F.E.A.R. Combat

F.E.A.R. Combat is an early Christmas present from Monolith and it is some violent and vicious online action that looks absolutely gorgeous, although players will need a pretty hefty gaming rig to experience it in all its glory. With the recommended specifications rounding off at a Pentium 4 3.0 or equivalent, 1 gig of RAM and a GeForce 6600 or an ATI Radeon 9800, some settings can be scaled down to increase performance, but too much and you will be cheating yourself of an awesome visual experience. If you have some time to kill, get your download fired up, but it will take some time seeing as the download itself pulls in at a hefty 2 gigs, which is no small file, but it is so definitely worth it. With all that F.E.A.R. Combat has to offer, and for the whole kit and caboodle being absolutely free of charge, it really is a game that no FPS fan should miss out on.

F.E.A.R. Combat will not revolutionize the FPS genre like Half-Life did all those years ago, but it is fun, fast paced, and better than many of the other titles out there. And, you can't beat the price.

As a free download this game is definitely a can't-miss for FPS lovers, and definitely worth a look even for those who might not otherwise take the plunge and pick up a copy of F.E.A.R. Additionally, the free download incentive should really boost the number of players on the servers, and will most likely end up selling even more copies of F.E.A.R. as people who love the multiplayer game get hooked and want to play through the much creepier and atmospheric single player game.

You’ll find out whether this is a good thing or a bad one, and especially if the offer answers precisely to the demand. But before proceeding, I must draw attention upon the fact that the game wears the „FREE” label and comes as a 1.8 GB download. This aspect could hang heavily in the scales of a constructive criticism, generating the necessary foundation for extenuating circumstances. Once installed, F.E.A.R. Combat, with his 3.45 GB gauge, reaches with ease the statute of a stand alone game, a moment when everyone hopes that the experience waiting ahead will make up for the time they’ll squander.

F.E.A.R fait partie de ces jeux dont on en attendait pas beaucoup, espérant au mieux un gameplay potable servi par des graphismes léchés. Résultat, on s’était complètement planté et cette tuerie à l’ambiance malsaine s’était récolté un 16 bien mérité lors de notre test. Et comme pour mieux nous rappeler notre manque de foi en la pierre angulaire de Monolith Productions, voici qu’est sorti il y a quelques jours F.E.A.R Combat, un standalone gratuit reprenant le trait pour trait la partie multi de son grand frère. C’est donc reparti pour de longues heures de frag, à grands coups de rangers, de pistolet à clou et autres grenades télécommandées. Et si c’était ça le bonheur ?
