    Terrible game! If you loved FEAR you must go to the shop. If you don't love FEAR.

    F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate is a stand-alone expansion for horror game FEAR. The game takes place during the first FEAR, in which a special band member side FEAR , Is sent to investigate the Armacham Perseus Project.Gameplay is slightly improved, bringing the first "partners" to help you during battle. The graphics seem a little outdated for 2007.

    This game seems like an amateur developed FEAR mod for a lot of it. It looks worse then the original game, which came out in 2005, and is a total rip off at $30. The multiplayer is more or less the same as FEAR and FEAR combat, except less people are playing. All in all the game is pretty poor and very boring.

    Very average game. Made for hardcore fans of F.E.A.R. franchise. There are some good ideas, especially at the end of the game but suddenly, everything is ridiculously left out like developpers was facing a dead end or out of imagination.

The 3D engine is totally unfitted to hudge outdoor environments which look more than ever generic and recycled from previous F.E.A.R. Some textures still look good, others are terrible or ugly. Combats are as usual nice and sometimes funny but new weapons won't change the fact that the gameplay is repetitive and boring at the end. Bottom line : it's time for F.E.A.R to end this painful and still unexplained story. $29.95 is somewhere a total rip off for your wallet.… Expand

    In a way, Perseus Mandate is a lot like Half-Life: Opposing Force. It's an expansion that takes a good slice of the base game and adds a lot of original spices to it that can surpass the base game itself, rather than just be a boring run-of-the-mill expansion.

I was hoping F.E.A.R. Extraction Point would be more like this one, where you play as a completely different character and get a nice new perspective in the game's universe. You get some great new characters, weapons, enemies, all that fun stuff. I think the metascore for this is too low. It's an excellent treat that all F.E.A.R. fans should try.… Expand

    Perseus Mandate is a fun DLC and the funnest one i thought beating extraction point and better than the main game sure its short around 4 hours and you can do everything and the bonus missions but there more in it than the F.E.A.R 1 there more weapons way more character models and change of environments most things all still stay grey but it feels better and alot funner.

    An good example again how they turned an great Title into an money milking cow. From the beginning i could already tell there wasnt put that much effort into it like in the previous two games. There isnt much to say about it. It just feels dull and boring. AI is also in coma. It was just a cheap and easy way to make money from the fans.

    Another boring installment.

    Pros.:
    - Nice AI and shoot outs.
    - For that time, it was a superb graphics and physics. Lights.
    - Characters are fine.

    Cons.:
    - Story. Another nonsense.
    - Characters are wasted - killed to quick with barely developed empathy to them.
    - It's just boring - same thing over and over.

    Шняга какая-то. Кринжовый сюжет, тупые злодеи, опять тот же F.E.A.R. - опять мочить клонов и еще каких-то козлов. Разрабы попытались сделать какой-то приквел что ли, параллельная история идущая одновременно с оригинальной частью. Не знаю, душновато, еле прошел, но в принципе даже это лучше, чем 2 и 3 часть.

Тоже получил бурю впечатлений в детстве, так же перепрошел после, но в отличии от Extraction Point я не получил той горькой нотки разочарования, а наоборот, остался более чем... удовлетворен. Здесь действительно бодрые бои с новыми крутыми пушками, а некоторые игровые ситуации крепко удерживаются в памяти до сих пор (десантирование на парашутах (с последующей настройкой управления конечно же); побег и уничтожение огромного робота в рушащемся на ходу здании; момент, когда произошел финал оригинальной игры и вы ищете укрытия в старом метро...). Тут TimeGate Studios поработала на ошибками и выдала годный проект заслуживающий упоминания. Кстати говоря, Perseus Mandate- это тот случай, когда скорее жалеешь что он не входит в официальный канон, не в пример предыдущему DLC. Оценка: 7.… Expand

    К сожалению, во втором длс разработчики посчитали что возврат к унылейшим офисным и индустриальным локациям это круто. Пропали открытые арены, как и противники-роботы.

Постановка осталась на уровне первого длс, т.е., слабенькая, над анимациями почти не старались. Сюжет не очень увлекает, гг новый и почему-то ловит глюки, что нелогично. Боевка все также зрелищная и увлекательная, хотя это скорее заслуга оригинальной игры. Разработчики привнесли из нового лишь пару стволов, да нового противника, который очень ловок, жирноват по хп и может юзать различные гаджеты, схватки с ним самые интересные. В остальном изменений нет, длительность игры, на мой взгляд, затянута . Поиграть можно, но первый длс понравился больше.… Expand

    It is not clear what it is and why it was created? This add-on can be safely skipped because there is nothing of value in it.

    Unfortunately, the new enemies aren't that much different from the original ones, and the additional weapons don't add much to the game. Veteran players will have a persistent "been there, done that" feeling throughout the adventure, while newcomers may feel a little lost, since Perseus Mandate makes so many direct references to the previous games.

    We’ll make this easy. If you’re a fan of F.E.A.R. and have just been looking for more of the same firefights with a couple of new weapons and enemies, then you’re probably going to find Perseus Mandate fun. If you’re looking for something new or compelling and some flahy sound or visuals, don’t bother.

    F.E.A.R. doesn't deliver this time around, the looks are fading and the sounds aren't at all new and fresh.
