    Don't expect a FEAR 2 beater, but expect a solid, fun and memorable experience that you'll probably be tempted to return to and complete again, as I did twice :)    … Expand

I only play games as long as they're fun (I don't care about forcing myself to complete them), and it seems like lately, I only get as far as the last level on 8/10 shooters. Including this game. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This game is not scary. At all. It is kinda fun anyway, though. The gun sounds/reactions are addicting (the assault rifle's burst fire especially), the "slo-mo" is as fun as ever, and the A.I. is fairly smart. Shotgun dudes will rush up to you, machine gun guys will stay back and run from cover-to-cover, etc. Nothing mind-blowing, but acceptable nonetheless. The graphics are good too, although it froze like CRAZY until I forced it to run in DX9 mode instead of DX11. Funny, since Nexuiz, Crysis 2, and AvP don't mind being in DX11 and fully maxed out. Anyway, it seemed like a pretty decent shooter until the last few levels, when the game decided to start spawning the little demon-dog things over and over and over and over and over and over and over. If I have to fight 20 of the things, then for the love of all that is holy, let me fight them all at once! Making me fight them one-at-a-time or two-at-a-time repeatedly is nothing but tedious and aggravating. Also in the later levels, when you have to fight the force commanders (I think), they have the most insanely, annoyingly, rage-inducingly horrendous voices ever. I get that they're supposedly talking through walkie-talkies or some other communicator, and therefore their voices should be midrange-heavy, but when they talked, I seriously had to take my headphones off of my head because it hurt so freakin' bad. It wasn't overly LOUD, per se, just absolutely the worst fustercluck of mish-mashed midrange noise EVER. Plus they were insanely annoying to fight in groups. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Overall, I'm glad I only spent $5 on this game. I wouldn't recommend anyone else spend any more on it, unless you're a diehard F.E.A.R. fan, but then again, as this is so different from the others in the series, fans might hate it too.… Expand

    FEAR 3 is not really FEAR. It's not the same gameplay, it's not horror, it's not a singleplayer focus. Sure, I enjoyed my time with the game, but i certainly won't recommend it for people looking for a good singleplayer experience or a horror fill.

The game honestly felt so consolized and simplified that it has pretty much ruined the franchise. You have tons of multiplayer modes and coop, and a super short campaign (I beat it in 3.5 hours on Insane difficulty). For PC players, there is no local coop, and the FOV is quite low. The game still has serious bugs and glitches. The story has never really made sense or been interesting in FEAR games, but in FEAR 3 it takes that to a whole new level. Not only is it uninteresting, but it's nonsensical and most of the time you won't have any idea what's going on. Despite all these flaws, it's a good shooter in its own right. IF you approach the game by itself and hope for a decent experience, you will most likely find one. If you approach it as FEAR game, you will be very disappointed.… Expand

    F.E.A.R. Gets better with every new game F.E.A.R. 3 is a beautiful addition with new cover system and bloody awesome gameplay tho the beginning seems to be lacking of story and in game scripting compared to F.E.A.R. 2.

    F.E.A.R. 3 Feels a little to much like a arcade run and gun at times which bothers me but overall i love F.E.A.R. story,scripting cinematics.

    This is such an under-rated game. Action/10, Horror/5-6, Story/7, CO-OP/9 and Overall Gameplay/8. Fear 3 has a bit of everything and it blends together SO well. Using Paxton Fettle is fantastic, the machanics of it just feels so right and this game is honestly one of the best CO-OP games I've played in a while. A must have but maybe not for it's full price.

    Alma está de regreso en la tercera parte de esta serie de FPS la cual a pesar de no haber recibido buenas críticas en su segunda entrega, llega FEAR 3 por parte de WB Games y desarrollado por Day 1 Studios con varias mejoras que analizaremos en esta reseña.

    Qué bonita familia Primero que nada para aquellos que no conozcan esta serie, les comento que la historia es acerca de una niña    Alma está de regreso en la tercera parte de esta serie de FPS la cual a pesar de no haber recibido buenas críticas en su segunda entrega, llega FEAR 3 por parte de WB Games y desarrollado por Day 1 Studios con varias mejoras que analizaremos en esta reseña.

    Qué bonita familia

    Primero que nada para aquellos que no conozcan esta serie, les comento que la historia es acerca de una niña con poderes paranormales, llamada Alma, quien es utilizada por una compañía de nombre Armacham, para formar un ejército de soldados replicants o clones, el cual será controlado por alguno de sus generales con poderes psíquicos …….no muy original pero lo interesante es, que en uno de esos tantos intentos de controlar a Alma, se crearon dos prototipos de generales que fueron creados con células de Alma y del director de Armacham, Harlan Wade, quien los crió, si se puede llamar así a tenerlos en un cuarto y hacer experimentos con ellos todos los días, ahora tomaremos el control de estos dos prototipos como nuestros personajes principales Point Man y Fettel.

    La tercera parte de esta saga se lleva a cabo poco tiempo después del final de FEAR 2 pero con el protagonista del primer juego, Point Man, que junto con su hermano Fettel trataran de reunirse con su madre, la cual está a punto de dar a luz, aunque cada uno con sus propias intenciones.

    Pasando a lo que es el gameplay, se trata de un First Person Shooter pero con el toque de terror que caracteriza a la serie, tal vez no sea mucho, pero, lograra hacerte saltar de tu asiento más de una vez.

    Dos protagonistas, dos estilos

    Una de las cosas innovadoras en la serie es el modo cooperativo para 2 personas que te permite jugar la campaña controlando a los 2 hermanos, los cuales tienen sus propias ventajas/desventajas para los diferentes estilos de juego, donde tenemos a Point Man, que tiene el poder de alentar el tiempo para así poder destruir a sus enemigos con mayor facilidad, además de poder utilizar cualquiera de las armas que encuentre en su camino, y a Fettel que puede tomar el cuerpo de sus enemigos, hacerlos flotar, lanzarles objetos o dispararles con sus manos unos rayos de energía que aunque no les hacen mucho daño, son infinitos, pero tiene la desventaja de no poder tomar ningún arma a menos que esté controlando a algún soldado enemigo.

    Juega en línea….. pero con quien

    El modo cooperativo se puede jugar con 2 personas en tu casa o en línea, aunque en estos días que lo estuve jugando no encontré a nadie que estuviera en línea, lo que puede ser una señal de que pronto cerraran los servidores. Pero en lo que es el modo multijugador si había varios conectados, así que pude checar la opción de “sobrevive” en la que te encuentras en una casa en medio de la ciudad y como su nombre lo dice, no tienes mas opción que sobrevivir a las hordas de enemigos que te aparecerán, desde soldados simples hasta criaturas con forma de hombres lobo como las que aparecen durante el modo historia del juego.

    ¿Porque jugarlo?

    Una de las razones que les puedo dar, es que si bien no es un FPS refinado como COD o BF3, no es malo y el agregado de terror creo que le suma los puntos suficientes para que le des una oportunidad, además del modo cooperativo off-line.

    También les digo a todos los que han jugado las anteriores entregas, vale la pena jugar esta tercera parte que es la continuación a la historia de los anteriores y no los decepcionara.

    Algo que me fascino fueron las partes en que esta todo oscuro y solo alcanzas a ver lo que tu lámpara logra iluminar y en algunos momentos hasta se te llega a apagar dándote la sensación de que estas en una obscuridad total, todo esto mientras tienes a varias criaturas detrás de ti, esa sensación vale el juego.

    ¿Porque NO jugarlo?

    Quiero comentar que la primera falla del juego está desde la portada la cual nos muestra a los 2 personajes principales con un look diferente al que tienen en el juego, que la verdad nunca entendí ya que el del juego es mejor al presentado en la portada.

    Si eres de los que buscan los mejores gráficos en cada uno de sus juegos, se desilusionaran con este, porque se nota que no fue su mayor prioridad y casi puedo asegurar que se reciclaron muchas cosas del 2 tanto en los escenarios como en los enemigos que se ven iguales a los del anterior juego de hace 3 años.

    Y al final

    Después de todo lo que les acabo de comentar, creo que si tienen modo de comprarlo a buen precio, vale la pena para unas cuantas horas de acción y tensión en nuestro PS3 o porque no, rentarlo y dedicarle un fin de semana para que logres terminarlo solo o con algún amigo en tu casa.    … Expand

    Gameplay: The game focuses more on action, but there’s still a good amount of Alma creepiness. It’s on par or probably a little better than FEAR 2, but FEAR 1 still takes the cake for horror/intensity. The gunplay is excellent, the guns are great, and the moves are back, oh and did I forget slow-mo. The game gets a rather good difficulty spike near the middle to end portions of the game, and the boss battles are pretty straightforward. The new co-op mode allows the singleplayer to be enjoyed with a friend, although I’d recommend playing solo due to possible different endings based on who’s stats were better, but I’m not so sure about this, because I played solo. 9.

    Story: The story continues from FEAR 2, you play as pointman (FINALLY YES), this is a good thing. He reunites with his brother in spirit form, and you even run into a familiar main character from the second FEAR game. The story wraps up in an excellent ending. 9.5.

    Replay Value: If you plan on investing time into the multiplayer (I didn’t) then purchase, nonetheless the single player is only about 6 hours on normal. Got the game for 5 bucks on steam, great deal for me, but since it was a rent price, the score is effected here, and since there’s not much else besides multiplayer to do in this game. 8.5.

    What can I say about F.E.A.R 3? Well, obviously, it's the 3rd game in the F.E.A.R franchise, which, one would expect, would say everything. But in all honesty, it doesn't - in fact, the third installment of the F.E.A.R franchise is much more akin to the generic first person shooter than the trouser-browning horror shooter that the F.E.A.R name is otherwise known for.

But in all honesty, it doesn't - in fact, the third installment of the F.E.A.R franchise is much more akin to the generic first person shooter than the trouser-browning horror shooter that the F.E.A.R name is otherwise known for.

    The gameplay is, to put it in one word, generic. You have guns, they go bang, there are a LOT of enemies to shoot with them, same old. However, the genericness is tempered slightly with a very nice cover system, the slow-mo mechanic which is a mainstay of the F.E.A.R franchise, and the occasional creepy moment, though undoubtedly nothing as trouser-wetting as the previous games in the series, which I have admittedly not actually played a lot of. There is also some geo-mod, but this is needless and hinders more than it helps. However, the game is still relatively fun despite the genericness and shortcomings.

    The story is confusing. Whilst playing through the game I had little idea of what was actually going on, but from what I could gather, Alma, the creepy little F.E.A.R mainstay, has become pregnant for whatever reason, and the main character, the "Point Man" and his brother Paxton Fettel, who was killed in F.E.A.R 1 and who has somehow returned, have to find her and... well, Fettel wants to eat the child and Point Man wants to destroy it. That's as much as I could gather.

    The game takes about 6 to 7 hours to beat, though this is somewhat artificially extended by the game's difficulty. I was playing on "Commando" (Normal) difficulty, and some areas of the game were heavily confusing and others were incredibly difficult, particularly one section where I had to defeat a massive mech which could kill me in a few shots and tear any cover you might choose to use to pieces, and also another where I was attacked by TWO of the most annoying enemy in the game, which needless to say was frustrating.

    To summarise, F.E.A.R 3 is generic, difficult, short, confusing and has stupidly large numbers of incredibly annoying enemies. I'd reccommend this game only if you're a fan of first-person shooters in general and like a challenge, in which case you may find it quite fun (Though you may find yourself not wanting anyone to mention phase casters to you ever again), otherwise save your cash and buy another good FPS, or better, one of the prior F.E.A.R games.    … Expand

    What happened to this franchise?! It's an absolute mess. Mouse controls are messed up on PC, the story has degenerated into a confusing and nonsensical mess, and the scares are practically non-existent. What's left is a shallow first person shooter that doesn't do anything original or groundbreaking to separate itself from its predecessor. Truly a disappointing game.

Most people dislike this mechanic, I for one enjoyed it in Killzone 2 and in this game. Fettel's powers are a blast to use and there is a satisfying array of weapons. Mechanically, the game is sound. However, it has some story problems. On the whole it is far less creepy the earlier titles, giving Alma a much reduced role and forgoing many scares in favor of more thrilling gun battles. Much like F.E.A.R. 2, it makes little use of prior story elements and opts to take things laterally, offering some interesting backstory but leaving the continuing narrative stagnant. As it stands, each new FEAR raises more questions then it answers, and here we are years later with only a laughably poor free multiplayer shooter in F.E.A.R. Online to show for it.… Expand

    As FPS gaming go, the mechanics are solid enough in FEAR 3, shooting feels precise and mostly satisfying if a little weightless similiar to Call of Duty gunfeel. Most of them feel powerful enough, just for the shotgun which lacks punch and takes 2 or 3 shots up close to kill someone with it. Levels are very linear with nothing really special in their design. Atleast theres few sections where you get to pilot powerarmor and mechs in which youre near unstoppable, but other games have done it better in that area aswell. At times game likes to throw a few overpowered enemies at you which make you adapt and think of new ways to take them down, you'll die a few times but once you figure it out theyre beatable without much struggle.

    Story wise game has few cool and interesting moments linked to the brothers, but all and all nothing that memorable, its just there to compliment action and chaos in the world. Also the game tries to be scary, but just doesnt succeed at it, creepiest thing in whole game is one invisible monster coming after you in later levels, but just his disturbing design, not his presence.

    In the end its a decent action FPS ride in which you can feel like an unstoppable bada$$ when youre using the bullert time, atleast most of the time. Got nothing else to play and find F3AR on the cheaper side maybe give it a go. Just turn off V Sync or use adaptive v sync to avoid lagg and slow down.    … Expand

    This story was a bit of a turd. The game wasn't horrible. But it was kind of a let down compared to the previous two games. There was no spook or horror aspect to the game anymore. The story was bland and weird. They did a good job connecting the other games together. Other than that, eh. They should have done it differently.

    The Co-op was the only thing really keeping me into this game. I loved playing with a friend, and switching between the two characters. Having Paxtons telekinetic powers was so much fun. Then joining and venturing with a friend.
    But still, the story needs work, and a better ending.    … Expand

    Unfortunately it's a step down to the previous games.
    Not even scary, just generic FPS, with minor changes in gameplay.
    A decent one, but weakest comparing to other ones.

    Это какой-то ужас. Причем в плохом смысле. В принципе, все что было сказано про F.E.A.R. 2 - почти полностью подходит и к этой части, кроме того момента, что мне и в момент выхода игра уже казалась какой-то фуфлыжной, и такой же и запомнилась.

    В общем, все плохо: геймплей, локации, музыка, сюжет, а дизайн ГГ и вообще эти катсцены (когда взрослый ГГ и фантомный брат) напоминают какой-то дешевый аниме мультфильм, с соответствующими диалогами. Превратили F.E.A.R., атмосферный хоррор-шутан, в какой-то аркадный и совсем уж бездумный шутер, где после каждой миссии дают очки... как в каком-нибудь Serious Sam или Doom. Хотя я не помню, были ли в Serious Sam или Doom очки после миссии, но сравнение я думаю понятно.

    Честно говоря, я уже просто молился чтобы игра закончилась побыстрее, чтобы допройти уже до конца и объективно написать ревью.

    Однако, тут довольно прикольные катсцены между главами, где два брата в психиатрической камере (или палате, комнате). Но лучше не тратьте время на эту лабуду и просто посмотрите эти ролики на ютубе, коих и наскребётся на минут 5-10.

    First Encounter Action Recon 3 in its form differs slightly from the formula of the previous two views. Takes a bit of choking away and adds more action. The possibility of playing in co-op has been introduced and an extensive multiplayer mode has been added. A system of points and mini-challenges has been introduced and a character with kinematic skills has been added.

The possibility of playing in co-op has been introduced and an extensive multiplayer mode has been added. A system of points and mini-challenges has been introduced and a character with kinematic skills has been added. The number of available weapons has been taken into account, the amount of ammo has been reduced and the use of shields, which is a key activity, has returned.
    I do not delve too much into the plot of the game - it is the culmination of Alma Wade's story.
    The game is short, because it lasts less than 6 hours, but the developers have left the players with the tools to play and increase the number of hours.
    F.E.A.R. 3 is a very good FPS with everything in the F.E.A.R. good.
    For fans of the universe and enthusiasts of cooperative play, the title is worth attention.

    Удалите первый уровень из игры вообще, Это ужас, Только из-за него не стоит играть даже. Представьте решетку в фильмах к зоне 52 и теперь представьте что она не простреливается. Это как вообще? И вас еще и ИИ не видет через решетку или стекла.Удалите первый уровень из игры вообще, Это ужас, Только из-за него не стоит играть даже.

    I would say that F.E.A.R 3 is a good game in terms of action and all, however it is not scary and does not compare to the other games in the series, the story disappointed me a lot and I must say that I would prefer it to be different. I had a lot of fun playing this game but honestly it is the worst in the F.E.A.R.

    F.E.A.R 3 feels so confusing and detached from the franchise that bearing the name only makes things worse.

    It's not a horror game like the previous games, this one is just a violent FPS

    This is what happens when developers focus on consoles. Any franchise becomes a typical hide-and-seek shooter where all the drive and adrenaline that we loved the first part is lost.

    To be fair, all the same problems were present in the sequel, but in the third part these ideas and misunderstanding of its audience reached its peak.
    Everything in the game became cartoonish. When I got to the level where you have to fight off zombies, I was very disappointed and didn't want to continue playing because Day 1 Studios had turned a once terrible action game into a circus.
    After an average sequel, Part 3 hammered the final nail in the coffin of the FEAR series, and rightly so, because you can't make that many mistakes and ignore your audience.    … Expand

    The third installment of the Fear series sees the once fresh shooter descending into the mire of modern mainstream gaming, but it is still a fairly compelling play and a fun co-op. [Aug 2011]

    This game would have been a lot more exciting if it either way genuinely scary or embraces its action parts a lot more. Instead it's stuck in purgatory, as a generic shooter with superficial horror elements.

    Fear 3 is just good shooter – more thriller than horror game. Duels are almost perfect so you'll be satisfied with them even when they are the only contents this game offers. [Issue#207]
