THIS IS LIKE COD BUT JUST THE TONE IS DARKENED A BIT AND THERES THIS CRAZY LITTLE W**** WHOSE NAME IS ALMA,SHE DOSENT EVEN LOOK SCARY AT ALL!!!!ITS ALL SO CHEESY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AND IF YOU COULDNT STAND STUFF LIKE SAW OR CONDEMNED SERIES,DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT THIS!!!!!!ONE OF MY FAVOURITES!

This game is very fun for shooter fans. It has a fair amount of blood and the gunshots can be put into slow motion, which is worse. Blood splatters, there are marks on the enemy, and blood is projected onto walls. I have shot enemies in half at times, too. It does have some VERY jumpy scenes in it, and this causes you to feel terrible throughout the game. Every corner you feel reluctant to turn, because there could or could not be something there. But aside from that, if you can deal with jumpy moments and the blood, you will enjoy this game. Some examples of violent or scary scenes are: When climbing down a ladder a zombie-like figure rushes towards you. Some of it's skin is missing. You head towards a door and find it is locked, then turn around and Alma, the evil girl, is directly in front of you. There are some "dream" scenes which involve you swimming through blood etc. Also, the game features a weapon which nails enemies to walls. If you can handle this, you will enjoy the game. I personally think BioShock is worse in terms of adult features.

Well i just got this game and i am 13 so yes and i am allowed to play this game 1st off the violence really isn't that bad if your kid has call of duty 4 then you will be fine in the story they say F**K ALOT so that is really the only problme. there is blood and it goes every where and the story is kind of creepy but if you played Condemned 1 and 2 BTW the people who made the Condemned seriese made F.E.A.R. and if you watch scary movies and alot of that stuff you will be fine but this is deffinatly for 13 and up.

F.E.A.R. is an AMAZING game. Seamless graphics, life-like physics, and amazing sound just make the game simply awesome. I will not deny that it is gory. It is VERY gory. But what shooter today isn't? I think the thing that would disturb PARENTS the most is that if the player studies the storyline good enough, *SPOILER* he/she finds out that the creepy little girl (Alma) was forced into early labor at eight years old, and you are pretty much trying to kill your mother. (even more creepy, she's your mom!) I think kids that are scared easily should not play this game. It is pretty creepy. The best starting age for 'trying out the game' would be at least 10, when your child should be finally out of the 'zombies are gonna eat me!' phase. But it's a great game, and i recommend it to anyone who likes a good horror/action game.

Not for kids 14 and under. I watched my friens play this game and I found it very thrilling, adventerous, and violent. What is Common Sense talking about language? No gore is shown and all of the violence is cartoon, but I agree, it is preticularly violent. - Jeremy

well this game may look like fun and it is, it has quite a few F-words and pretty much every door you open something scary or nasty is gonna happen like blood dreeping from the roof or shooting someone with a shotgun but over all it has amazing graphics and a good story line but i regret playing it i think it should only be played by 17+
