F.E.A.R. SP Demo

[Aug 05, 2005, 1:10 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

As promised, a playable F.E.A.R. single-player demo is now available, looking to strike some of the First Encounter Assault and Reconnaissance of Monolith's upcoming paranormal first-person shooter into gamers. The download is available on This Sierra Downloads Page, and mirrored on 1UP, 3D Gamers, 4players.de (Germany), ActionTrip, Computer Gamers (Romania), eXtreme-Players.de (Germany), FileFront, FilePlanet (registration required), Filerush (torrent), Gamer's Hell, GameSpot DLX (registration required), VGPro, and Worthplaying.

This hardly seems like the most remarkable game ever. Choppy framerate for starters. Then there's the "marines going into random place for random reason" type story with the half-arsed "no, no, it's a horror" bit tagged on. ("No, no, seriously - there's a scary child! Really!!!)

Unexciting graphics, average gameplay, no obvious story, and poor performance. Not to mention the 600mb download!!!!

Having said that, enemies leaping through windows was quite cool, and the shadows were reasonably good. But that's about it. Otherwise desperately underwhelming. The reviews are going to have to be bloody good to persuade me on this one.
