The game puts the player in the shoes of a Fear Factor contestant to complete grueling challenges in order to advance to the next round. It features many of the challenges fans of the show expect, such as verbal psyche-out attempts, gross-out challenges and death-defying stunts. Fear Factor: Unleashed will also feature insane stunts that could never be pulled off in real life. These adrenaline-filled, death-defying stunts will have gamers' pulses racing and add an edge to Fear Factor that can only be done in video games.
