    This games storyline is very fun but stale boring environments leave you wanting more while the weapon set is cool the online mode is less then entertaining all in the game is really scary at some points and shooting is fun even if the graphics are dull and boring

    Very disappointing. I'm a HUGE fan of original FEAR and i even enjoyed both expansion packs. I was REALLY excited for FEAR 2, but here's why i'm disapointed. 1. The graphics are average at best. Even after adjusting brightness, there's this ugly filter that just makes everything look grainy. 2. Multiplayer in FEAR 2 sucks. I mean it sucks bad. FEAR COMBAT multiplayer Very disappointing.

FEAR 2 has a lame 6 levels, and everything about it is just generic. Wow. 3. The slo-mo effect in the campaign makes the enemies appear highlighted. It's a lame effect and I wish it could be turned off. It wasn't like this in FEAR 1. 4. When you shoot an enemy, they splatter into little pieces all over the place. Cool at times, but not as often as it happens. It's very non-realistic and just looks stupid. I wish i never bought the PS3 version and had just rented it. I'll still go through it though.… Expand

    Is not impressive like a "BorderLand 2" but a good game with good manoeuvrability... For me, a game like "Crisis 2" or "Singularity", a solid shooter.

    Now, the spine tingling sequel, Project Origin is here to continue the story of the psychic and psychotic Alma with damn good results. [Mar 2009, p.78]

    F.E.A.R. 2 emerges as an effective, entertaining FPS with a chiller story element, rather than a real survival horror shooter...Play with the lights dimmed, and don't be surprised if you end up squealing (on the inside) like a little girl. [Mar 2009, p.67]

    While the multiplayer is weak and the mood won’t make people forget Dead Space any time soon, the solid action core makes it worth a play.
