The gameplay of Cold Fear like the story is kind of similar to what Capcom did with Resident Evil Dead Aim. It is a pretty solid story and the voice acting is a bit cheesy, but I feel for the most part they really nail the story.
Once aboard he is part of a nightmare! There is a parasite on the ship, turning people into monsters! What is even worse is that the Russian mafia and the CIA are involved with this and the ship is heading to the mainland! You need to stop this from happening and get to the bottom of what is really going on. Basically, you are playing as Tom Hanson, a fine gent who is part of the coast guard and he heads out to sea to help a Russian whaler that is in trouble. The story never got the attention it deserved.
The story of the game is pretty great and while I enjoyed it I do think that the fact it came out within a year of Resident Evil Deal Aim. When the game was first released, I played through the original Xbox version of the game, but recently I sat down and played through the PC version of the game and wanted to share my thoughts on how this game from 2005 holds up. This is a survival horror game and it was a fairly decent hit when Ubisoft first put it out. Cold Fear is a game that was first released back in 2005 so please keep that in mind.
