Fear FactorScore: 1.0 / 10
This is pretty much the worst game I’ve
ever played. I wish I could just end the review here, but I can’t. Fear
Factor is based on the reality show of the same name. The presentation
is utter crap and you don’t need to be a fan of the show to realize how
inaccurate the game is. If Hip Games thought they could use the Fear
Factor license as a quick cash-in, they were horribly mistaken. Creating
games based on “reality” shows is a really bad idea. (Anyone remember
Survivor’s foray?) |

trade.) After customizing your contestant’s
appearance, you have to customize the stats. There are four categories
and they include steadiness, nerve, stomach and stamina. Finally the
game gives your character a random phobia. A couple of examples are
claustrophobia and acrophobia. |

unrealistic mini-games that would never
appear on the show. I guess that’s why the game’s title has the word
“Unleashed” attached to it. There are 12 games in total like Hell-icopter,
a game with many control issues where you take control of a helicopter
while trying to avoid obstacles that would lead to certain death. There
are other games like ones where you have to pick locks while being
pinned down to a train track. There’s a game where you drive a go-kart
on a very high track and there’s even a game where a swinging axe from
above comes down to chop you in two. Of course what would Fear Factor be
without eating bugs and other weird crap? Eating cockroaches might sound
like fun (if you’re into that sort of thing) but like everything else in
the game it’s boring. What hurts the game even more is the fact that
players have to skip multiple turns of multiple AI opponents because
you, “the player”, always has to go last.
