OK Got another one done, another game that was sitting on my shelves for a while. The good think about being unemployed, more time for gaming.

F.E.A.R and F.E.A.R Extraction point.

My Ruling: Best SP FPS ever. It is better than COD4 and HL2.

The AI is incredible. Enemies flank, dive for cover, suppress and move, its by far the best AI I have seen. The graphics are slightly dated but the superior game play and story make up for this. The weapons feel right and are exciting. From a Plama gun that turns enemies into charred skeletons to a nail gun that harpoons enemies into walls where they stay attached.

The game is also very scary, although Alma is clearly inspired from the girl in "The Ring". Still there are some really scary moments. In one scene I climbed a ladder and right at the top of it Alma was right their to grab me. I jumped right out of my skin. As like a good horror movie The game is extremely gory, blood and guts are everywhere and enemies will die atrociously.

Anyone who likes ultra-violent FPS or horror stories would do well to check the game out. Highly recommended.

Only Criticism: Too Short. I finished both the Game and the Expansion Pack in 5 days, -about 15 hours total. Its not long, but its an incredible ride.
