    Very one dimensional, yet still oddly quite enjoyable. Still had some good scare moments. Only was able to play the single player as I played this in 2014, so multi-player is irrelevant at this point.

    Two full adventures based upon the F.E.A.R. formula of blasting things that go bump in the night. Basically like Black crossed with Silent Hill, it's atmospherically dark and dank and the bullet time device works quite well. It feels a little dated because the physics aren't quite right - everything feels a little insubstantial - and the graphics lack polish, but it plays quite well andTwo full adventures based upon the F.E.A.R. formula of blasting things that go bump in the night.

    Extraction Point is a decent, though brief, extension of the original title. Perseus Mandate, meanwhile, feels pointless -- a quick cash-in to remind us all that F.E.A.R. still exists before a full sequel.
  2. Multiplayer support and two decently-long episodes equals a good bit of gaming for fifty bucks.
  3. If going through the motions is your thing, F.E.A.R. Files is for you. But gamers looking for a more robust, rewarding and sexy experience can definitely do better than this game.
