I picked up a copy of F.E.A.R. last night and so far so good as far as
the game is concerned. The graphics are impressive and the
fire-fights are intense (excellent use of smoke and physics in the
game). Enemy AI seems to be pretty solid as well as I had two
guys distract me while one of them tried to flank me which was pretty
cool. The atmosphere in the game is amazing and the game manages
to scare you without having to resort to cheap monster-closet type
tricks.
What did annoy me was that I purchased the Directors Cut version of the
game and was disappointed to find that the game ships in a paper sleve
with the serial number on the back. I know the market is tight
but if I'm plunking down $55 for a game I do kind of expect to see a
nice case inside. At least sell the game in the new fancy "DVD on
steriods" cases that EA and Ubi are using.
