F.E.A.R. fully Loaded

Wow !

That was the first impression.

Although it took a fair amount of time to load on my Athlon 2100, with 512 DDR and 128MB Radeon 9200 SE machine, The output was really worth the wait.
It could load only to medium level, but boy its really amazing , the quality of texture is wonderful.

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

That was the second expression.

The little thing really wrecks ur nerve, yeh.. u call it a GIRL !.. its a monster !
well, I havnt been frightened by any monster in My PC like this. May be some creatures in Halflife had similar effect. but this is realy different.. a situation in which a soldier is made to fear by a little girl !

The most unforgettable experience was the occasion when I was on the Ladder, and there she stood in front of me. I skidded along to reach fast below so that I could arm with the best one I had, I looked up to see her vanish ... and the next frame I saw it just besides me.. that was a terrible effect. It was so effective tha it took my brother away from the system. Poor guy had stopped playing when he heard a window pane crashing. :)

The AI is great. HTe enemy soldiers look more real when they smashed the objects on the way.. hiding behind the tables. But one thing was missing - they came from hte same place, no matter how many tiem u replay. So the replayability of hte game is very poor. That was the only thing make me feel that SWAT is a lot more COST EFFECTIVE. U get bored even with EAs 15 Season FIFA 2005 !

And, as always, these HI-Fi games come as bulkier on Disk as it is on Processor. The Demo took lesser time to complete than to Install. They could have included much more in the mission with all hte files alerady loaded.. Imagine u dont have a DVD drive and have to install the game from around 6 CD's.

May be i can conclude here . the game can be given 4.5 stars outta 5.
I'll take the 0.5 for the replayability.
