The lack of variety really, really destroys this game's chance of being remembered.

Every once in a while a game comes along that changes the way games are made. Whether it's games that establish a new genre, or just games the redefine them, some games not only are good but challenge the standards of how games are made. The FPS genre is one of the most forefront genres to constantly be in need of a challenge. But the ones that have changed the genre are far and few between. There's Doom, which essentially defined it, Half Life, which turned it into a truly legitamate and leading genre of game, and now we have F.E.A.R.

which not only brings the FPS genre into the modern era, but redefines it with an incredible balance of atmosphere, action, and technical aspects that will long be the talk of people for many years to come.

The story isn't terribly deep, but it is mysterious enough to keep you interested in finding out what the answer to everything is.

Heck, what other game could have you afraid of a little girl (and believe me, she is very creepy).

The enemies are smarter than any FPS has been in a long time and make the action challenging, forcing you to use tactics to fight them.

The lighting and sound are very effective.
