There is still some nugget of charm buried deep within Perseus Mandate however and I was pretty surprised by the reaction of one or two people in the office when I got my hands on it. Within moments, two people had separately mentioned to me how they wanted to borrow the game when the review was done so they could try it out. There just seems to be something about the franchise that gets people coming back no matter how bad I tell them the game is. The depressing thing is that I know how bad the game is, but I’ll still probably give it another full playthrough next time I have some time spare.

You see, that’s the rub, as they say. Perseus Mandate isn’t a great game and it isn’t even a good-looking game. But if you’ve read this review this far then we have to take it that you liked the original F.E.A.R. an awful lot. If that’s true then the chances are you’re going to pick this game up anyway, purely to experience the extra bits of the story. It’s a shame that you’ll likely waste your time on Perseus Mandate, because with the number of great games coming out at the moment there’s no excuse to be caught playing Perseus Mandate. None at all.
