    F.E.A.R. 3 is a fantastic FPS game that blends exciting combat with plenty of scares and non-stop suspense.

    The controls are tight and responsive, the story is well-written and intriguing, that continuous fear factor is a huge bonus, and the Challenge system for ranking up forces you to experiment.

    F.E.A.R. 3 is a good shooter but never surpasses the very first F.E.A.R. game. The gameplay is very smooth and you'll be playing this campaign multiple times because of the co-op and the different gameplay elements each brother possesses. F.E.A.R. 3 lacks scary moments and that is a pity, seeing how this used to be a key element in the series.

    A welcome treat, if only for its nerve-grinding atmosphere. The campaign is far too short-with Fettel, you could probably whiz through it in three or four hours-but the multiplayer modes are a lot of fun.

    While F.E.A.R. 3 is at its best as a solid(and fun)co-op shooter, it stumbles as an addition to the series. [Sept 2011, p.82]

    Maybe if it inspired loss of bladder control in the same way the original did - or, better still, how Monolith's Condemned did - it might have been slightly more memorable. FEAR 3 is sadly lacking in the fear department, and has subsequently lost its defining characteristic.

THIS GAME IS AWESOME! It is just a blast to play. Whether you're Point Man or Fettel, you will love the game. It is short, but like some other games, like Vanquish, there is plenty of reason to replay and a great multiplayer. There are some bad textures here and there, but overall, the game looks beautiful. The actual gameplay is just about flawless. Just buy it. Go on. BUY IT!… Expand

I picked it up on day 1First off let me just say when i first saw the trailers for this game I was not expecting this game to be good. I picked it up on day 1 because I wanted to finish the story and because I had purchased all the FEAR games on day 1. I was pleasantly surprised with this game! I enjoyed it. It's not my favorite FEAR game but its definitely a freaking sweet game. Rent it or Buy it. Whatever you do at least try it.… Expand

The single-player campaign is scary and can be played with a friend. However, on the PS3 version, I couldn't play any of the mp modes 'cause there was no one playing the MP and I could only find one co-op campaign match, WTF?! Either way, its fun, even on co-op.… Expand
