find Fettel. Creepy ghosts and demons throughout the game, makes it one of the best horror games of all time. Gory scenarios and blood fill the game. The downside to FEAR is the repetitive aspect of the game. You may find yourself traveling throughout the same area of the map multiple times, and when you do escape that certain area, the different scenarios appear the same. Also, the enemies are quite repetitive. Multiple enemies may appear, but they all appear to be the same, and you may see multiple of the same enemies at a time. Although shooting has its pros, as shooting is smooth and doesn't get boring fast, some enemies react almost exactly the same to bullet shots as always. Investigation makes it way into the game as you will explore various areas loooking for clues and what not.
