  • Summary: Defeating the forces of Armacham was only the beginning. The F.E.A.R. - Extraction Point Expansion Pack takes you to the next chapter - now Alma is looking for retribution. The game kicks off where the original game ended – with a bang. The First Encounter Assault Recon Team (F.E.A.R.) retururns to battle the now free Alma and her paranormal minions across a destroyed city. New locations, weaponry and enemies combine to take the F.E.A.R. franchise to new levels of action and suspense. [Vivendi Games] Expand

  1. Another dose of F.E.A.R. is always welcome, but this story goes nowhere. [Holiday 2006, p.56]
  2. Although it's more of the same from the Monlith camp, if you enjoyed F.E.A.R. then you'll be rejoicing as you play through this next chapter.
  3. Although this is essentially more of the same with a couple new elements, it’s executed well. The photorealistic graphics, edgy atmosphere, and riotous gunplay mix masterfully to create phantasmagoric art.
  4. F.E.A.R.: Extraction Point has great action scenes, but none of them feel any different from what was seen in the original F.E.A.R. What really ruins the expansion is the lacklustre storyline, which basically gives you no answers. [Dec 2006]

  1. Great game from start to finish. Isn't as much of a jumpy/thriller FPS as it is a psychological one. It's somewhat fast paced, but also builds up a sense of tension and horror.. as if a little dead girl is following you're every move. A must play of horror/fps fans. Expand

    It's got the same crazy gameplay than before, just don't come for the story, it's just there to be there. Oh and it's still as scary as hell.
    FEAR extraction point gets 8/10 because it couldnt come up with a good story.(if it had a good story9/10) Expand

    In the end, this game was a great first person shooter in what has been a bit of a year long dry spell. Personally I found to be just as creepy as the first game if not more so then the original, but even so it was just more so of the same. A few new weapons help to move this game along and there was a little progress to the story but not much. In the end if you loved the original you will love the expansion... if you like more of the same. Great game play, great shoot'em up, but a bit short. Hey at least it was far better then the very disappointing (1 hour).... Half Life 2 Ep.1 Expand

    Disappointing from a single player perspective. I thought the first one was too short, this one is even worse. Monetarily it doesnt compute. Its potential is limited by the lack of imagination or effort of its authors. I am disappointed! Expand
