Customer Reviews

A good game book, but not the best in the series so far...
This book is based on a great idea; playing the part of a superhero. In this regard, this game book is entirely original in the Fighting Fantasy series. The adventure basically has you as the hero out to save a city by discovering a meeting of a criminal organisation called F.E.A.R and destroying it!

The game book is also extremely difficult to solve because you must collect clues during the course of your adventure, some of which are very subtle, in order to find the location of the F.E.A.R. meeting. It's hard and involves the use of secret references that makes cheating impossible.

An entertaining game book. Nothing like this has been done before in Fighting Fantasy and it's worth buying and playing in my opinion for being cool and brave enough to break the mould and be so different...

One of the most original titles in the series!
Unlike the vast majority of other books in the Fighting Fantasy Series, "Appointment With F.E.A.R." doesn't have you wielding swords in the direction of orcs and hobgoblins. On the contrary, this title has you as a superhero in a city not unlike New York trying to catch villains and fight crime while ultimately thwarting the evil plans of the F.E.A.R. organisation.

Rather than follow a fairly linear path as in many of the other books, this title has basically 4 different paths to follow depending on which superpower you chose. Some sidequests can only be solved with a certain power and often you have to choose which crime to solve and guess whether it will ultimately lead you to the heart of F.E.A.R. or just be a wild goose chase.

All in all this is a refreshing and very well designed break from the traditional Fighting fantasy style and one of the few that I have read countless times and not got sick of. Highly recommended for fans and non-fans alike!
