Day 1 Studios try the brotherly co-op angle in F.E.A.R. 3 with Point Man and Paxton Fettel both playable. The shooting still feels good on a pad, but the scare has left the building in favour of a snappier and far less memorable corridor blast.

Co-op
Description
First-person shooter by Day 1 Studios and Warner Bros, June 2011. Point Man and his brother Paxton Fettel, a body possessor, ally to confront Alma's psychic horrors in a failing American city. Two-player online co-op with distinct character abilities, Slow-Mo combat and multiple endings based on actions. Third and final F.E.A.R. saga episode.
A horror FPS from Day 1 Studios, F.E.A.R. 3 leans on cooperation by pitting two brothers with distinct powers, Point Man and Paxton Fettel, in a campaign blending tactical slow motion gunfights and a supernatural atmosphere around Alma. The asymmetric co-op mode and the snappiness of the gunfights win over fans of two player action. The dulled horror and a direction more action than fright divide series fans. A title for fans of snappy co-op FPS with a supernatural component.
