(continued from previous page) ...game where every other aspect of the title is not. Minor glitches, framerate drops, jaggedness, and various other issues don’t necessarily subtract from the eerie environment F.E.A.R. places you in. However, for those that have played the game on the PC or Xbox 360, should avoid it as the title is clearly worse then the other versions and doesn’t add anything new to the mix. Last, but certainly not the least, is the horrendous load times throughout the game. They are as bad as they sound. On any console, past or present, 60 second load times just show how rushed the game is for the hardware that it’s on.

All the negatives aside, F.E.A.R. still takes the player on an eerie, psychological journey, through a world that he/she will begin to understand as the game progresses. The weapon variety is nice and creative at times. The A.I. is ingenious, often times the player will find his/herself surrounded when they thought they were safe behind an obstacle.

If you have never played F.E.A.R. before, and own a PlayStation 3, go to your nearest rental store and give it a chance.
