Well as i posted before Gamestop sold me F.E.A.R early so I thought i would post a short quicky on how the game is from my point of view, not someone who is payed or works to review games. I am just a hardcore PC and Console gamer
NO SPOILERS I PROMISE
i would never ever do that for it is EVIL
The game starts off sort of like the demo with the bad ass intro, the 2 of guys, and girl, talking. Than your in the car and you get out and i was excited but anxious to get past all this B.S considering I had all ready done it in the demo. So i walk up ahead and what do i see? Something different! The demo was created specifically for a SP demo, and i know this for a fact cause the further i got in i recognized some area's from the demo but everything around them changed, so KUDOS to Monolith for not just cutting and pasting something from the game. So needless to say i was excited because all of this was new to me. I played through the whole first part and went to LVL 2 i guess you could call it, and man these guys are freaking smart! I usually if not always play my games on the highest difficulty setting, it just makes the game more worth it and i feel like when it takes me 22 hours to get through God of War on GOD mode and i beat it i feel accomplished. So i'm on extreme, and i highly reccomend if you play this to play it on that level. It doesn't really make the guys smarter, although they seem more aggressive to rush me and flank me VS when it was on moderate. But health drops faster and it seems more realistic. A bullet on Extreme does 35 through 60 damage, and on moderate it does 15 to 20, so meh to moderate yay to extreme. All i can tell you is that if you were wondering about the game in anyway shape or form, it is amazing. Half life 1 and 2 in my eyes are probably the best games i have ever played with GoW and RE4 follow closely behind. I have to say after playing this game that its almost ranked up there with HL. The scares are freaky, i have jumped probably 5 to 8 times already. Its the first game since i played Doom III where i was nervous about going around the corner or encountering the next enemy cause i was afraid of what would jump out at me next. I'll touch on the graphics and sound briefly but if you didn't already see screen shots or play the demo, this game is truly next gen, i mean its freaking gorgeous. Dynamic shadows, Soft shadowing, Self shadowing, and amazing physics to boot. You 100% KNOW this game will be showing up on X360 there is NO doubt about it. Sound like the graphics are amazing, i recommend nice headphones and darkness to play it, it just seems better that way.
Well anyway i really dont want to go into the story and everything because i dont want to ruin anything for you guys. Heres a screen shot and i'll post more in the next to or 15 min. as i continue!
MMMM SOFT SHADOWS
