Call of Duty: Black Ops vs F.E.A.R. 3
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Call of Duty: Black Ops puts you in a different place to all of the other Call of Duty games. Here you are in the 1960’s cold war era and there are dark shadows moving. You step into the role of a CIA agent on the hunt for a dangerous enemy.Though the setting is different you still have all of the gameplay and features of the series that you love. There is an extensive single player campaign, that you can also complete in co op and a huge multiplayer section too. The campaign allows you to control a variety of characters in different locations all over the world and follows primarily the adventures of Alex Mason a CIA operative trying to stop a deadly plot. The multiplayer version of the game has all the experience points and game modes you love with the option to earn and spend COD points for even better gear. One of the best games in the series this departure from the norm is an experience you do not want to miss.
F.E.A.R. 3
F.E.A.R. 3 definitely upped the notch by providing players with two incredible characters to play as - either Point Man, a genetically-enhanced soldier with superhuman reflexes and can manipulate time; or the undead spirit of his brother, Paxton Fettel, who wields amazing psychic powers. The AI in the game is as sneaky as ever, forcing you to have heightened combat awareness or you might just get attacked from behind. You can also pilot an enhanced mech in this game, which is always an awesome thing to do.However, many fans of the series feel that the story has been drawn out way past its lifespan and that the story in this installment is just underwhelming. There are also several major plotholes which just further messed up the story. Not to mention, the gunplay in this game seems to be a much-watered down version of its previous games.
So, if you're a hardcore fan of the story, you might still want to get this game while it's on offer just to enjoy some of the better parts of the plot. But if you're a newcomer, you might want to look to its first or second game instead.
