F.E.A.R. is an AWESOME game with great performance on the Xbox 360 and PC...

But, the Playstation 3 version of F.E.A.R. that was recently released offers very poor performance...it has framerate problems, disappoint textures, slowdown, every sort of problem imaginable...and just like the majority of other PS3 games, it doesn't let you talk online while playing, even though the Xbox 360 version does.

At least the developers of Project Origin (which is actually, F.E.A.R. 2) had the intelligence to change the name...unlike the developers of Killzone 2. With Killzone 2 people always say, "Why would you make a sequel to such a poorly rated game." Seriously, they should have given that game a different name, too.

Here is the link to a detailed F.E.A.R. review: hxxp://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3158930

well my brother got fear recently and its all right i guess since I'm just playing it i can see its age. it just isn't anything to me but my brother enjoys the multi player

I'm actually kinda tired of this name our product kinda stuff. it worries me that a company cannot come up with something on their own. I like to have input in games sure, but if there is a story, i want the developer to make it.

thats just me though.

daveydz3,

You are right, F.E.A.R. is a game that kind of has "old-school," sort of first-person gameplay...but it is a really good game in my opinion.

You didn't say what system you got it for, but just so you know, there are now FREE updates and additional features for F.E.A.R., and those special new features were built exclusively for the Xbox 360...So, hopefully you got the Xbox 360 version.

This is typical Krogan viral marketing, bash the ps3 version of anything and praise the 360 version.

The 360 version can't even come close to the PC version, simply because FPS games on a console suck balls when compared with the pc counterparts.
