646f9e108c Fear Effect follows the adventure of three mercenaries:Hana,(an ex-prostitute) Glas, (the tough American) and Deke (the sadistic Aussie). Taking place in the future, the mercenaries search for 18 year-old Wi-Ming Lam, daughter of the president of a large organization in Hong Kong. When she runs away Wi-Ming is captured and held for ransom by a group called the Triad. After her father puts out a bounty for his daughter, the three mercenaries arrive in Hong Kong hoping to get some easy cash. Unfortunately, it all goes wrong and a sinister plot involving demons, ghost, and a sacrifice will take Hana and her friends from Hong Kong to a bordello to Hell itself in a story filled with Chinese mythology and filled with irony and deception. Whoa! What can I say that doesn&#39;t delve into the murky world of cliche?<br/><br/>Imagine what happened if Manga made a combination of Resident Evil, Broken Sword and Metal Gear Solid and that is more of less what Fear Effect is all about.<br/><br/>The game starts just like MGS in so many ways, including the ability to &#39;stealth&#39; enemies, with RPG (where Broken Sword comes from) undertones, butsoonyou leave Disk One, it takes a turn for the dark and sinister, Resident Evil style.<br/><br/>The use of weaponry is very Hong Kong movie style (where influences clearly come from-the game starts in a Bladerunneresque Hong Kong), suchusing 2 pistols at once, although the further you go, the more useless they become.<br/><br/>And events of the final disk has to be one of the most atmospheric experiences ever put onto the PlayStation, outstripping anything Raccoon City can muster, especially acting wise.<br/><br/>A must buy, albeit with a &#39;Mature&#39; audience in mind. This four disc game for the Playstation is a great game! It has terrific graphics, great sound, and good controls. The game itself is presented in an anime-style. It so good that while your playing the game it seems like your actually watching an anime movie!!!<br/><br/>The storyline is mixed horror and cyber-punk based on Chinese mysticism. From Hong Kong to Chinese Hell you will travel using the main characters of Hana, Deke, and Glas. The puzzles are good though you can always find the solution for them within the gameplay itself. The only downside is the annoying reloading when you die, which will be often.<br/><br/>Quick warning, the Mature rating is very fitting with scenes of gory violence, crude language, and nudity. Great game for a mature audience!!
