Fear Factor – Unleashed is a Game Boy Advance game that is based on the reality series Fear Factor. Ports for PlayStation 2 and Xbox, were planned in the next year but later cancelled. The player is able to choose if they want their character to be a man or woman and what skin color they want the character to have.

The character has four statistics which are nerve, steadiness, stomach, and stamina. The video game has 12 mini-games which are the gross-out stunts, the skill-type stunts, and the action stunts. The main game modes are Custom, Fear Factor, Multiplayer and Practice. Each game starts with a brief explanation of the stunt and the controls that are used.

One example is The Pit and the Pendulum. In a fixed screen environment shown from a side view a character is tied up near the bottom of the screen while a swinging axe descends slowly. The player needs to balance a fear meter to keep it steady while opening a lock by moving a shaft and locking barrels. In single-player the character competes against five other contestants who each get their turn with a time to beat.

In another challenge, Gross Out Buffet, the character needs to gobble down Madagascar cockroaches. Examples of other challenges are Creepy Conveyor Belt (move maggots between conveyor belts using your mouth), Helicopter Havoc (use ropes to jump between helicopters in flight) and Runaway Train (obstacle course on top of a moving train). The fear meter is a returning element in each mini-game.
