Pitched against some fearsome FPS competition, F.E.A.R. Files was always going to struggle to impress, and so it has proved. Putting both expansion packs in the same package, though, is a sensible idea, though given that neither are actually as good as their parent offering, perhaps it should have been a mid, rather than full-priced offering. Extraction Point, in particular, is a real disappointment, and one for hardcore fans only, though the substantial improvement offered by the all-new Perseus Mandate makes the package a lot more interesting. If you've somehow still not managed to get your FPS fix in among the deluge of top-quality offerings this past few months, then F.E.A.R. Files offers a decent, if unspectacular diversion.
