An Amazingly Fun Game – Appointment With F.E.A.R. Review

The original gamebook from the 1980s was one of my favorites, and this adaptation is better in pretty much every conceivable way. The illustrated comic-book elements work well, the art is good and complements the writing, and it feels... well, like a superhero simulator. There are so many delightful touches -- the 1960s-style pause screen, the hat-and-glasses "secret identity," the amusing achievements -- that it's constantly charming. It's not flawless (I'd love for the ability to speed more quickly through areas I've already encountered), but at a cost comparable to a digital comic this is an absolute no-brainer purchase. It'll provide MUCH more enjoyment and re-playability than Random Super-Hero Comic #217.
