Despite some great potential and impressive graphical effects, the fun of Cold Fear gets washed out amidst a storm of other problems. Survival horror junkies should give it a look just to experience something a little different, but don’t expect Tom Hansen to deliver a Leon-caliber punch. Unless he’s doing some serious interdicting, he just doesn’t have the skills. Read more

Fun: **May contain minor spoilers** If you have played both Extermination (2001 release) and any of the Resident Evil games, you'll know what I mean by that title if you play Cold Fear. However, I think the setting - on a ship - is quite unique and I was definitely into the game from the start because of this unique atmosphere. Plus the graphics are quite nice in this game, probably the best of any PS2 game that I've played (I played RE4 on Game Cube). However, at least... Read more
