Line 11:
F.E.A.R. is a [[First-Person Shooter]] set up as a horror movie. The player must survive long enough to unravel the secrets of Project Perseus and it's parent, Project Origin, while battling the Replica forces, ATC security teams and experiencing increasingly disturbing visions. It is not a [[Survival Horror]] game, however, but a near-future sci-fi action game with strong horror elements.
Two mostly [[Canon
The sequel, titled ''F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin'', was released in Spring 2009. In this game, the player controls a Delta Force operative named Michael Becket, who is sent to capture Genevive Aristide, CEO of Armacham Technology. [[It Got Worse|Things get worse.]] Becket undergoes a brutal surgery and experimentation that leaves him a target for Alma, who hunts him down while he himself tries to evade ATC troops and Replica soldiers in order to destroy Alma for good.
Line 69:
* [[Bullet Time]]/[[Super Reflexes]]: The Point Man and Becket have [[Super Reflexes]], which is depicted in-game by allowing them to temporarily enter bullet time. In ''F.E.A.R. 3'', any time Point Man uses this ability, time also slows for Paxton Fettel- allowing him to use a special [[Shockwave Stomp|psychic shockwave]] attack.
* [[Button Mashing]]: Some sequences in ''F.E.A.R. 2'' require you to do this, usually to push... beings away from you.
* [[Canon
** Monolith considers the two expansions, which were made by other developers, non-canon.
** And while those expansions were well crafted and certainly worth playing, on some level it is thankful that they were retconned because that means that Jin and Holiday might still be alive.
Line 84:
*** Hell, the Replica will swear at the drop of a hat. "Do you see anything?" "Shut your fucking mouth!"
* [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard]]: Some enemies can dodge anything from point-blank grenade explosions to lightning. Yes, they dodge ''lightning''. Even more blatant since this is in a game where you can slow the game down to watch your shots make contact, but still not score a hit.
* [[Contagious Powers]]: At first, the Point Man's superhuman reflexes were what made him unique from everyone else. Now, a whole bunch of people have them... Becket, Keegan, the F.E.A.R. Sergeant, Nightcrawler Elites, the Nightcrawler Commander, even Replica clone soldier Foxtrot 813! The Sergeant and the Nightcrawlers [[Canon
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Genevive Aristide in particular, but all of Armacham, really. In ''F.E.A.R. 2'', they {{spoiler|send a virtual army of mercenary commandos to snuff out all the evidence of Projects Origin, Harbinger, and Paragon, and the latter theoretically involved the killing of ''children.'' (Alma going nuclear had already killed them.)}}
** {{spoiler|Aristide isn't worried about a psychopathic dead girl trying to destroy the Earth. She just wants her job back. Stokes lampshades this.}}
