F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate |

You are a member of a secondary F.E.A.R. team that is brought in to find more information regarding the secret project at Armacham. F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate, an all-new stand-alone expansion pack, offers both seasoned gamers and those who have never played the original F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault Recon) the ability to jump-in and experience the fright with a brand new team in an all-new experience. Uncover the mystery that surrounds Armacham and truth behind the Perseus project. Employ new weapons, including the Chain Lightning Gun, Grenade Launcher, and Advanced Rifle. Face off against a horrifying new enemy, the Nightcrawlers. [Sierra]

Gamers Europe
Perseus Mandate offers undeniable value for money. If you love first person shooters, you should really check it out.
79
GamingTrend
Perseus Mandate needs to be the last installment in this tired franchise because the thrill is gone.
77
PC Gamer UK
A container full of bloody FEAR jam. [Christmas 2007, p.92]
72
Jolt Online Gaming UK
Even the positive multiplayer aspect can’t be recommended because it is just nothing new. At around six hours to play through, and with only a moderately intriguing storyline to follow, this is about as thin as F.E.A.R.’s welcome will wear without breaking.
71
Gaming Nexus
Perseus Mandate will probably feel pretty familiar to anyone that has played previous iterations in the series, but is a worthy title for someone new to the scene.
70
GameDaily
Unfortunately, the new enemies aren't that much different from the original ones, and the additional weapons don't add much to the game. Veteran players will have a persistent "been there, done that" feeling throughout the adventure, while newcomers may feel a little lost, since Perseus Mandate makes so many direct references to the previous games.
70
Thunderbolt
Despite the lackluster narrative and dated graphics, Perseus Mandate still delivers a lot of the fun of the previous games. It isn’t perfect, but it still manages to be a worthy addition to the F.E.A.R. franchise despite the story.
70
Computer Games Online RO
The main problem of Perseus Mandate is that follows the same pattern set by the previous two titles a bit too closely.
70
Play (Poland)
This standalone expansion to the respected fps released two years ago has all the telltale signs of a quick cash grab, and the time has left its marks on the engine. But turning the environment into swiss cheese among the sparks of ricochets hasn’t lost its appeal, and there is some new stuff to frighten the player and then his enemies with. [Dec 2007]
70
Boomtown
The game is enjoyable and has some great stand-out moments, but it’s very much a case of the more of the same here.
69
IC-Games
Overall this standalone is there to draw new blood to the gaming series, it's a shame that new blood wasn't considered for the actual game itself, the storyline seems incomplete and the graphics below par for this genre.
65
GamerNode
It brings nothing new and seems like an after thought to cash in on the F.E.A.R. name before Project Origin.
65
PALGN
A solid, competent rehash of aging material that has moments of excitement scattered sparsely through an otherwise middling experience.
63
GameZone
F.E.A.R. doesn't deliver this time around, the looks are fading and the sounds aren't at all new and fresh.
60
Game Almighty
The final part of the game, which I won’t give away here, should have been FULL of terrifying stuff hitting fans of every size and speed imaginable, and yet… nothing. More non-paranormal enemies. It is, quite simply, the most colossal anti-climax since Halo 2.
60
AceGamez
It's not a bad expansion because although it does little new, it's decently sized and repeats a lot of what made the original game such a hit two years ago, but a lack of any kind of polish to the old ideas of the series, let along bringing forth brand new ones, really does lessen the appeal that this expansion has - and I loved F.E.A.R.
60
Worth Playing
A step back for the franchise.
59
IGN
We’ll make this easy. If you’re a fan of F.E.A.R. and have just been looking for more of the same firefights with a couple of new weapons and enemies, then you’re probably going to find Perseus Mandate fun. If you’re looking for something new or compelling and some flahy sound or visuals, don’t bother.
58
GameShark
If you dig the F.E.A.R. universe and haven't quite gotten your fill of its particular style of clone-killing, office-trashing gameplay, then by all means, give it a go, just bear in mind that you're not likely to enjoy it as much as the original. But if you didn't particularly enjoy F.E.A.R., or are just looking for the best shooter out there, you're better of skipping it.
58
PC Gamer
This lack of innovation is disheartening. [Feb 2008, p.72]
55
Ferrago
It all feels a bit like the fun has been sucked out of this, and a paint-by-numbers rendition of a F.E.A.R game has been put in its place.
55
GameSpot
This stand-alone F.E.A.R. expansion feels completely dated and unnecessary.
48
Cheat Code Central
F.E.A.R.: Perseus Mandate is going to have a hard time competing with the new generation of graphics engines out there.
29
PC Zone UK
This game is badly made and overwhelmingly bleak, and while the original F.E.A.R. still exists, there's absolutely no way I could ever recommend anybody buy this, even if you're on fire and this game is a bucket of water. [Jan 2008, p.80]
