Fear Factor: Unleashed Fear Factor: Unleashed puts you inside the action of the hit television show, Fear Factor. Conquer 12 spine-tingling stunts that test your steadiness, nerve, stamina and stomach in this action-packed game. Create your own profile and compete against a colorful cast of characters who are determined to prove that fear is a factor for you!

In real life, eating a bowl of cockroaches or jumping between moving helicopters might be excused as spontaneous eccentricities of being young. In Fear Factor: Unleashed, these same tasks start to take on a less capricious feel as they are hastily cobbled together into a mournful facsimile of a video game. Of the meager 12 "challenges" offered, two are identical, one is virtually impossible, and all of them are completely broken. In your twilight years, you will have to answer for the inglorious mistakes of your youth; stuffing maggots in your craw is an excusable error, but if you play Fear Factor: Unleashed, you deserve to find forgiveness in the heart of no human.
