Fear Effect is a truly amazing game. It is an explosive action-adventure on 4-discs. You follow three mercenaries, who is on a job in Hong-Kong. The first thing you`ll notice about the game is the fact that it looks gorgeous, with lots of fancy animation and cool things happening in the backgrounds. The soundtrack sets a perfect atmosphere in Fear Effect. Just like in John Woo`s actionmovies, the characters in Fear Effect are able to hold two pistols at once, making actionscenes a treat! The story is innovative and very interesting, but I won`t spoil that for you. Fear Effect is probably one of the last truly original and classic games we will see on the playstation 1. The storyline is a mature one, which is a refreshing change from the "cute/childish" storylines of most other games out there. There is plenty of violence and even some hmmmm.... sex in this game.
Go buy it!(if you are over 15/17) 9/10

This is surley the best game on PS1 especially if you are a guy. I mean even though it is a cartoon the idea of continuous violence and even some tit shots of Hana taking a shower and flashing a dude is for sure to be a good game. Defenitaly buy this game action,nudity,profanity. what more do you want....In part two there is a little girl on girl ;) just wait you will see.
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!!!
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.
Quick warning, the Mature rating is very fitting with scenes of gory violence, crude language, and nudity. Great game for a mature audience!!

I find this game to be very unique(Apart form the the hot female main character), but the story graphics, and controls are all very interesting only thing i do not like is the inventory. Another thing to note is the difficulty. the game has some though spots to make it interesting but the creators did a good job not to make it impossible to beat the game. It is very fun to play and its one of those games you can play over and over again. It makes me think of the puzzles and challenges of tomb raider and the action and story line of resident evil. I recommended picking this one up if your bored with the games they make now days. You will not be disappointed with this game it is very appealing. I would rank this game in my list of top 3 games. By the way check out the sequel Retro Helix.
This game is really worth purchasing.
The graphics are very remarkable and unique! Used with a twist of anime-style, cartoonish/realistic computer animated surroundings. The characters' movements and facial expressions during cutscenes are so well put together, that it's believable! Speaking of cutscenes, did I mention that there's just piles and piles of them? That's what I love. The CG animated cutscenes fit so well and occur so quickly and often during gameplay. It's almost too good! The developers made sure they used advanced high technology to assure that the gameplayers would be satisfied with the computer graphics and animation. I am very impressed with the developing of this game.
The plot is amazingly eccentric, and it has challenging puzzles to solve, along with difficult, but exciting battles.
Using multiple characters; Hana, Glas, and Deke, you will wander throughout an awesome futuristic version of Hong Kong. As these three mercenaries plot to kidnap the daughter of the most powerful Triad leader in the city, they come across some strange and frightening revelations of what really lies behind the truth, that the girl is holding secretly.
The game includes content fit for mature audiences only: -Adult Language (Which I adore) -Nudity (Which men adore) -Explicit animated blood, gore and violence (Which 'sickos' adore) -Suggestive themes (Which video game nerds like me adore!)
There's only one thing that I can think of that might be detested. Probably the game controls. When I first played the game, I was disappointed with the controls because they were irritatingly difficult to get used to, and made the game even more complicated than it should be. If you are patient, and take your time with practice, it shouldn't be much of a problem after a while. But if you're impatient, and don't want to learn your own way, dying constantly could lead as a result. It does take practice, but after you get the hang of it, you'll be much happier with it.
So, as a conclusion, I say that this game is quite challenging, but it's definitely worth playing for anyone who likes the contents above. ^
At least give it a try, if you haven't before. You're least likely to regret it. :)
