The lowdown:
Despite having some of the best graphics and artificial intelligence of any recent first person shooter, as well as the creepiest atmosphere, the original F.E.A.R. didnt do nearly as well as it deserved. This expansion offers a second chance to see what you were missing with a story that picks up immediately from the end of the original game as you try to escape the destruction of the Origin Facility. The expansion doesnt really add much that is new beyond a few new weapons (including some super useful sentry guns) and enemies (such as a giant walking tank) and it is rather short but its still got the best gunfights in the business.
Most exciting moment:
Despite the Japanese horror influenced atmosphere, the best thing about F.E.A.R. is just how intelligent your enemies are. Theyll constantly try to outflank and outmanoeuvre you and many times youll only be saved by the use of your essential bullet time ability. In the end its your intelligent opponents you fear the most, not the virtual ghosts.
Since you ask:
The reason that there are no new multiplayer options in the game is that a free update has already been released called F.E.A.R. Combat. In an unusually generous move you can download it for nothing from the F.E.A.R. website at www.joinfear.com.
The bottom line:
More of the same of one of the most underrated shooters of last year.-HARRISON DENT
Manufacturer's Description
The F.E.A.R. Expansion begins where F.E.A.R. left off. The game starts immediately after the player's escape helicopter crashes as a result of the blast that signified the end of F.E.A.R.
With new weapons and new grenades, the player will have to fight off some familiar foes as well as some new ones. The expansion will continue to build upon the close quarter combat and paranormal horror moments that made F.E.A.R. what it is.
