Perseus Mandate offers undeniable value for money. If you love first person shooters, you should really check it out.
-
79Perseus Mandate needs to be the last installment in this tired franchise because the thrill is gone.
-
77A container full of bloody FEAR jam. [Christmas 2007, p.92]
-
Even the positive multiplayer aspect can't be recommended because it is just nothing new. At around six hours to play through, and with only a moderately intriguing storyline to follow, this is about as thin as F.E.A.R.'s welcome will wear without breaking.
-
71Perseus Mandate will probably feel pretty familiar to anyone that has played previous iterations in the series, but is a worthy title for someone new to the scene.
-
70The game is enjoyable and has some great stand-out moments, but it's very much a case of the more of the same here.
-
70Despite the lackluster narrative and dated graphics, Perseus Mandate still delivers a lot of the fun of the previous games. It isn't perfect, but it still manages to be a worthy addition to the F.E.A.R. franchise despite the story.
-
70Unfortunately, the new enemies aren't that much different from the original ones, and the additional weapons don't add much to the game. Veteran players will have a persistent "been there, done that" feeling throughout the adventure, while newcomers may feel a little lost, since Perseus Mandate makes so many direct references to the previous games.
-
This standalone expansion to the respected fps released two years ago has all the telltale signs of a quick cash grab, and the time has left its marks on the engine. But turning the environment into swiss cheese among the sparks of ricochets hasn't lost its appeal, and there is some new stuff to frighten the player and then his enemies with. [Dec 2007]
-
The main problem of Perseus Mandate is that follows the same pattern set by the previous two titles a bit too closely.
-
Perseus Mandate is best played by the most hardcore of F.E.A.R. fans.
-
69Overall this standalone is there to draw new blood to the gaming series, it's a shame that new blood wasn't considered for the actual game itself, the storyline seems incomplete and the graphics below par for this genre.
-
65A solid, competent rehash of aging material that has moments of excitement scattered sparsely through an otherwise middling experience.
-
65It brings nothing new and seems like an after thought to cash in on the F.E.A.R. name before Project Origin.
-
63F.E.A.R. doesn't deliver this time around, the looks are fading and the sounds aren't at all new and fresh.
-
60It's not a bad expansion because although it does little new, it's decently sized and repeats a lot of what made the original game such a hit two years ago, but a lack of any kind of polish to the old ideas of the series, let along bringing forth brand new ones, really does lessen the appeal that this expansion has - and I loved F.E.A.R.
-
A step back for the franchise.
-
The final part of the game, which I won't give away here, should have been FULL of terrifying stuff hitting fans of every size and speed imaginable, and yet… nothing. More non-paranormal enemies. It is, quite simply, the most colossal anti-climax since Halo 2.
-
59We'll make this easy. If you're a fan of F.E.A.R. and have just been looking for more of the same firefights with a couple of new weapons and enemies, then you're probably going to find Perseus Mandate fun. If you're looking for something new or compelling and some flahy sound or visuals, don't bother.
-
58This lack of innovation is disheartening. [Feb 2008, p.72]
-
58If you dig the F.E.A.R. universe and haven't quite gotten your fill of its particular style of clone-killing, office-trashing gameplay, then by all means, give it a go, just bear in mind that you're not likely to enjoy it as much as the original. But if you didn't particularly enjoy F.E.A.R., or are just looking for the best shooter out there, you're better of skipping it.
-
55This stand-alone F.E.A.R. expansion feels completely dated and unnecessary.
-
55It all feels a bit like the fun has been sucked out of this, and a paint-by-numbers rendition of a F.E.A.R game has been put in its place.
-
52F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate is a half-assed second sequel that fails to live up to the original's good name. It doesn't try to introduce anything new to the plot or design of the game, and contents itself to copying the classic in an uninspired manner.
-
50Perseus Mandate trumpets a bunch of "new, new, new!" with its parallel story and extra characters, yet it's quite happy to sit back and rely on its textbook knowledge of how to scrape by on the bare minimum. [Jan 2008, p.56]
-
F.E.A.R.: Perseus Mandate is going to have a hard time competing with the new generation of graphics engines out there.
-
29This game is badly made and overwhelmingly bleak, and while the original F.E.A.R. still exists, there's absolutely no way I could ever recommend anybody buy this, even if you're on fire and this game is a bucket of water. [Jan 2008, p.80]
