    I downloaded fear combat, but when i double click the setup file to launch the install nothing happens. Anyone else come across this?

    I am re-downloading it right now from another site to see if its the file i downloaded

    I dont think the 1.77gb download is worth it.

    Try disabling anti-virus temporarily - what AV are you using?

    PS - I think it is definately worth it. ;)

    i agree with usapatriot. It does get boring quick. HOWEVER, the graphics are amazing, especially for a free game. My eyes got tired very fast though, so maybe this game was designed by those eye evangelists to strike FEAR into those who say playing 8 hours of computer games can still give you 20/20 vision.

    it gets boring in long runs, i only play a round or two at a time, but i come back after a while and the appeal is still there.
