Cold Fear is in many respects a Resident Evil 4 clone, it improves on some of the latter’s mechanics and adds it’s own flavor, and is also much scarier but it doesn’t live up to Resi 4’s fluid play, camera and overall polish. But make no mistake if you like killing things that aren’t altogether human and like to jump then you shouldn’t pass up Cold Fear. During a severe arctic storm the protagonist; Tom Hansen of the U.S. Coast Guard receives a SOS from a nearby Russian Whaler. Upon reaching the rocking vessel the rescue team finds that it appears to be deserted, but as these things often play out Hansen quickly becomes the only survivor of the team. To make a long story short; you quickly end up fighting several types of nasty zombie like enemies, humans, and small parasites (which are at the heart of all this trouble), with an array of weapons and environmental hazards like gas valves, Electric Transformers (fry zombie fry!), and of course the omnipresent explosive barrel. Besides the zombies you have an ever-present enemy when you come above deck in the form of the ocean itself. Not only will the heaving seas and waves throw you overboard, but also they make your aiming unsteady, blur your vision, and can toss you across the deck or into a wall if don’t tread carefully. Besides the whaler cold fear also takes place on an oilrig. Cold Fear (available on Xbox, PS2, & PC) Publisher: Ubisoft Developer: DarkworksVollständige Rezension lesen
Pros + Creepy atmosphere!!! + Has the cinematic feel of the old Resident Evil games as well as a behind the back camera angle. + Awesome visuals on a boat that is at times just as scary as the monsters you fight. Cons - Camera angles can still be a bummer since some of the enemies move super fast at times. - Ending feels forced and doesn't explain some things well enough. - Most of the time you fight crazed Russians rather than monsters. Comments This game will never be Resident Evil 4 but it can try as it may. The characters are not so interesting but the game is fun, visuals are slick, and looking out ino the sea is an awesome experience that makes you think the boat just may capsize at times. Just think of this as 'Resident Evil' & 'The Thing' all rolled into one and put on a whaler ship. There are a lot of creepy moments that you just should not pass up. Verdict Must buy for horror fans but all others should probably rent first. Must have for all of you Xbox owners bummed out about not having Resident Evil 4. 4/5Vollständige Rezension lesen
This game is a little fun. If you like Resident Evil then you'll probly like this game. The feature I didnt like was the shooting. You have no control or aim. It takes about 6 shots to land one unless you play the game a lot and get really used to it... Overall I think this just passes the time if you have nothing else to do.
When I first seen the ad for this game I thought, "I have to get this game". Then the tv ads made it worse. I havent seen a game like this before and to me it was a very good idea, which is why I had to have it. Think Resident Evil meets the Titanic. The graphics are awesome! When I play a game, it's like sitting down to read a good book, I really get into the character of the game. Headphones help out alot too. The first thing that drew me in was "fear". Your on a boat in the middle of nowhere and you have a gun and don't know what is behind doors or what you are about to face. Instant classic.
Thanks you. I got the game early Great game. One more for my collection
