One of the last of its kind.

Fear is one of the last Singleplayer FPS made exclusivly for the
PC and that simply shines in the core-gameplay. Its intentionaly
barren and chilly in the presentation. No detail-overload,no
made to impress artwork here. Very restrained in colour. The
player is supposed to be focussed on the gameplay not on the nice
vistas.
Certainly Fear is a game to easily improve upon because it has
a very solid core,but they changed this core for the sequel and
that is the badest decision they couldve made.
