FEAR Creeps to Xbox 360 in October

FEAR her!


What is FEAR? Yoda said it leads to anger, but we say "FEAR leads to a lot of happy Xbox 360 owners".

Yes, FEAR will fill people with pee-in-your-pants nervousness and edge-of-your-seat tension. But it will also make them happy. Very happy.

What exactly is FEAR? FEAR was a critically acclaimed PC game, but the Xbox 360 version has some big improvements:

1. A bonus level integrated into the storyline.
2. A brand new weapon (although it's still a secret what it's going to be).
3. It looks better. The graphics are smoother and seem to go faster on the Xbox 360 than on the PC. Why? It seems that the game developers realized that they could squeeze in more performance. So they put in better graphics.
4. The 360 control makes sense in an action-packed first-person game.

So what is FEAR? FEAR is where you are part of the "First Encounter Assault Recon Team" (Such. A. Cool. Name.). And it's a supernatural somewhat freaky thriller of a game (you gotta love the mind-controlled armored zombie-ific clone warriors). What's more, your character moves like a star in an action movie thanks to dramatic slow-motion effects and kick-ass action moves (melee attacks, pounding enemy faces with the butt of your gun, flying kicks and scissors kicks, and lots of running, dodging, and being cool).


FEAR is developed by Monolith and by Vivendi Games and should be out by October. Keep watching this space for screenshots and more.

it is your own problem that you can't play fps on a console. stay on a computer with a mouse and keyboard...we don't really care that you can't take the time to learn something new.

# BF2 online on a PS2......duh!Guest 2006-08-08 07:29

Your problem is you are playing online on a PS2. With little to no online support, what do you expect?

Xbox360 online F.E.A.R. will be tight, I am sure. Halo 2 is by far the best online multiplayer (expecially by keeping down the hackers/modders).

Don't be fooled. I played this game on the PC and it is REALLY boring!! Oh it looks fantastic no doubt..but there are about three level designs for the entire game. A hospital, a warehouse, and I forget the third...but..all the rooms look the same, very little variety, the supernatural element is completely incidental...Seriously..this game is more or less that game "Black" but with far worse everything. Don't waste your money when this comes out.

# fear the F.E.A.R..but don't fear the reaperGuest 2006-08-08 14:03
You have been warned. Mark my words..this game is a rental..Seriously..NOTHING happens in this game. You get waves of mercs coming at you and cut scenes of ghosts that have little purpose to anything. Then more mercs..and then..that's right..more mercs..And three very mediocre enviroments for the whole game. Then it ends abruptly. Can I have my sixty bucks now please?..My description is damn near more exciting than this game once the visuals wear off.
