81Puts out where it counts. Cold Fear is a pants-browner. [Aug 2005, p.68]
-
The game utilises a series of components and dare we even mutter it under our breath, clichés that can be derived from any number of horror films and survival horror titles, which is no big fault since for the most part (travelling aside) the game is an enjoyable title away from the established franchises that does offer some new ideas and details to the genre.
-
80A highly polished title that shows that Ubisoft's action-focused approached to the horrific can be gory fun, too.
-
70In the same league as the disposable horror flicks that fill video shelves and late-night cable. It's not particularly frightening, but good atmosphere and short-lived twitch satisfaction is enough to sustain interest for a while.
-
70Cold Fear is an unashamedly old school survival horror game, so you should pretty much know whether you're interested in playing it or not.
-
A leaden feel of backtracking and other nags here and there tie the game down from anything memorable. [May 2005, p.54]
-
70I was really disappointed with this game because it has good potential and includes certain qualities that makes a great game, but fails to deliver.
-
69I must say it's a pity that a game with such a realistic feel and a believable atmosphere suffers from several annoying problems, such as the lack of an in game mini-map or an inventory system and the inability to save your progress or use the health packs at will.
-
Has a forbidding atmosphere (beginning on a ship and moving to an oil rig), violent blood-letting and superb environmental effects. However, we've seen the same kind of lame puzzles (sodding keycards anyone?) and storylines a billion times before. [PC Zone]
-
Taken in isolation, there's no denying Cold Fear's panache - RenderWare has rarely been used to such strong visual effect - and there is a fair helping of survival horror entertainment to be had here, it's just that you have to dig through several layers of frustration to get at it. [Apr 2005, p.96]
-
52Survival horror, that's as bland as bland can be. Cold, yes. Fear, no. [June 2005, p.92]
-
50It's hard not to like Cold Fear for what it's trying to do, but it's also hard not to see the glaring errors that it makes along the way. [Apr 2005, p.119]
-
50Some games are just garbage, and PC gamers are quick to pick up on what is crap and what rules.
