F.E.A.R: Extraction Point

F.E.A.R: Extraction Point

Remember F.E.A.R, the game that turned your nights into a fright-fest? It's time to be afraid, once again.

Scary, Action packed, Great sound effects.

Nothing new, No major change in Multiplayer.

Remember F.E.A.R, the game that turned your nights into a fright-fest? The game that took the genre of FPS games to an entirely new level of perfection. So, when an expansion pack was announced, I for one was excited. When I finally got my hands on the game, it turned out to be great, but it was a little too true to the original. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but then what's the point of waiting for more than a year and getting the same product? Read on to know more.

Story
Extraction Point (EP) starts with the crashing of the chopper carrying "Team F.E.A.R". After crash-landing, you have to reach the extraction point on foot. What follows after that is a struggle for survival, with enemies both new and old. Alma is back and so is Fettel, apparently Alma resurrects Fettel. You, along with your team members, Douglas Holiday and Jin Sun-Kwon, fight your way through the city. There are quite a few twists in the story, but I guess they won't come as a surprise to you. The story, I might add, can be dramatic at times, but then what's life without a little drama? The game is short and hence the story has a few surprises, but I won't spoil them for you. Play the game and enjoy some decent surprises.




Gameplay
It all boils down to the gameplay, as that's what everyone is looking forward to. Sadly the game offers nothing new; it's the same as F.E.A.R. Most would argue that since this is an expansion, you can't expect much change. But even then when you wait so long for a game, your expectations are high. You see this is a great game and a must have for all FPS fans. It's the same prize-winning experience from last year, so there is no argument about its values as an FPS.



They have a couple of new weapons and new enemy types, which is what you would expect in an expansion. F.E.A.R was appreciated for its action and horror factor; this expansion outperforms both. You still get those chills, every time Alma comes along. The eerie feeling is experienced throughout the game, which makes it more interesting. There is more to do this time, more enemies, more barrels to blow, more fire power, and more fear. No game can surpass FEAR, when it comes to the astounding gun battles, with or without bullet time. This time around with the inclusion of the mini-gun, a laser gun and a turret, you can go crazier than before. My personal recommendation is the mini-gun; it can rip the enemy apart within second and it's a treat for your sadist eyes.

I never found this Game really Scary! Doom 3 gets all the credit for Scaring the $hit out of me :D By the way .. I loved FEAR Combat! Multiplayer. Its one hell of a Game! The Graphics and Special Effects are great.

Doom 3 Scary?? How old r u?

by Tushar, pune, on Nov 29, 2006 11:07 PM, Report abuse

Tushar...dude...have you even played Doom 3? It is one scary game. I'm playing F.E.A.R and Doom 3 right now. Doom3 rocks on the fear factor scale. F.E.A.R is more realistic and less scary.

lol... DOOM3 scary? Even Kids wont be scared. It wont match F.E.A.R in the scare factor. Try both games at high quality settings and resolutions above 1280 x 1024 and then tell me then. Even FEAR is not that very scary if you come to that, but the suspense is such that it keeps you on the edge.

u really want to freez with scare....play Silent Hill series..

It doesn't take resolution or settings for one to realize how creepy a game can get. Look up when you enter some rooms in Doom3. The monsters crawling around are pretty intense. F.E.A.R is a good game and does manage to interest very much but sorry to say, I played Doom3 on my laptop and it creeped me out. A 5.1 setup will really bring out the creeps in the game.

I am done with F.E.A.R. The last piece of the game though elaborate does not impress. The game is very scary to say the least but not as much as D3. D3 though surreal is one maze of scary characters!

The only part I felt truly creeped out was whenever Alma flashed in and out. Sound effects are at their best in this game. I played FEAR mainly after 12 in night with lights off and on surround speaker setup. But fact remains that only Doom 3 managed to scared me even in broad daylight. FEAR, sadly to me is not the best game out there but yes, it is a very good game and it does not disappoints.
