The F.E.A.R. demo was released today. I have been psyched about this game since I first heard of it. I just played through the demo, and holy hell in a hand basket, I was not disappointed! It's got awesome combat with sweet physics and hella cool enemy AI. Not to mention the seemingly overdone yet somehow still awesome slow-mo. It works very well in this game. Graphics are top-notch as well!
I was surprised at how well the enemies fought. For example, in one scene, I went into an open area with a catwalk in the middle. There was one guy on the catwalk and one guy below. As I busted through the door, the guy above saw me, told the other guy and he came after me while the top guy called for backup. After I was did away with them, a chopper/plane had dropped several more guys on top of the catwalk as I was running up the steps. I, of course, started blasting my way through them and the ones that survived leapt over the edge down below to regroup and attack. Of course, I followed, leaping over and charged them from cover to cover. Some of them would leap over or on top of boxes and around crates to fire at me then retreat to cover again. Of course, me being the superior fighter, I leapt over the boxes and crates as the surprised enemies tried to back away while the others attacked me from the sides.
Man... now that's combat!
And don't let me forget the creepy scary stuff. Damn. I must say that all the scariness and darkness and eeriness I expected from Doom 3 is definitely in F.E.A.R.
Well, I'll stop babbling for now. But you guys need to download the demo. Now. Even if you don't like it, download it just to make me happy. Can't wait to buy it!
And GO!
