What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"The whole thing just feels a bit half-baked, with moody but unimaginative environments, done-to-death one-dimensional characters, exceptionally tired gameplay mechanics that favours basic A-to-B object collection rather than injecting anything even vaguely resembling a puzzle and a combat system that's at best functional, and at worst unhelpful. There are many vastly superior survival-horror games out there in the market, and although Cold Fear isn't a bad game by any stretch of the imagination, there are too many annoyances and there's too little inspiration to recommend that anyone but adventure completists give it the time of day."
"Cold Fear will provide you with a few hours of suspenseful action, but in the end will end up frozen on your gaming shelf."
"Cold Fear has more than a few things in common with games like Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Resident Evil 4, which, if you've played either of them, you'll know is certainly not a bad thing."
"Cold fear certainly does want to be different, and from the moment you set foot on that ship you may just think they have pulled it off."
"Cold Fear is a solid B-movie videogame. It may not be an epic tale, but it packs in enough thrills and zombies to happily pass an afternoon or two. It's a pretty ideal rental title and certainly holds its own with a couple of unique ideas and a solid mood that remains constant through the entire experience. Recommended for those who aren't afraid of the dark and even more so for those who are."
