Gameplay
--------
As with the previous two releases in the F.E.A.R. Franchise,
F.E.A.R. 3 is a FPS with Horror gameplay. Players experience
action both from perspective of Paxton Fettel - resurrected from
the head he received in the previous game - and his brother
Point Man, who was the trigger man. Since Fettel was indeed
killed in the earlier encounter, his presence in the game is
almost ghostlike, with he relying on a devastating range of
telekinetic powers, including the ability to possess the bodies
of the living in order to perform certain physical tasks. Point
Man on the other hand is quite corporal and is a super soldier
with expertise in a wide range of weaponry. He also has loyalties
to the AI F.E.A.R. Operatives that populate the game. The problem
with this is that the operative's goal is to eliminate the
growing power of Alma, the mother of both Point Man and Paxton
Fettel. Because of this layers will face choices that will pit
duty against family loyalties. Both characters have access to
mech units encountered throughout the game.
F.E.A.R. 3 also features an impressive range of multiplayer
options. The first of these is a co-op mode that allows one
player to take on the powers of Fettel, while the other assumes
those of Point Man as they work together during an uneasy truce.
An additional multiplayer mode is available that tests your
ability to work together under stress and constant fire to get
your squad from point A to point B as a unit.
