The main selling point of this game is very satisfying gameplay, which combined with surprisingly impressive and unpredictable AI can create very engrossing combat encounters.

Gog version better

Abandoned by the devs and refuses to work on modern systems, they didn't even bother to give any of the F.E.A.R. games banner images/logos, which is a miniscule detail I know but it says how much they care about the series. I don't want to be forced to run this game through Windows XP compatibility mode or to look for fixes through countless discussions or guides here that do nothing but refer to shady sites and just as unsafe github links (that'll most likely infect my PC with countless viruses if I was dumb enough to install anything from those sites/links) just to play this one, no matter how much of a classic it is. Hell, it doesn't even "support" certain resolutions like basic 720p or 1080p as you can see while going through the options, such a shame. One simple patch could solve many of these issues, or maybe a "BFG Edition" type treatment but nope, WB doesn't care and I assume Monolith doesn't really have much say on it at this point and instead they restrict the only possible way to get this to a ridiculously overpriced bundle, such a disgrace. At least I was lucky enough to purchase it way before any of that was happening.

So no, definitely don't even think about paying FIFTY FIVE FRIGGIN' DOLLARS for this god awful rotting version and maybe do as others say and get the GOG one. You can just get the rest of the series on here and complete your collection that way if you really want to, and actually save yourself an entire TEN bucks while actually -possibly- being able to play the damn game. Disgusting practice from WB.
