Both single player and co-op will require you to work your way through the same eight stages (known as Intervals). There's audio nuance everywhere.įettel+is+taking+control. The voice-acting is at times over the top, but the sound effects and music add greatly to the scary feel of the game. 3 for a top tier shooter in terms of its looks. And the game runs fairly smoothly, with the exception of some stuttering when the game is loading and saving mid-play. 3 provides passable graphics that look slightly dated but still get the job done. Better yet, you can play the campaign together with a friend locally or online, utilizing both characters' strengths simultaneously. While Point Man is your typical gun-toting badass, Fettel is able to possess enemy soldiers and generally cause an insane amount of havoc. 3's great strengths is that you can actually play as Fettel through any level that Point Man already beaten, which gives a completely different feel for getting through the main campaign. Stopping Alma's pregnancy will be no easy task for Point Man, especially because he's accompanied continuously by the apparition of fellow Project Origin prototype Paxton Fettel, another character fans of the series will be familiar with. Because after all, if Alma is so powerful, who knows what that kid is capable of? Thus, stopping Alma from having this kid is the name of the game in F.E.A.R. Alma is an evil psychic dynamo manipulated by Armacham, the same company responsible for Point Man's genetic enhancement, but her powers far outweigh his own. 2, the mysterious female foil Alma forces herself upon that game's playable character - Becket - and becomes pregnant with his child.

The shooter market is definitely a saturated one, rife with derivative titles that rarely buck any trends.
