Not a complex shooter, but definitely the most visceral I've ever played. Very inspired by John Woo and Max Payne, resulting in a spectacle of slow-mo explosions and excessive dust clouds. But for some reason, Monolith decided to also take inspiration from The Ring, so this is also a horror game. It's not a very scary one though, meaning the player has to suffer through a bunch of down time designed to "build tension" instead of exploding clone soldiers into red mist with a shotgun. Still, the series never got better than this one.

It's unfortunate that every other developer, including Monolith, forgot the lessons this game taught. Every FPS should have the particle effects and clever AI of F.E.A.R, but apparently games aren't allowed to be fun anymore.
