ANOTHER COOKIE - FROM THE *OFFICIAL* COOKIE-CUTTER,
By
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate (PC DVD) (Video Game)
Lately, the are a number of novels sporting ROBERT LUDLUM's name up front - yet they are ghostwritten by in-stable-writers of his publisher. And, of course, they feel nothing like LUDLUM's novels.
SIERRA, the owner of the FEAR franchise, is putting out this official (stand alone) expansion - whilst, MONOLITH, the original team that actually created FEAR, has announced its own upcoming expansion named PROJECT ORIGIN. As with ghostwritten books, the in-house elves do not feel confident to create anything new and instead take baby-steps around the original story. Thus, the PERSEUS MANDATE is actually the same story as the original FEAR - seen from the perspective of a different F.E.A.R. agent on a timeline that runs parallel to the original. To make this idea more palatable, a new set of weapons and gadgets are available (you will love the UV scope that helps targeting in foggy rooms) and the set of enemies is refreshed with some new additions. Paxton Fettel, the original villain gets replaced by, well, Perseus (whose Mandate we are concerned with), Alma (the scary little grungy girl) only makes fleeing appearances - and Shade fits the shoes of the scariest spectral beast around. The graphics, although somewhat improved, do not veer far from the original - which may not be a bad thing, since they were quite good, yet somewhat dated today. What has clearly improved is the sound: PERSEUS MANDATE may not be as visually scary as the original but it sure is aurally scary! All in all, a slightly improved game with a clearly weaker story. The cookie-cutter at work...

Same Old Fear,
By
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate (PC DVD) (Video Game)
This isn't a next generation title. Still uses the old graphics engine as the last two titles and the graphics are very good. This game is more of the same really- that isn't a bad thing though!
The game doesn't feel new but is still very enjoyable to play. My only gripe was the weak story line for this one and the ending is terrible. But the gameplay is fun and will keep you hooked until you finish it. I play it on full 1280x1024 with P4 3.6Ghz, 2Gb Ram and X850 XT GFX card.

A stunning addition to FEAR!,
By
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate (PC DVD) (Video Game)
FEAR Perseus Mandate runs in parallel with the first FEAR expansion pack. New weapon additions and more horrifying scenes make up an adventurous FPS game. The game engine adapts quite well to PC performance and automatically sets the best possible setup to run the game. It is still gripping to play FEAR and the storyline has something new to tell but I think Sierra could have come up with something a bit better. Game graphics are exciting as well as level detail and it seems as if enemy forces AI has slightly improved. Great game and a must buy!
