After playing through this, I 100% get why many see this as the best game Monolith ever produced. However, the passage of time has not been kind to F.E.A.R. and its expansions (those will get their own review soon), and has made this amazing experience far more difficult to deal with.

CONS:
- This is by far the most work i've had to put into a game to work. You have to run the main game in Windows XP compatibility on Windows 10, AND you need to grab multiple fixes just to get the game to start. Like holy sh*t, why do I need to do this much for one game???
- Multiple bugs regardless. Most are harmless; Some are irritating and forced me to use cheats to finish the game (guy shooting me in the f*cking floor)
- Special melee attacks are nice and all, but they either don't work at times or get instantly blocked and YOU get smacked up.
- Need I mention that you need to buy F.E.A.R. Complete at $60 USD for just the first game?
- This could be due to the framerate being pumped to 60, but sometimes it just felt like enemies were hitscanning while my bullets were mostly projectile. I could be wrong, but I remember multiple times where I saw a bullet whiz past me and I still took damage from it.

Overall, it's a really fun game with a massive chip on its shoulder. I only wish that WB Games or somebody would remaster F.E.A.R. and its expansions so people don't have to wrestle with the game for it to work.
But oh man, when you get this game to work, it's a action-packed blast.
