FEAR was fun the first time around but it has absolutely no replayability value, and this is coming from someone that plays virtually every game at least three times. The fights are neat at first in the way each one is a special battle instead of a few random baddies placed here or there throughout the level, but they get repetitive and at many parts the AI is blatantly scripted and exploitable. Most of the weapons were pretty lame as well... I used the beginning assault rifle for probably 90% of the game, and this was on hard difficulty. They needed to add more unique fights like the electric ninja guys and such to freshen it up.

FEAR sucks, true, but Half-Life 2 isn't much better. It was a really big dissapointment, actually.
The Water Hazard/We Don't Go to Ravenholm/Highway 17/Sandtraps/Nova Prospekt 5-punch combo was outstanding. Every mission stuck out from the other and felt truly unique, from the part where the gunship goes crazy and throws hundreds of mines at a time to the antlion wars to the headcrab cavern, but after that? The game devolves into a flurry of repetitious battles against the same old combine over and over, shooting stupid glowing balls out of machines, and all sorts of other crapiness. After playing Follow Freeman for an hour I just quit the game it was so awful. Great way to ruin an otherwise great game, Valve. :thumbsdown:
