Almost...but not quite. October 29, 2006

F.E.A.R. Extraction Point continues to provide about another 6 hours of good solid F.E.A.R.-style gameplay. However, I found the added weapons to be near useless and played most of the game through with my standard combo of shotgun, assault rifle and 1 special (usually plasma rifle or HV penetrator). Plasma rounds were particularly hard to come by. (That's ok, it's a really powerful gun) The chaingun was sort of fun but not as much as I had hoped, and the laser carbine was just sort of silly. Turrets weren't as much fun as I had hoped, but they do make the final fight cake.

The Alma story was continued but not really to the end that I thought. (or I just didn't get it, that's possible too) A large portion of the creep-sequences were not as well scripted as in the original. I missed the visuals on a good number of them b/c I was either not looking the right way, or far more often, b/c I had hit the trigger pt. but since I wasn't charging into rooms blindly, didn't get to see the visual. This was disappointing, since it was a good chunk of what made the original so good. Didn't think much of the ending.

Music was too loud (trying to be dramatic) when launching several 'staged' fights. Which is a pain when you're trying to hear which way the bad guys are going so you can do what you got the game for. You know, shoot them.

Overall: If you liked F.E.A.R., like the smart AI but wanted different weapons or some different buildings to play in this may be for you. Otherwise replay the original or go buy something else. I just replayed the original for the third time right before this came out and I enjoyed it quite a bit more than this expansion. I don't think TimeGate quite 'got' exactly the mix that made the original as good as it was.

No where near the original October 29, 2006

Extreme disappointment is a good way to describe my view of Extraction Point. Now I'm a HUGE fan of the first game, one of the first truely creepy games since the System Shock series. Don't get me wrong I was not expecting vastly improved gameplay, all new enemies, or a new physics engine. What I expected is STORY, a good story can make a good game great! The story of Extraction Point has a chopped off feeling akin to watching the first segment of your favorate TV show and then your wife shuts off the TV. If the game would have been $19.99 and been named "F.E.A.R. Extraction Point: Episode One", that would have been ok. As is, this is like expecting a T-Bone steak for dinner and getting peanut butter sandwich. No I'm not hungry, but boy I'm not satisfied either. To give an real comparison of how short the gameplay is, it took me ~35 min to buy the game (long line at Fry's), 2.5 hours to get home (L.A. traffic), less than 30 min to load (had to reload F.E.A.R. first), and a little more than 3 hours to play. It took longer to get than to play.

Where to start, I was expecting much from the addon to the great game FEAR. Instead you get little. They reused much of the same textures, dark area's, and characters from the original.

No new characters to speak off,non exsistent story line even weaker than the first. You will have a hard time finding much new here.

The game is far too short, you can finish in about 3-5 hours, and its too easy, even on the hardest setting.Ohh and to top it off it adds nothing to multiplayer at all, no new levels, characters or weapons, not even a new mode.

If you never bought the original, you can have the multiplayer for free! Truly there is no reason to pick this up at all. The game is still fun in the way the first game was fun, but feels less like an expansion and more like the last few levels they left out of the game :(.

Not worth 30 dollars in anyway shape or form. Best to wait and buy in the bargin bin for 10 dollars or less. In other words don't support developers who put this kind of "stuff" out at almost full game price, its a rippoff at best.

We need to Show big companies Like EA, Activision, and Vivendi that its not alright to rip us off, the only thing they understand is not buying their products. I finished this the first night I bought it in 3.5 hours of none too exciting gameplay. Then you can uninstall and use as a coaster, an expensive coaster.
