    Cold Fear may be a good game, that's fun to play and offers the daily spine chills that gamers need, but it's far from being a masterpiece. Read more

    In conclusion we can say that Cold Fear is a decent game without anything else. If you can choose between this and Resident Evil 4, the latter gets the upper hand. Read more

    • Gripping atmosphere, No steep learning curve, FPS view for more accurate aiming
    • Simple Storyline, No map, Little savepoints

    A solid title, marred by a few too many irritating aspects, but certainly worth a go for anyone who enjoys a pulpy B-Movie blast. Read more

    • Sections on the boat are superb, Lots of good ideas
    • No map! In this day and age!, Sloppy combat system

    • Creepy setting; vicious enemies; lots of gore; solid camera system; some innovative gameplay mechanics.
    • Exploring can get very repetitive; graphics and audio aren't particularly noteworthy; too short; long load times.

    Zombie mutants, a dark conspiracy, low lighting, a lone gunman with limited ammo … sounds like a survival horror game alright. The situation may not be novel, but Cold Fear makes up for this by dropping the game into the... Read more

    Swapping out body armor for a Coast Guard certified personal floatation device (PFD), Cold Fear takes the survival/horror genre into new ground... that being open water. Except on a boat. In the water. You get the idea. Read more

    Cold Fear is a good survival horror title let down by some horrible load times when entering each room. Nice graphics and sound can be found throughout and it's a game which fans of the genre would do well to check out. Read more

    My first experience with this game was great. I rented it about the time it came out, in search of a good survival/horror. I managed to get through most of the game before becoming too frustrated by the final boss battle that... Read more

    was almost put off buying this game when i saw a multitude of poor online reviews. in the end, the low price tag won me over (£8.96?! its only a recent game!). luckily cold fear did not disappoint! Read more

    • quite action packed, maybe a bit cheesy, but creepy all the same
    • gets slightly repetitive

  3. "A good edition to the sub Res Evil genre"

    The `Survival Horror' genre is a very busy one: you have the Resident Evils and Silent Hills at the top and then a lot of lesser imitators at the bottom. I'm happy to say that this game sits somewhere in the middle. Read more

    Reviewer: Well when i first got this i so wanted it to be Resident Evil at Sea. It wasn't but it wasn't bad. Sorta. First off i know it is set on a russian sea vessel but come on some subtitles for the various rooms and doors ya have to go through. A map would have, Sofa Cinema
