F.E.A.R.: Perseus Mandate reviewed by Kieron Giacopazzi for AceGamez.
"The Perseus Mandate is the second expansion pack for F.E.A.R., and following in the footsteps of Extraction Point it's really just more of the same. Here events play in parallel to F.E.A.R. and Extraction Point, following a second group of operatives sent into 'Generic City' to deal with Paxton Fettle and his ever-persistent army of super soldiers. So you get occasional nods to the past two games where sometimes the events that occurred before are witnessed from a new perspective, which is all well and good but the plot throws up very few twists that you haven't already learnt".
The image of a pasty-skinned, greasy-haired young girl has become an iconic image in horror films like The Ring, and the original F.E.A.R. introduced a similar figure with great success. Of course, that game gave its ghostly visions a chilling context, drawing you into the unnerving story of a paranormal prodigy named Alma and the horrific suffering to which she was subjected. F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin returns to this fertile universe, but rather than scrutinize even darker reaches of the soul, it merely skims the surface, offering up a series of eerie visions without delivering a good mystery to bind them together.
If you are limited to n4g and ONLY n4g for all your gaming news, the Killzone 2 Gamespot review may already be out. The fact that you would not have seen it of course would be due to the score being below 9/10, immediately showing that Gamespot is paid by M$ and biased against Sony and Killzone 2 and PS3 and Jews. The attempted news post would be immediately reported and denied approval by the 80+% Sony hardcores running this site these days.
Of course, in reality, it's not out yet. But of course, Gamespot taking their time to review a game means it's obviously full of poop and getting Bill's money. It only makes sense right?
As for this review, I think it's obvious that F.E.A.R. 2 is little more than it's predecessor without the originality. Too bad, will make a good rent.
Wow where is the gamespot KZ2 review. They sure as hell didn't waist time with this one. Something tells me they are waiting for the day the game comes out then they'll release it in order to change peoples minds about buying the game. I really wouldn't be surprised.
Either that or i have a pretty wild imagination.
Hmm you really don't look stupid now huh EDGE?
Fear2 8
Killzone2 7 lol
You stick out like a extra prick at a gang bang (quote from killzone2 script).
I feel sorry for you 360 extremists. Not a single AAA exclusive worth buying for almost half this year and probably the rest of it lol. Sux to be a F@CKING BOT LMAO.
I'll check it out but I didn't really think it was going to be anything more than just an OK game.
whaaaaat?
damn thats 2 low
i have finished the game 2 times already and i think that score is 2 low
7 is a high score, and I didn't think this game was very fun based on the demo. I can't judge it fully unless I play the full game, but I didn't like the demo, so for me, this review just further convinces me not to buy or rent the final game anytime soon. Every gamer has different tastes. I mean, a game like Folklore on the PS3 is perfect to some people (for instance, me!) and others hated it (GameDaily gave it a 4 out of 10!). It's tough for review scores to mean anything, they're all subjective, arbitrary crap.
Ve3tro: "In a recent interview with the developers behind the upcoming sequel F.E.A.R.2. The team said the Playstation 3 has certain challenges that are unique, but so does the Xbox 360 and the PC."
Head over for the full interview.
After seeing games such as Killzone 2, Uncharted, Resistance 2, MGS4, and so forth, the only "challenge" I see is picking between a primo AAA first-party title on the PS3 or a half-a$$ed 3rd-party title that probably won't even get DLC support, and that's not much of a challenging choice for me...
It seems not all is tranquil in the F.E.A.R. universe, as Dave Matthews, primary art lead for F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, offered some harsh words on the expansion packs that followed the first game.
Well this is expected, FEAR 2 takes command of a different "Pointman", so I can imagine it's easy to discredit the expansions. That sucks, I actually thought Extraction Point was well done, but Perseus Mandate was a PoS.
I remember similar sentiments from a walt disney executive about direct to vhs/dvd movies...
But they make money so they will happen. No matter how bad they are...
Eh, I never got to them anyway. They're still sitting in my backlog so I can't really comment on how crappy or not crappy they are.
