F.3.A.R is a Shooting game available on the 360. It can be played in Singleplayer Cooperative modes.

F.3.A.R is a Shooting game. Shooting games present a world in which the character must shoot their way out of dangerous situations. They provide the player with an array of weapons tailored to specific tasks. This unavoidably involves a combination of fisticuffs and gun based fighting that dictates the violent nature of these experiences. Beneath this harsh exterior though is often an intricate tactile game - and this is usually what drives the player.

F.3.A.R can be played in a Singleplayer mode. Single Player Campaign games focus on one player's experience. Rather than collaborate with other players either locally or online, players progress alone. The campaign style of gameplay offers a connected series of challenges to play through. These chapters work together to tell a story through which players progress. Single player games are able to focus on one experience of a scenario, so that it is usually a richer, more visceral game.

F.3.A.R can be played in a Cooperative mode. Cooperative Multiplayer games provide an experience that is played symaltaneously by multiple players. Unlike the simple arena competitive multiplayer style games where players try to kill the most enemies, true co-operative games are designed to take a group of players through a campaign experience together. This will involve sections where players have to work together to proceed - either from the sheer difficulty as in Halo 3 on 360 or by the design of levels such as LittleBigPlanet on PS3.

F.3.A.R combines great action with neat co-op, but is let down by a nonsensical and incredibly brief storyline. Surprisingly, for a game with such a specific acronym, scares and tension play second fiddle to combat.

Although I found the original's premise hugely appealing, and was impressed by the demo (especially after an ill-advised session alone one the morning), I missed both F.E.A.R and its sequel.
