A Bullet to the Head
Well there went F.E.A.R. It was awesome from beginning to end even if you basically fight the same assortment of five enemies throughout the entire game with little deviation in very similar environment. The game is almost in thirds with the first third taking place at a water treatment plant, the second third taking place in an office complex, and the last third taking place in an industrial zone and they all kind of blend together. That's the price of making a game that's pretty close to realistic. There's no aliens, no dragons or knights, no cowboys or ninjas or pirates. Just a ton of soldiers, some security guards, and the occasional robot with some more high-tech weaponry towards the end like a particle beam rifle and a hand held rocket launcher. The most far out it gets is the telepathic stuff and the cloning. It's a serious action game with a dose of horror and just a hint of humor in the form of one Norton Mapes. I'll probably get the expansion as soon as I can afford to spend a little money on myself again.
