  I really am nitpicking though. While other first-person shooters will deliver moments of brilliance, F.E.A.R. gives you the tools and lets you create your own moments. Extraction Point is a must buy for fans, and newcomers should pick up the original and expansion without hesitation.

  The overall campaign lasts only about four to six hours. That's about par for most shooter expansions, and anything longer probably would have felt too long. Even with its intense action and atmosphere, Extraction Point definitely feels as though it's beginning to drag on. Part of that could be the sense that there are only so many replicant battles that you can fight before they all start to feel the same, but the bigger issue is that the plot doesn't really go anywhere.

  Although this is essentially more of the same with a couple new elements, it’s executed well. The photorealistic graphics, edgy atmosphere, and riotous gunplay mix masterfully to create phantasmagoric art. After a long session alone at night with the lights off, you might have to walk slowly and carefully around the house, turning on lights and checking behind the shower curtain.

  F.E.A.R. Extraction Point is a fun experience, while it lasts. It won’t answer any questions posed by the original game, but if you’re scratching at the walls for some more F.E.A.R. action, you should give this one a look. F.E.A.R. Extraction Point is a short-lived but fun experience.

  The expansion also adds nothing to the multiplayer. It still offers more excellent first-person shooting gameplay, but feels like something that could have been tacked on the end of the original product. While Extraction Point's extra features may look great on paper, playing the game all the way through reveals this expansion is too thin.

  4.0

  F.E.A.R.: Extraction Point had a lofty goal to reach in expanding on an instant classic, but it falls just short of the mark. We know its going to be gorgeous, and it is, but we expected to see something more than five hours of straightforward FPS gameplay, especially when the scares aren’t quite as good as we remember in the original. 30 bucks for XP doesn’t seem worth it when what you get feels more like a tack-on instead of a full-blown expansion.
