Hi, Here are some bits and bytes about me, I'm Richard. My age is 18 and I live in the Netherlands. I like to play games on PC and Xbox 360. I love to play Counter-Strike and I play it almost every day. I'm a big fan of the GoldSrc engine so I play a lot of Half-Life mods. I also like big parties and music festivals in the house scene. Mostly festivals with Hardstyle music.

Cry of Fear

Game review may contain spoilers

I finally finished the mod. This mod is outstanding. I have never seen such a extensive use of the GoldSrc engine before. A lot of developers can see this mod as a good example of what is exactly possible with this engine. It took me about 6 hours to finish it with endind 4. I have never experienced such a scary game since The Suffering on the xbox. It got so scary that sometimes I felt my heart rate increasing. especially when I faced the guy with the chainsaw a couple times. when I saw him in the forest, I almost sh*t my pants. I will set some Pros and Cons next to eachother so people can see how I came to this conclusion.

Pros
+Amazing models and textures.
+Cutscenes I have never seen this good.
+Very good level design.
+Lots of content
+Music and Sound effects are really creepy.

Cons
-You have to visit locations which you already passed by quite often. For example; to pick up keys or fuses. For me it was frustrating because you don't know what to do or where to go. I had to watch a walktrough a couple of times in chapter 4.
-The difficulty was hard for me even on easy. Especially the part in the train wreck was very frustrating.

I am not going to complain about graphics because the engine is over 10 years old. But to me it looks fine. If there is ever going to be DLC or a sequal I will definitly play it! The best SP mod of 2012 so far!
