Fearfully fun if a little samey. August 28, 2010
PsychicDriver
F.E.A.R 2 is good fun but not quite the classic that the original F.E.A.R was. This 2nd installment has you as a Special Forces soldier Sgt Michael Becket viewing the events depicted at the end of F.E.A.R from a slightly different viewpoint. You then go on to follow ALMA's path of destruction and the scary,psychic child is now becoming a bad attitude teenager throwing hissy fits etc [and the occasional downed airplane] at one and all.
You mostly fight on foot FPS style but a great time can be had with the MECHA suit found on one of the levels and you can blast away legions of the cloned super soldiers that are sent against you. You have to sign up to a STEAM account so your games are down loaded and I have a fairly high spec machine so the graphics looked very good.
F.E.A.R 2 is pretty much the same as F.E.A.R and the others with your slow time enabling you to destroy the minor baddies without too much bother and that's the problem it all feels a bit samey but with that aside I found F.E.A.R 2 to be like a dumb B-Movie. Fun if you like gory blasting and the occasional horror thrill but not much else to write home about.

 Disappointed. An after actions mini-review April 7, 2010

I bought this game about a year ago. I didn`t know it was Steam until I started installing or I wouldn`t have bought it. It was only after I looked VERY hard I saw small writing on the back of the box that says `Steamworks`. So what`s the problem?
Well, it`s a year later, the damn game sits in the attic- useless. Unreturnable, unresellable. No one else can buy the game and try\enjoy it for themselves. I even thought about replaying the game again, but it was so arcady, uninspiring and short (I finished in one weekend- about 8 hours), that I just can`t be arsed.
Without steam i could`ve sold it and maybe buyer number 68 could`ve been playing it right now instead of it collecting dust in the attic pointlessly.
This is why i stay away from Steam unless i know the game has years of replayability which Fear 2 has not.
It`s dirt cheap now, so it probably don`t matter, but I paid £30 at the time. Still a waste that it can`t be resold.
A solid shooter ... on a budget February 12, 2010

After some mixed reviews I had my doubts FEAR2 would compare with the original. Indeed for about the first quarter of the game it seemed to present nothing new or exciting. The story is pared down - mostly about stopping Alma. Sure, the special effects were more amazing than ever, and graphics - whilst a bit cartoonish at times - still created an effective (if not scary) atmosphere. It was from the time that I had to take out the multiple enemies with a sniper rifle that things started to pick up - a definite ramping up of tension. Then, a particular highlight for me, piloting the armoured assault vehicle (seen in many an action blockbuster) that still puts you in enough jeopardy to keep things exciting.
Ok, so it is a linear game, but then most are, even the COD series can be accused of that. If you've played lots of shooters it might even seem predictable and too easy [on normal]. I played it mostly on hard setting, and with no quick-save option that certainly got my adrenaline flowing. Could also be a frustrating experience to have to repeat a section, but that's the trade-off.
Here are the down sides: It is a fairly short game, but at risk of it becoming repetitive that's probably not such a bad thing. The tie-in to steam is a hassle if you don't already have an account. But once that's set up it's no problem (at least for an average broadband) and means not having to insert a disk. It's a one-time installation. The controls are a bit fiddly; much better to use the alt-mouse for zoom and x for melee.
In conclusion, I would rate it somewhere between the original and Perseus Mandate - which was certainly the worst. But at a price of a about a third of most games I would say it is good value for money.

F.E.A.R. 2 feels a lot easier than its predecessor. You will get the occasional fright from F.E.A.R. 2, but it lacks the magic of the first game. True some of the changes in the game address some of the problems in F.E.A.R., tedious,claustrophobic environments and lack of enemy variety. However even with these changes the game seems to have lost some of the magic of its predeceessor, with the fright factor being greatly diminished. However playing F.E.A.R. 2 is a good experience and a way to pass the time while we wait for the next installment.
