I was surprised as heck when the new oxm mag came & it had a demo of fear on
it (especially since it got pushed back to march of next year)
I know it's still in development but, it felt rather ordinary to me. It
could of been doom 3 or black.
I have never played the pc version. Just heard how great it was. Maybe
that was my problem my expectations were to high.
The enemy A.I seemed alright thou i only encountered 2 types of enemies
the normal soldier & the soldier with armor on. Them talking to each other
was cool but, they didnt always do what they said they were doing. One time
they said flank him yet both enemies came from 1 side & 1 shotgun blast
dusted them easily. The end of the demo looked promising where you face off
against that mech looking unit. Maybe the full version will do it alot more
justice. The ghost girl really didn't add anything to the game for me. I
guess it's their way of trying to add a storyline to a fps.
I noticed after playing the demo I felt kind of sick in the stomach after
playing it. I had that motion sickness feeling. I haven't felt that way from
a fps in awhile. I didn't even get that way with prey and all the upside
down combat you do on those gravity ramps.

PC version is a great game in many ways. I think it's better than Half
Life 2 and way better than Doom 3 but there are other games which offer
more variety than FEAR.

The ghost girl is part of it. At times the game does get rather scarry.

I have not played the demo but it could be that the game is not
responding fast enough. I know I get motion sickness when watching
someone else play or if I play and the movement is sort lagging behind.

With full graphics the game can bring just about any PC down, the soft
shadows alone cost like 40% of the performance!

Kind regards
