Wasn't the survival horror game I was hoping for anyway, though it seemed like a solid mix of modern and old school RE. And it was only 77 cents so **** it.
Then I figured **** that **** and installed F.E.A.R. since I heard it was excellent. I knew it was supposed to be an FPS horror game but I wasn't expecting it to be so FPS that I would actually be fighting squads of human beings in military uniforms, even if they are clones. I've been promised actual scary **** to make me poop my pants, and the combat is surprisingly good due to some badass enemy AI (****s on COD), so I'm gonna pick the game back up tonight when the sun goes down and hope for the best. Hopefully the FPS doesn't outweigh the horror as I've been burnt out on those games for years. |
The narrative/horror aspects aren't good, (psychological horror doesn't do much for me, and there is a general lack of information about the game that makes the narrative uninteresting), but the combat more than makes up for the game's shortcoming imo. The ai is genius, because the enemies display intelligence despite the simple mechanics of the ai. It's hard as balls to decide what my favorite game of 2005 is, this or
Resident Evil 4.
