GameShark

An early Christmas present from Monolith and it is some violent and vicious online action that looks absolutely gorgeous, although players will need a pretty hefty gaming rig to experience it in all its glory.

PC Gameworld

F.E.A.R. Combat will not revolutionize the FPS genre like "Half-Life" did all those years ago, but it is fun, fast paced, and better than many of the other titles out there. And, you can’t beat the price.

As a free download this game is definitely a can't-miss for FPS lovers, and definitely worth a look even for those who might not otherwise take the plunge and pick up a copy of F.E.A.R.

Way to go, Vivendi! It is always better to give it away free than let it be forgotten. [Dec 2006]

It's free... It's F.E.A.R, What's not to like?

Sven r. gave it a10:
Very nice Mp mode for FEAR. Its as nice a sthe SP mode, not so fll of horror, but as brutal as the SP. The only thing to criticize is, that you need about 5-10bullets to kill someone, but just ONE kick.

Pierced gave it a9:
F.E.A.R. Combat is a wonderful free multiplayer game. graphics worked for my old computer and my new computer. The gameplay is intense and playing with friends is fun. The only factor that annoyed me was the update with 1.07 to 1.08. I could not update with the Sierra updater. Instead, some guy on Filefront was awesome and put the update on there. That was the only problem I had.

[anonymous] gave it a10:
Quite an amazing game, need a rather high end pc to run it, but other than that, graphics are beautiful, particle and lighting effects are top notch, gameplay is smooth, fast paced, and the weapons are very well balanced.

Chris K. gave it a10:
Its Free and its great! (Note: Must have a monster computer to run this game).

e g gave it a10:
Fear Combat is the one of the best games for multiplayer and hardcore action lovers.

pointman gave it a9:
