Developed by Monolith Productions, F.E.A.R. is an intense first person close-quarters combat experience with rich atmosphere and an engaging, paranormal horror storyline. Already named "Best Action Game of E3 2005" by the E3 Critics, F.E.A.R. has been called "Vivendi’s classic-in-the-making" and "the PC’s top shooter" by PC Gamer (September 2005).

[Stikes]

wow. the sys requirements are way high. i can only run on medium and i have a 9600XT 756 ram and a 2ghz athlon


eek

[Stang]

Ya when Gryphon read the system requirements I was like you got to be kidding!

[XMEN Ashaman DTM]

So... anyone playing it?

[Ghryphen]

Yeah I played through it a little bit. One of the first scenes gave me goosebumps, the graphics are really killer, the shadows are really detailed and even stretch as you move away from light. I keep trying to Rambo like other games, but you are really frail, or I should say, it's more realistic when you get shot you actually get hurt.

I have an AMD 2.2 ghz, 1.5 gb RAM, and an ATI 9600 and it runs pretty well.

Here is the system requirement info
