Despite its unforgiving difficulty,
f1i Fear Effect
f0i0 is an innovative cinematic adventure that serious gamers won't want to miss. Set in a dark, futuristic world,
f1i Fear Effect
f0i0 has players switching back and forth between its three
f1i anime
f0i0 -style protagonists. With a story that's filled with plot twists and heaps of what the Entertainment Software Rating Board finds offensive, this is far from kiddie fare.
Easily one of the most visually striking PlayStation titles,
f1i Fear Effect
f0i0 shines with Japanese-animation-inspired 3-D character graphics and full-motion-video environments that allow for nearly seamless transitions between story sequences and gameplay. With the exception of restoring saves and changing CDs, there's virtually no game interruption.
Unfortunately, it's very easy to die in
f1i Fear Effect
f0i0 , which not only wrecks the game's pacing, but can be really quite maddening. Many portions of the game are more frustrating than challenging, requiring players to die and reload their last saved game over and over until they get things just right.
And while
f1i Fear Effect
f0i0 's less-than-perfect controls admittedly do take some getting used to, its real-time inventory system is just plain awkward during combat sequences. It's doubtful that professional mercenaries like the ones you're playing would be fumbling about while changing or reloading weapons in the heat of battle.
Despite its flaws,
f1i Fear Effect
f0i0 does manage to keep you hooked, and is one of those games you just have to see through to its end.
