Well, I can totally recommend this game. Don't play it alone and in the dark.... Well actually it's best if you play it in the dark as it is quite a dark game. It is very creepy though and at times it really makes you nervous and on edge. I think there's now 3 in the series, I bought the first two as a 'package', the original F.E.A.R. (which stands for First Encounter Assault Recon) and then F.E.A.R. Extraction Point. The game has a gimmick (like all games) where the hero that you play moves so fast everything else looks in slow motion. In fact it's very like The Matrix, which the makers said was their 'Goal' and works very well indeed. But like I said..At times your gonna need spare underwear!!
It's a shame you don't live this side of the pond otherwise you could use my copy.... Mind you I'm sure it's not that expensive to send stuff over to you guys? If you want I could mail it?
