411Mania:
There is a new campaign coming for FEAR 2. The new campaign promises four new levels. The game also claims you will "Experience the end of Alma from a whole new perspective". Well that sounds pretty damn good to me, considering anybody who read my review of the FEAR 2 main title knows that I wasn't exactly happy with the way the game ended. I'm still not sure that I experienced the end of Alma the first time around, as last I checked that chick raped me to get pregnant, and then just vanished… Needless to say, seeing an end to that bitch that violated me has all sorts of potential. Let's see what is on tap for this new DLC.
TheSixthAxis: "Welcome one and all to a new feature we’re running here at TSA called ‘Previously On…’ where we catch you up on the plot of a story-driven franchise that has a new installment coming out. We’re starting today with the F.E.A.R. franchise, which is about to see its third chapter of the main series hit shelves this week. You may be thinking that this franchise is just another mindless shooter with a watered-down story and a creepy little girl following you around, but there’s actually a pretty deep plot surrounding all the chills and thrills you get from playing."
MyPS3 writes: "So the big question: Is Reborn worth your hard earned cash or Microsoft points? For $9.99 you can't expect too much content, and Reborn delivers another great experience in the F.E.A.R universe, albeit at tad short. It includes a slo-mo deathmatch mode which may get some more people into the online side, but ultimately if you are a fan of F.E.A.R 2: Project Origin and want to expand the story just a little further, there is no reason not to get this pack."
There are some lovely attempts at visual design both in the spookiness department and in ideas such as the exploration of a knocked-over skyscraper. Arguably Reborn is simply a pale extension of a shooter that was already set in gloomy, detail-starved environments, but it does have its own little thrills.
